DALL-E was one of the first widely accessible AI image generation programs to pose a technological breakthrough. This generative model can create completely new digital art based on prompts you send, like “create a futuristic car with a cat driver inside.” By using machine learning and diffusion models, it can give you results within seconds, and it understands natural language, so you don’t need to learn specialized vocabulary.
Whether you’re a content creator, marketer, teacher, student, or just a casual user, DALL-E lets you test your imagination and visualize your concepts. It can also use photos you send it and work off them as the basis for new creations. You can ask it to create a photorealistic portrait, a surrealist painting, or a cartoon-style illustration and then iterate on the results.
DALL-E can generate brand new images, edit existing ones with painting, or expand the image through outpainting, so you are able to modify parts of a photo or illustration, or get more context on a cropped photo. It supports multiple styles, can understand nuance, and pays attention to details, to give you more accurate images. You can use DALL-E through ChatGPT apps or through your browser, and there’s a limit to how many pictures you can generate for free.
