Introduction

Learn how to generate images using AI inside your app. The OpenAI Image Generation integration allows your app to create high-quality images from text descriptions using advanced models such as DALL·E and GPT Image. This enables you to build features that generate visuals instantly based on user input. This integration is ideal for creating avatars, illustrations, marketing assets, and product visualizations without requiring design tools or image libraries.

​
What You Can Build

With OpenAI Image Generation enabled, your app can support features such as:
  • Avatar Creation – Generate profile pictures or character avatars from user descriptions.
  • Product Visualization – Create images of products based on text input before they are built or photographed.
  • Marketing Assets – Generate visuals for ads, banners, or social media content.
  • Illustrations – Produce custom illustrations for stories, blogs, or educational content.
  • Creative Tools – Allow users to experiment with image generation for design and creativity.

​
How It Works

When the OpenAI Image Generation integration is enabled, your app sends a text prompt describing the desired image to OpenAI’s image models. Your app can:
  • Generate images from user-provided text prompts
  • Create multiple variations of an image
  • Customize styles, themes, and compositions
  • Display generated visuals instantly within the app
This allows you to build visual experiences without needing manual design or asset creation. Because image generation is handled by OpenAI models, you can focus on how images are used within your app.

​
Example Prompts

You can use prompts like these when building your app: Add an avatar generator Add an avatar creator to my app that generates a profile picture from the user’s text description using DALL·E. Add a product visualizer Add an image generator to my app where users describe a product and see a visualization using OpenAI. These prompts help you quickly implement AI-powered image generation features.

​
Common Use Cases

Developers commonly use the OpenAI Image Generation integration for:
  • Avatar and profile creation apps
  • E-commerce visualization tools
  • Marketing and content platforms
  • Storytelling and illustration apps
  • Creative design tools
This integration is especially useful when you want to generate visuals dynamically based on user input.

​
Best Practices

When implementing image generation features, consider the following:
  • Provide clear and descriptive prompts for better results
  • Allow users to regenerate or refine images
  • Offer multiple style options if needed
  • Optimize image loading and display performance
  • Ensure generated images align with your app’s design and purpose
