How to Create and Reuse Images in Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot makes it easy to create original AI-generated images for presentations, social media posts, newsletters, websites and other business content. Better still, you can return to images you have already created without starting again. Copilot stores your generated images in its Library, so they are easy to find, download and reuse.

How to create an AI image in Microsoft Copilot

  1. Open Microsoft Copilot and sign in to your account.

  2. Enter a clear image prompt describing what you want Copilot to create.

  3. Include useful details such as the subject, setting, colours, style, lighting and image shape.

  4. Submit the prompt and review the generated options.

  5. Refine your prompt if you want to change the look, composition or detail.

  6. Open your preferred image, then download or copy it for use in your content.

What makes a good Copilot image prompt?

The more specific your prompt is, the more control you have over the result. Describe the main subject first, then add context, visual style and any important constraints. For example: Create a bright, modern illustration of a small New Zealand business owner using AI at a laptop, with a clean office background, natural daylight and space for a headline.

How to find images you have already created in Copilot

If you have created an image in Copilot and want to use it again, open the Library. This is where your previously generated images are stored. You can browse your past creations, reopen an image, download it or reuse it without generating the same image again.

Why use the Copilot Library?

  • Save time: quickly return to images you have already created.

  • Keep your content consistent: reuse visuals across related campaigns and documents.

  • Reduce duplicate work: avoid recreating an image when the original already meets your needs.

  • Manage AI-generated images: keep your Copilot creations together in one convenient place.
