What Updates Have Been Added To Paint?

The Paint app on Windows 11 now supports Cocreator, a powerful AI tool that can generate realistic and diverse images from any text description. It’s a perfect tool for anyone who loves to draw but lacks the skill or experience. It’s a powerful functionality that helps users try different ideas and combinations without putting in a lot of time and effort.

Cocreator holds the potential to unleash users’ imagination and make stunning artwork that suits their style, preference, and purpose with the help of AI.  It is currently available only to Windows 11 users who are in the Canary and Dev channels.

What are the Requirements For Using Cocreator in Paint?

To use the new AI-powered Paint feature, you need to meet the following requirements:

• Not everyone can see the latest Cocreator feature right now, because of the gradual rollout. Hence, you need to make sure you are running the latest version of the app.
• You have to sign up for the waiting list for the feature within the app, which may take a few days for approval.
• Once you see the Cocreator feature, you need to have credits to create images with it. It’s like a currency that you use to generate images. By default, users receive 50 credits & each time you generate an image, you spend 1 credit.
• You should respect the intellectual property and copyright of others, and not use Cocreator to create or share images that may infringe on their ownership or attribution.
