Process

How image generation works.

01

Write a specific prompt

Describe the subject, style, lighting, and mood so DALL-E 3 has enough direction to work with.

02

Choose style and size

Pick Vivid or Natural, then render for square, portrait, or landscape layouts.

03

Generate and refine

Download the PNG, inspect the revised prompt, and move straight into the rest of the image toolkit.

Prompting

Write prompts that give the model direction.

Scene

Name the subject clearly

Start with the main subject and setting. “A cozy coffee shop interior” gives the model a usable foundation.

Style

Tell it how to render

Add direction like oil painting, digital art, film still, watercolor, or photorealistic so the output lands closer to your intent.

Lighting

Control the mood

Golden hour, soft window light, neon glow, or dramatic shadows change the image more than generic adjectives do.

Framing

Ask for composition

Call out close-up, wide shot, centered product shot, or cinematic angle when you care about layout, not just content.

A weak prompt like “coffee shop” leaves the model guessing. A useful prompt names the subject, mood, lighting, and style in one pass.

Questions

What people ask before they generate.

How does the AI Image Generator work?
It uses OpenAI's DALL-E 3 model to generate images from text descriptions. You write a prompt describing what you want, choose a style and size, and the AI creates a unique image in about 10-30 seconds.
What styles are available?
Two styles: Vivid produces more dramatic, hyper-real images with saturated colors and strong contrast. Natural creates more photorealistic, subdued images that look like they could be real photographs.
What image sizes can I generate?
Three options: Square (1024x1024) for social posts and avatars, Portrait (1024x1792) for phone wallpapers and stories, and Landscape (1792x1024) for banners and headers.
Is image generation included on free plans?
AI Image Generation is a premium feature because each generation uses paid API credits. If you want image editing, compression, conversion, or resizing, those browser-first image tools are separate from the paid generation flow.
What kind of prompts work well?
Be specific about subject, setting, lighting, style, and mood. "A golden retriever sitting in a sunlit meadow, oil painting style, warm afternoon light" gives the model more direction than "dog in field." Include artistic direction when you have a vision.
Can I use generated images commercially?
Yes. Images generated through DALL-E 3 can be used for commercial purposes. You own the rights to the images you create. Check OpenAI's usage policies for the latest terms.
Why was my prompt rejected?
DALL-E 3 has content safety filters that block prompts requesting violent, sexual, hateful, or deceptive content (e.g., deepfakes of real people). Revise your prompt to avoid restricted content and try again.
What format are generated images?
All generated images are PNG at the selected resolution (1024x1024, 1024x1792, or 1792x1024). For smaller file sizes after downloading, run the image through our <a href="/compress-image">Image Compressor</a> or <a href="/image-converter">convert to WebP</a>.
Can I edit or modify generated images?
Yes. After downloading, you can use our other image tools: <a href="/crop-image">crop</a> to focus on a section, <a href="/resize-image">resize</a> for specific dimensions, <a href="/remove-background">remove the background</a>, or <a href="/watermark-image">add a watermark</a>.
Why does the generated image look different from what I described?
DALL-E 3 interprets your prompt and may revise it for better results — the revised prompt is shown below the image. Be more specific about composition, style, and details to get closer to your vision. Check the prompting section for guidance.
Can I still use the other image tools without a paid plan?
Yes. Image generation uses paid API calls, but the rest of the image toolkit can still be used separately for tasks like compression, resizing, conversion, cropping, background removal, upscaling, and OCR.
Can I generate images on my phone?
Yes. The tool works in any modern mobile browser. Write your prompt, choose style and size, and generate. The interface is fully responsive and touch-friendly.
How long does generation take?
Typically 10-30 seconds depending on prompt complexity and server load. A live timer shows elapsed time. If generation takes longer than 60 seconds, try a simpler prompt or try again later.
