Have you ever opened a report or presentation and realized that half the story is trapped inside an image you can’t fully understand?
Maybe it’s a busy chart, a graph with tiny labels, or a photo that’s missing any kind of description. You know the information is important—but it’s locked away.
Microsoft’s working on a clever fix for that. And it’s one that’s going to make life easier for everyone—especially people who rely on accessibility tools.
It’s called Describe Image, a new Windows 11 feature powered by local AI that runs directly on your computer.
Here’s how it works: on Copilot+ PCs (the next generation of AI-enabled Windows devices), you’ll find Describe Image under the Click to Do menu. Click it, and your PC instantly generates a detailed description of any image, chart, or graphic on your screen.
No cloud uploads. No waiting around. Everything happens locally, keeping your data completely private and secure.
At first, it may sound like a small feature—but the potential impact is huge.
Imagine a colleague with a visual impairment being able to understand a complex graph in seconds—without needing someone else to explain it. Or picture a manager skimming a long report and getting quick AI-generated summaries of embedded visuals. It’s accessibility and productivity working hand in hand.
Right now, the feature is rolling out to Windows Insiders on the Dev Channel for Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, with support for AMD and Intel devices coming soon.
And this isn’t just about compliance or checking a box. Accessibility features like Describe Image help create a workplace where everyone can access information, contribute fully, and collaborate more effectively.
Because when technology adapts to people—instead of forcing people to adapt to technology—everyone wins.
Windows 11 continues to evolve with these thoughtful, people-first improvements. Describe Image is one more reason to be excited about what’s next.
