OpenAI has announced a new feature for ChatGPT Free users, allowing them to generate up to two images per day using the DALL-E 3 model. This feature was previously exclusive to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who can generate up to 50 images daily. The rollout began on August 8, 2024, and is gradually being made available to all users on the free tier.

DALL-E 3 is an advanced AI image generator that can produce photorealistic images and accurately interpret text prompts. It is integrated with ChatGPT, enabling users to request image creation directly from the chatbot. Users can ask ChatGPT to create images for various purposes, such as designing logos or visualizing concepts for presentations. However, the free tier does not include in-painting capabilities, which allow for modifying parts of an image.
The decision to offer this feature to free users appears to be a strategic move by OpenAI to showcase DALL-E 3's capabilities and potentially encourage more users to subscribe to the paid service. Despite the limitation of two images per day, this addition increases the value of the free tier and broadens access to AI-generated images.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and DALL-E, continues to focus on enhancing its AI models and expanding their accessibility. The introduction of DALL-E 3 to free-tier users reflects OpenAI's ongoing efforts to democratize AI technology while maintaining a competitive edge in the AI landscape.
