The most difficult part of utilizing Bing Image Creator is not operating the software, but rather gazing into a blank prompt field with no idea what to enter.
Here are 50 plus prompts you can make use of that are categorized into five groups to help you with the process. You can use any of the prompts without changing the wording or substitute any color, animal, or place as per your requirement. New to the tool itself? Start with how Bing Image Creator works first.
Quick tips before you start
A good prompt should consist of three elements: the subject, the frame/atmosphere and the light. “A cat” will give you any cat, but “A whimsical cat hiding behind decor, during midday” will give you something more appropriate.
While using prompts below, please be careful.
- You can swap any color, animal and place with your choice. Structure matters.
- If you want a particular style of art, you can add a style word, like painting.
- In the end, use the phrase about light. This will give you an advantage, as many people ignore using it.

Vague prompt vs. detailed prompt
Similar concepts, very distinct outcomes. This is the way that the process looks like in practice:
| Vague prompt | Detailed prompt |
|---|---|
| “A dog” | “A Siberian husky standing in fresh snow, icy blue eyes, soft overcast light” |
| “A city at night” | “A vibrant, energetic city street at night, neon signs, busy crowds, rain-slicked pavement” |
| “Space” | “A vibrant cosmic explosion, bursts of color and light radiating outward, deep black background” |
The vague prompts are not incorrect. They simply provide the entire model’s choice of decision. Yet the precise definitions elucidate the exact thought.
Common mistakes that flatten a good prompt
- Combining too many elements together: Too many elements in one prompt, e.g. a dragon, a castle, a thunderstorm, and a knight can lead to a chaotic picture. Use one key element and work on extending it.
- Ignoring the lighting prompt: The phrase “golden hour,” “soft moonlight,” or “neon lights” sets the tone of the picture, so without it, the result will be flat.
- Naming any living artist: DALL·E 3 doesn’t allow prompts that contain names of any living artist. You can, however, describe their style.
- Neglecting the background: Without the background, the subject will just be rendered against the flat background. Just adding in a background description phrase (“in the calm forest,” “on top of a building”) can enhance the image.

All in all, it is the format of the prompt with the right combination of subject, setting, and lighting that makes it work.
