Image to DALL-E Prompt

Q: Can I use it via the OpenAI API?

Yes. The prompt is plain text — pass it as the prompt parameter to the images endpoint.

Upload any image and get a DALL-E 3 prompt — plain-English description that ChatGPT or the DALL-E API will use to generate something similar. No parameters, no quality tags.

Why use AI to write DALL-E 3 prompts from images?

DALL-E 3 prompts are the simplest of the bunch. No parameters, no negative prompts, no quality-tag rituals — just describe what you want in plain English. An image-to-DALL-E-prompt tool turns an image into a clear, ChatGPT-friendly description of what's in it. Paste it into ChatGPT, the DALL-E API, or any tool that uses DALL-E under the hood.

The image-to-prompt tool returns four prompt formats in one click. The DALL-E format is the one tuned for what you'll be pasting — but if you want to compare, the General, Flux, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion formats are all in the result tabs.

DALL-E prompt tips

A few things to know when using the generated prompt with DALL-E 3:

DALL-E 3 prefers complete sentences over keyword lists. The general prompt format from the free tool works directly.
ChatGPT will rewrite your prompt before sending it to DALL-E. To prevent that, prepend "Use this prompt verbatim:" to your message.
DALL-E 3 has stricter content policies than other models. Some prompts that work on Midjourney or Flux will be refused.
For square output, ask DALL-E for 1024x1024. For portrait, 1024x1792. For landscape, 1792x1024.
DALL-E renders text in images better than most models — if your source has text, the prompt will mention it.

How to convert an image to a DALL-E prompt

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work for DALL-E 2 or DALL-E 3?

DALL-E 3. The plain-English style works on DALL-E 2 too but DALL-E 2 understands simpler prompts better.

Will ChatGPT change my prompt?

By default ChatGPT rewrites prompts before passing them to DALL-E. To send your prompt as-is, prepend "Use this prompt verbatim:" or use the API directly instead of the chat interface.

Can I use it via the OpenAI API?

Yes. The prompt is plain text — pass it as the prompt parameter to the images endpoint.

What if DALL-E refuses the prompt?

DALL-E 3 has stricter content policies than other models. If a prompt is refused, edit out potentially problematic descriptors and try again — or use Flux / SD instead.

Will it match the source pixel-perfect?

No. Image-to-prompt captures style and subject, not exact pixels. The regenerated image will be a variation.

Can I use the prompt on Microsoft Designer (Bing Image Creator)?

Yes. Microsoft Designer uses DALL-E 3 under the hood, so the same prompt works.

Is there a DALL-E specific aspect ratio parameter?

DALL-E 3 doesn't take aspect ratio in the prompt — you pick it as a separate parameter (1024x1024, 1024x1792, or 1792x1024).
