Best DALL-E 3 Prompts

I’ve only started DALL-E 3 a few weeks ago and still have lots to learn. I love what I’ve been able to create so far and can’t wait for you to try my 10 Best DALL-E 3 prompts!

Free AI Image generation with DALL·E 3

You get 15 free credits per day for fast image generation. Once you’re out of credits, you can still make unlimited images but it can take up to 5 minutes for them to be ready.

Alternatively , you can use DALL-E 3 and all its advanced features by signing up for a paid subscription of ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise. With this version it’s possible to edit images after generation and give direction through chat for changes.

Difference DALL-E 3 and Midjourney

The main difference between DALL·E 3 and Midjourney is the way your prompts are interpreted.

DALL-E 3 follows your prompt instructions more accurately than Midjourney. In the case of Midjourney, many of the keywords in your prompt are often used as suggestions whereas in DALL-E 3 there is a much bigger chance you get the exact result you were after.

DALL-E 3 can accurately generate text. Simply describe what words you want to see and it will be added. Please note that it’s not always the correct spelling.

DALL-E 3 and Midjourney have quite a different aesthetic. I enjoy both and love that we can create different sets with both tools.

For this prompt set, I mainly focused on things Midjourney currently can’t do properly. For example, fairies or mermaids often don’t come out looking quite right but DALL-E 3 can generate them with ease.

Below you can see the difference when using the same prompt in both DALL-E 3 and Midjourney.

You can see that Midjourney can’t accurately generate images of people bathing and will create bizare visuals where the models are anywhere but in the bath tub.

3 Tips to use DALL-E 3

1. Just like with Midjourney, sometimes faces or eyes can appear a bit deformed. If you describe facial features like freckles, eye color, or makeup, this will be improved.
2. When using DALL-E 3 in Bing, you can often get the message your prompt is blocked. I usually just run it again as it seems to be more dependent on the result than the prompt itself. If you keep getting this message, simply remove some words from your prompt to see if that fixes the issue.
3. You currently only have access to your most recent creations. Make sure to save your images and prompts because you can’t view them later.
