DALL·E now available in beta

We’ll invite 1 million people from our waitlist over the coming weeks. Users can create with DALL·E using free credits that refill every month, and buy additional credits in 115-generation increments for $15.

DALL·E⁠, the AI system that creates realistic images and art from a description in natural language, is now available in beta. Today we’re beginning the process of inviting 1 million people from our waitlist over the coming weeks.

Every DALL·E user will receive 50 free credits during their first month of use and 15 free credits every subsequent month. Each credit can be used for one original DALL·E prompt generation — returning four images — or an edit or variation prompt, which returns three images.

Free credits are available to early adopters who signed up to use DALL·E before April 6, 2023

A powerful creative tool

DALL·E allows users to create quickly and easily, and artists and creative professionals are using DALL·E to inspire and accelerate their creative processes. We’ve already seen people use DALL·E⁠ to make music videos for young cancer patients, create magazine covers, and bring novel concepts to life.

Other features include:

• Edit allows users to make realistic and context-aware edits to images they generate with DALL·E or images they upload using a natural language description.

• Variations can take an image generated by DALL·E or an image uploaded by a user and create different variations of it inspired by the original.

• My Collection allows users to save generations right in the DALL·E platform.

Pricing

In this first phase of the beta, users can buy additional DALL·E credits in 115-credit increments (460 images^A) for $15 on top of their free monthly credits. One credit is applied each time a prompt is entered and a user hits “generate” or “variations.”

As we learn more and gather user feedback, we plan to explore other options that will align with users’ creative processes.
