How to use DALL-E in ChatGPT-4 to create AI images

You no longer have to exit ChatGPT to create AI images. OpenAI has integrated its leading AI visualization engine, DALL-E, into ChatGPT conversations. Thanks to that, you just need to prompt ChatGPT to create an image, similar to how you prompt it to create text.

This article will show you how to know which GPT in ChatGPT supports DALL-E image creation. The article will also tell you how to prompt ChatGPT to create images when and how you want.

Sign up for ChatGPT Plus to access DALL-E

DALL-E's image generation features on ChatGPT are locked behind OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus (and Team) subscription. That's just one of the many reasons you should consider upgrading to ChatGPT Plus. GPT-3.5 does not have the ability to create embedded images, and you will not be able to access GPT using DALL-E's capabilities.

After doing this, you will now have access to DALL-E. You should still refresh your browser or log out and back in to make sure everything is working properly.

Unlike DALL-E 2, DALL-E 3 does not have a standalone website for you to access, you can only officially access it through a ChatGPT subscription. And you're better off paying for a flexible ChatGPT with superior image generation capabilities than buying credits on DALL-E 2. You should save DALL-E 2 when you need free AI images or if you need to use Use DALL-E 2's external drawing tool.
