Before attempting to generate sensitive content, it is highly recommended to read through the Microsoft Designer Terms of Use and AI safety policies.
Understanding Microsoft Designer's Content Restrictions
Microsoft Designer uses strict safety filters and policies that prevent the creation of harmful, violent, or abusive imagery.
Microsoft Designer operates under Microsoft's overarching Terms of Use and AI safety policies. These guidelines strictly prohibit the generation of unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, hateful, pornographic, or otherwise objectionable content.
There are no individual permissions or licensing exceptions that can override these built-in safety filters. If a prompt requests violent scenes or graphic details, the AI will likely block the request and return a policy violation notice.
Avoid using explicit words related to violence, weapons, blood, or harm, as the AI's content filters will automatically flag and block these prompts.
If you are designing for a historical, educational, or fictional context, ensure the prompt focuses strictly on the setting or mood rather than graphic or objectionable actions, though safety filters may still intervene.
Visit the official Microsoft Designer website and locate the Terms of Use page at the bottom to read the complete list of restricted content types.
