What is DALL-E?

DALL-E is an AI image generator developed by OpenAI. It produces original images from text prompts and is available directly inside ChatGPT, so you can describe what you want in conversation and get a visual back. It sits in the creative and design category, helping marketers, writers, and content creators generate imagery and graphics without design software or stock photos.

What you can do with DALL-E

DALL-E is built for generating and adjusting images through simple conversation. Practical examples:

Make several variations of a visual to compare different directions

How to get started with DALL-E

DALL-E is easy to reach if you already use ChatGPT. A few tips to begin:

Open ChatGPT and simply ask it to create an image of what you need
