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

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.

In this first phase of the beta, users can buy additional DALL·E credits in 115-credit increments (460 imagesA) 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.”
