In August, OpenAI brought DALL-E 3, its AI image generator model, to all users with a free ChatGPT account. However, there are some limitations. ChatGPT free users can only generate two images per day. But with a paid ChatGPT Plus account, users get unlimited image generation.

• How to generate images with ChatGPT

Step 2: Ask ChatGPT for the image you want it to generate

Starting with a prompt like "generate an image of" or "create an image of," type a description of the image you're envisioning, such as "dog chasing a tennis ball." The more descriptive the prompt, the better the results will be. So, include words like "photorealistic" or "renaissance-style" to describe the style of the image, and "chubby corgi" or "sleek greyhound" to describe what kind of dog you want it to depict.

Step 3: Ask ChatGPT follow-up requests for any adjustments

If you're not quite getting the image you want, you can give ChatGPT feedback for any adjustments. In this example, let's say we want the chubby corgi to really portray its feverish desire for the tennis ball, you can type in a prompt like "make the chubby corgi desperately frantic to catch the tennis ball. Include drool and slobber." ChatGPT will understand the context of your request, so there's no need to include the original description in the follow-up prompt.

Step 4: Download your DALL-E 3 image or keep experimenting

If you're happy with what DALL-E 3 has created, you can download the image from ChatGPT by tapping the download icon in the upper righthand corner. Otherwise, you can keep prompting ChatGPT for a different image with more detailed description.
