How to Use ChatGPT to Generate Images (Plus Alternatives)

How to Generate Images in ChatGPT

Subscribe to ChatGPT Plus. You must have a subscription to ChatGPT Plus to access Dall-E 3 and generate images in ChatGPT. ChatGPT Plus costs $20 a month. DALL-E 3 is also available in ChatGPT Team and ChatGPT Enterprise.

Enable DALL-E 3 in ChatGPT. To generate AI art, you'll need to enable DALL-E 3 if you haven't already. Go to https://chat.openai.com in a web browser, hover your mouse cursor over GPT-4 at the top of the page, and click DALL-E 3 at the bottom of the menu.

Ask ChatGPT to create images for you. Use standard text prompts to tell ChatGPT what type of image you want to generate. For best results, make your prompts as descriptive as possible. Include a subject, a description of the subject, an action (what the subject is doing), and a background or location. You can also include an art style (3D, photograph, oil painting, cartoon sketch, etc.). Avoid using vague and subjective terms like "ugly," "beautiful," or "gross." Use physical descriptions instead. You can also ask ChatGPT to generate images in Square (1024 x 1024 pixels), Wide (1792 x 1024 pixels), and Tall (1024 x 1792 pixels) sizes.

Edit a picture. ChatGPT will generate 4 images per text prompt. To modify one of the images ChatGPT generated from your prompt, use the picture's number to reference the image, and ask ChatGPT to modify that image only. For example, you can write as a prompt, "Take picture 1 and change it to daytime instead of night." You may not generate the exact same picture, but it will be close. The pictures are numbered 1 in the upper-left corner, 2 in the upper-right corner, 3 in the lower-left corner, and 4 in the lower-right corner.

Download your image. To do so, click the icon that resembles an arrow pointing down over a tray in the upper-right corner. You can find the picture you downloaded in your Downloads folder.
