Digitalize your relationship with a custom 3D avatar. Using Microsoft Designer’s Image Creator, type in your desired prompt or edit the one we used to create the image below.

Stuck on your Valentine? Create a sticker just for them!

Create a heartfelt sticker for your valentine(s) using Microsoft Designer's Sticker Creator. From Microsoft Designer's home page, select the Sticker Creator and write a detailed prompt to create the custom sticker of your choice. If you need help brainstorming a prompt, customize the options below:

Create a valentine-themed sticker that includes [an interracial couple, a man with brown hair and a woman with long black hair], side by side. Include a [black fluffy dog] in the middle.

Create a valentine-themed sticker with a couple, [man and a woman, sitting and hugging on a white couch]. The [man has brown hair with a striped shirt] and the [woman has long dark hair with a red shirt]. Put a fluffy [brown puppy] at the foot of the couch.
