ChatGPT doesn’t just generate text responses! It can also generate images! 🖼️
Actually, it’s a different tool that generates images created by OpenAI: DALL·E 3. DALL·E has now been integrated into ChatGPT. You can start image generation from the chat interface. That’s quite clever!
First Steps with DALL·E: Create a Logo
ChatGPT understands that you want it to produce an image. There are no options to enable this (other than activating GPT-4). Type your request, then wait a few moments.

Let’s try it:
🧔🏻♂️: A logo for a pizzeria specializing in pineapple pizzas

Cool, right? 😀 (well, apart from the pineapple on the pizza)
The first response isn’t always the best one. Sometimes, the image isn’t exactly what you wanted. There are a few ways to resolve this. Let’s look at some of them.
Rerun Image Creation With the Same Instructions
Simply click the little button to “reload” to generate a new image after a few moments:
Rerun image generation if you don’t like it!Another version of the logo
There you go! It keeps the same instructions but generates something different. 😉
Request Changes
Still don’t like the image? Point out what’s wrong with the image and specify exactly what you want. Be insistent!
For example, let’s say I was expecting a round logo. You can just tell ChatGPT!
🧔🏻♂️: I want the logo to be round
🤖:

Change the “Hidden” Prompt to Enhance the Results
ChatGPT automatically enhances your prompt to provide more detail in the image. This helps DALL·E generate beautiful images with more visual elements.
The enhanced prompt can be found by clicking “i” (1). You can then copy it (2).
You can then copy this prompt to change it and make a new, more precise request to DALL·E, if needed.
An Overview of the Possibilities
The possibilities for image generation are almost endless. 😳
Here are a few ideas to spark your imagination! ✨
Create a Poster
Do you need a poster for your festival? For a film? For an album cover?
🧔🏻♂️: A colorful poster advertising an open air music festival. The text “Festival of Sounds” is in the center, with images of guitars, microphones, and happy crowds. It has a modern graphic style with bright colors.
🤖:

As you can see, the text isn’t quite right. ChatGPT gets there eventually. You sometimes have to strongly emphasize the importance of getting the text PERFECT.
I have no doubt it will improve over time.
Create a Drawing for Children

Imagine a UNICORN at the BEACH. Isn’t that the ultimate dream picture to color in? 🤌

Generate Photorealistic Images
AI can now generate very realistic images of (fictitious) landscapes and people. Go ahead and give it a try!
🧔🏻♂️: Photo of three people between the ages of 20 and 30, taking a selfie in Saint-Malo, France
🤖:

Or even:
🧔🏻♂️: A photorealistic image of an old historic European village at sunset, with cobblestone streets and stone houses illuminated by street lights. Rooftops reflect the golden sunlight, creating soft shadows.
🤖:

Create an Interior Design
AI can be a source of inspiration by generating interior and exterior design ideas.
🧔🏻♂️: A modern, elegant interior design for a living room. Include a blue velvet sofa, a glass coffee table, green plants, and wall shelves with books and decorative items. A neutral color scheme with hints of blue and green.
🤖:

Suggest a Website Design
Looking for inspiration for a website mockup? Ask ChatGPT for ideas!
🧔🏻♂️: A website mockup for a landscape architect. A “Free quote” link must be displayed.
🤖:

Create Images for Social Media
ChatGPT can save you time when posting on social media. It understands how social media sites work and the formats they use, so you can request an image for Facebook, an Instagram story, an Instagram post, a YouTube video thumbnail, etc.

Let’s Recap
DALL·E is a tool integrated into ChatGPT that generates images on demand, without needing specific technical skills.
Users can start image creation by simply entering their request, and then ChatGPT and DALL·E handle everything else.
Users with a ChatGPT Plus subscription can create images with DALL·E if GPT-4 is activated.
If a generated image does not meet your requirements, you can restart the process or request specific modifications to refine the result.
DALL·E has the ability to generate photorealistic images, mockups, and logos. It can even integrate text coherently into images. The possibilities are almost endless!
