OpenAI as of late September 2022 has granted access to its DALL-E2 text-to-art platform to everyone. Go here to sign up for your free account.

Previously access to DALL-E2 was restricted and those who wanted access had to sign on to a waitlist and then wait to be invited. I had been on a waitlist for months and was never invited. Now we all can access DALL-E by signing up.

I found this out online. You would think OpenAI may have emailed the people on their DALL-E waiting list that it opened up the platform to the public, but I wasn’t contacted. Maybe my email got lost.

Free credits to start

As with most AI platforms, you are given a few credits to try the software out before being asked to purchase access. DALL-E is not different. You’ll receive 50 free credits when you first sign up. After that, you’ll receive 15 free credits every 30 days.
