You've seen people make post graphics with ChatGPT images or Midjourney. Here's how in Copilot: the Create section of the Copilot app makes images from a description, with your company's brand kit and colors if it has one.

A common situation (composite)

The post is written.
The stock photo looks like every other company's.
I want something that looks like us, today.

What you get

Data: a description of the image and your brand kit if your company has one.
Does: generates and edits images.
Output: a square, portrait or wide image ready to post.
How often: each post or campaign.

Before you start

Needs: Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat with your work account (a Microsoft 365 Copilot license gives steadier quality). Not sure what you have? Start here.
Where: Copilot app, Create an image.
Access: Copilot only uses content you already have permission to open. Use only information your company allows in Copilot.

The steps

Open the Copilot app, select Apps and more, then Create.
Select Create an image and paste the prompt.
Set Style, Brand and color, and Size. Square fits most feeds, Portrait fits stories.
Generate, then use Transform with AI or Text to adjust. Select Save and copy.

Copy this prompt

Prompt: feed post

A clean flat-design illustration of [subject, e.g. a small team planning around a whiteboard], [brand color] and white palette, lots of empty space in the top third for a headline, friendly and modern, no text in the image.

Prompt: quote card

Minimal background for a quote card: soft [brand color] gradient, subtle geometric shapes in the bottom right corner, calm and professional, large empty center area for text, no words.

Refine with Transform with AI

Make the background lighter, move the main subject to the right, and keep the empty space on the left for text.

What a good result looks like

The image leaves room for your headline. Add the words yourself with the Text tool so spelling is right.

If a feature is missing

Brand and color only shows brand kits if your company set them up. Without one, name your hex colors in the prompt.

Make it smarter

Keep a short "What it got wrong" note. Paste it above the prompt next time, like "Don't invent dates".

Not sure what to ask? Copy the quick note for your Copilot admin.
