ChatGPT has been a dependable text generator for personal and professional use. It brings entertainment and can increase productivity. But if it can generate text, can ChatGPT generate images as well?

If you ask ChatGPT to generate images as an image generator, here’s its response:

However, not all hope is lost since ChatGPT is under the OpenAI umbrella. The OpenAI platform has three features: ChatGPT, Dall-E 2, and Dall-E 3. Plus, they have an API allowing developers to use it for app development.

But if you submit a code as a prompt, you can let ChatGPT generate images! Scroll down below to find a code to let ChatGPT generate images for you.

What is the ChatGPT image generator?

Dall-E 2 and Dall-E 3 are the two image generators under the OpenAI umbrella. Dall-E 2 is the earlier model, which you can access anytime. However, it requires you to buy credits to generate images. Meanwhile, Dall-E 3 is a feature of ChatGPT Plus, the OpenAI subscription model.

What Plugin Generates Images in ChatGPT?

If buying credits would be too costly, plugins are a workaround for generating images using ChatGPT. Note that plugins are available on the ChatGPT Plus subscription model. But what plugins should you use?

1. Argil

Argil helps ChatGPT Plus users experience image generation without leaving the app. And if you need a seamless experience, you need to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus and have an Argil account.

According to Argil, you can use the image generator by training it. Once trained, go to ChatGPT and select the Argil plugin. From there, it will generate images.

2. MixerBox ImageGen

How to Get Images from Other Open AI-Powered Image Generators

1. Canva

Canva uses the OpenAI and Stable Diffusion Models for their Magic Studio feature. 

However, you can use Dall-E in your Canva account to generate images using that image generator app. But when using Canva, make sure that you are a registered user to access the OpenAI model.

Here are the steps in using Dall-E with Canva.

Go to your Canva dashboard.

On the left side, scroll down and click Apps.

It will lead you to a new page to click “Dall-E.”

A pop-up will let you select if the AI-generated image would be used in an existing or new design.

When you choose a new design, you can choose “Custom Size” or find the canvas you need for your art. Fill out the width and height of the canvas and click “Create New Design.”

From there, you’ll go to their editor to fill out your prompt. Make sure it’s detailed to ensure the OpenAI model will understand what you need.

You can download the image if you’re satisfied with it. Or, you can submit a new prompt by following the steps above.

3. Bing Chat

Who knew that a search engine like Bing would adopt AI models for search and images? Bing Chat (for images) uses the Dall-E 3 model to generate images.

Well, if you’re Team Bing, here’s how to get images from your favorite search engine.

You should go to the Bing Image Creator site. Make sure that you have a Microsoft account before submitting a prompt to Bing.

Once signed in, you can submit your prompt. You can fill out the prompt box and click Create. It takes a while for the image generator to work on your prompt. The Dall-E 3 model will generate three images based on your prompt.

4. Kapwing

Kapwing is another AI image generator you can count on if you want images from the OpenAI model. The image generator app encourages you to submit a detailed prompt to get AI-generated images. Here’s how to get AI-generated photos from Kapwing.

Reminder: You need a Kapwing account to use the image generator. Plus, you need to subscribe to Kapwing to generate images.

What Code or Syntax Can You Input?

Pollinations.ai has created a code letting you generate an image on ChatGPT without leaving the site. You can copy the code here. Make sure that you copy it word for word to ensure that ChatGPT will generate an image. Here’s how the code works.

Although ChatGPT maintains that it only generates text, the OpenAI model will help you with images. Additionally, one specific code can become a workaround for generating photos in ChatGPT without subscribing to ChatGPT Plus.

Users have three ways to get images from ChatGPT or the OpenAI model. First, you can subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, allowing you access to the marketplace and integrate plugins into your account. Second, you can use AI image generators powered by the Open AI model. Three of them have free options, allowing you to take a test drive before using Dall-E. Finally, you can use Pollinator.ai’s code to generate images.

Why Work with Penji?

We have seen how AI works its wonders in many industries, including graphic design. However, nothing beats the work of a human designer. Here’s why:

  • You don’t need to download plugins, get a hit-or-miss design, or waste your time and money on unoriginal artwork. AI gets its designs from what it gathers on the internet. It struggles with generating its own art, which doesn’t do much for differentiation. On the other hand, human designers have the ability to think outside the box, giving you unique and innovative designs that AI won’t be able to.
  • Human designers, with their deep understanding of contexts, whether it’s cultural, historical, or social, can craft visual assets that resonate clearly with your target market, giving you the confidence that your designs are always on point.
  • AI lacks emotional intelligence, enabling it to create designs with impact, meaning, and emotions.
  • Human designers, with their ability to make ethical considerations and consider the implications of their work on society, can ensure the creation of inclusive and accessible designs, avoiding any harmful or offensive elements. This commitment to responsibility in design is something that AI simply can’t match.
