The short answer

In Bing Image Creator, describe the subject, action, place, light and style in one to three natural sentences. Everyday language works, but short, specific English often gets details across better. The service name, where you access it and the model behind it can change, so check the official guidance.

How do you write a Bing Image Creator prompt?

Write the subject, action, place, light and style in one to three natural sentences.

Bing Image Creator is an image generator you ask with sentences. Rather than piling up tags, joining what it is, what it is doing, where, and with what light and style in short sentences gets your idea across. Put the subject first and the things that must be kept (clothing colors, number of people) early to get closer to what you want.

Order	What to write	Example
1	Subject	an anime girl with long black hair
2	Action / expression	waving and smiling
3	Clothes / props	wearing a yellow raincoat, holding a clear umbrella
4	Place / time	on a rainy city street in the evening
5	Light / style	soft city lights, anime style illustration

Anime girl in a yellow raincoat with a clear umbrella waving on a rainy evening street — 雨の街と傘

Soft picture-book style anime girl in a flower field — 雨の街と傘

Can you ask Bing Image Creator in plain everyday language?

Rinka's tips

If a long sentence does not work, try the same content as a shorter, more specific phrase and compare
Some entry points let you choose the aspect ratio and some do not. If you cannot, nudge it with words like vertical portrait
To keep the number of people, say it clearly, such as only one girl

How do you get an anime-style picture?

Add one style phrase such as anime style illustration at the end and do not mix in photo words.

Look you want	Words to add	Words to avoid
Anime illustration	anime style illustration, cel shading	photo, realistic, 8k photo
Soft picture-book look	soft watercolor illustration, pastel colors	dramatic, gritty
Game icon look	cute game icon, simple background	detailed background
Poster look	poster design, bold colors	blurry, low contrast

Avoid asking by the names of specific works, artists or animation studios. It can lead to rights problems and is also a common reason for blocks.

What if prompts are blocked or results miss? (Common mistakes and fixes)

Usually a word hits the usage rules, or the sentence is too long.

Problem	Cause	Fix
Blocked, cannot generate	Words that hit the rules, real people's names and so on	Rephrase, remove names of people or works, check the official rules
Looks like a photo	No style words	Add anime style illustration at the end
Extra people appear	Vague number of people	Put only one girl, alone near the start
Text-like patterns appear	Many objects that hold text (signs, books)	Reduce objects that hold text
Every result is different	Vague sentence	Be specific about clothing color, place and time
