Meta has begun rolling out Muse Image, an AI-powered image generation and editing tool, to users of Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, as well as its Meta AI platforms, in a global release. The tool is designed to let people create and modify images directly within the apps they already use.

Muse Image allows users to generate original pictures from text prompts, edit existing photos, and apply creative effects. The feature is integrated into Meta's chat and social apps, so users can access it without leaving their conversations or feeds.

The rollout comes as Meta continues to expand its artificial intelligence offerings across its family of apps. The company has been testing various AI tools over the past year, and Muse Image represents a broader push to make generative AI available to its billions of users.

With Muse Image, Meta aims to simplify the creative process for everyday users, whether they are enhancing a photo for a story, creating a custom sticker, or producing artwork for a post. The tool is available in multiple languages and regions, though Meta has not specified which countries are included in the initial rollout.

The introduction of Muse Image positions Meta to compete with other AI image generators, while also integrating the technology more deeply into its core social platforms. Users can expect to see the feature appear in app updates over the coming weeks.
