You can describe a banner or start from a template, choose a color palette or brand kit and a size, and then copy, download, or edit the generated banner.

How to create a banner with the Microsoft Copilot app
Access the Create section of Copilot using one of the following methods:
- Go to What do you want to create? in a web browser.
- Go to Copilot in a web browser, select the Apps and more icon in the top left of the window, and then select the Create icon.
- Open the Copilot app, select the Apps and more icon in the top left of the window, and then select the Create icon.
If prompted, sign in with an account that has a valid Microsoft Copilot subscription to access the Create section.
In the What do you want to create? window, select Design a banner. If you don't see this option, select More... and then select Banner in the menu that appears.
If desired, select a template from the Explore banners section. If you select a template, a prompt based on the selected template appears in the Describe the banner you want to create prompt box. You can use this prompt as-is, or make changes based on your needs.
If you're not using a template, describe the banner you want in the Describe the banner you want to create prompt box. Make your description as detailed as possible to get the best results.
If desired, select Color to pick from color palettes to set the basic look and feel of your banner.
For work and school accounts, Brand and color is available instead of Color. Use Brand and color to apply a brand kit and a color palette from your organization to the banner. Brand kits are only available if your organization has set them up. For more information, see Create and manage official Brand kits in the Microsoft Copilot app.
Select Size and then select the desired size for your banner. You can select from one of the following sizes and shapes:
- Teams post.
- Word document.
- Outlook email.
- Outlook event.
Select the right arrow ➜ on the right hand side of the prompt box to start the banner creation process. Copilot generates your banner based on the description and settings you provided.
When the banner creation process is complete, several banners are displayed from which you can choose. Select the banner you want to use.
If you're happy with the selected banner, you can copy it or download it by selecting the Copy icon or Download icon at the bottom right of the banner. Otherwise, you can make changes by selecting Edit at the bottom right of the banner.
If you decided to edit the banner, in the Transform with AI window you can enter what you want changed in the prompt box under Imagery located. You can also make changes to the Style and Color/Brand and color. Further refinements can be made using the tools along the right such as Edit and Text to really make the banner your own. You can continue refining your banner until it meets your expectations.
Once you have modified the banner to your satisfaction, you can copy or download the banner by selecting Save and copy.
