DALL·E 2

by OpenAI April 6, 2022

DALL·E 2 is OpenAI’s diffusion based text to image model. It generates high quality images from prompts. It supports inpainting for local edits and outpainting for extended canvases. Developers use it through an API for creative tools, design workflows, and content pipelines.

API Options

Platform-level options for task execution and delivery.

taskType string required value: imageInference: Identifier for the type of task being performed

taskUUID string required UUID v4: UUID v4 identifier for tracking tasks and matching async responses. Must be unique per task.

outputType string default: URL: Image output type.

Allowed values 3 values

outputFormat string default: JPG

Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.

`JPG`: Best for photorealistic images with smaller file sizes (no transparency).
`PNG`: Lossless compression, supports high quality and transparency (alpha channel).
`WEBP`: Modern format providing superior compression and transparency support.

**Transparency**: If you are using features like background removal or LayerDiffuse that require transparency, you must select a format that supports an alpha channel (e.g., `PNG`, `WEBP`, `TIFF`). `JPG` does not support transparency.

Allowed values 3 values

outputQuality integer min: 20 max: 99 default: 95: Compression quality of the output. Higher values preserve quality but increase file size.

webhookURL string URI

Specifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

deliveryMethod string default: sync

Determines how the API delivers task results.

Allowed values 2 values

: Returns complete results directly in the API response.
: Returns an immediate acknowledgment with the task UUID. Poll for results using getResponse.

PLATFORM

uploadEndpoint string URI

Specifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.

Common use cases:

Cloud storage: Upload directly to S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using presigned URLs.
CDN integration: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution.

// S3 presigned URL for secure upload
https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600

// Google Cloud Storage presigned URL
https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789

// Custom storage endpoint
https://storage.example.com/uploads/generated-image.jpg

The content data will be sent as the request body to the specified URL when generation is complete.

safety object

Content safety checking configuration for image generation.

Properties 2 properties

safety » checkContent checkContent boolean default: false: Enable or disable content safety checking. When enabled, defaults to fast mode.

safety » mode mode string default: none

Safety checking mode for image generation.

Allowed values 2 values

: Disables checking.
: Performs a single check.

ttl integer min: 60: Time-to-live (TTL) in seconds for generated content. Only applies when outputType is URL.

includeCost boolean default: false: Include task cost in the response.

numberResults integer min: 1 max: 20 default: 1: Number of results to generate. Each result uses a different seed, producing variations of the same parameters.

Generation Parameters

Core parameters for controlling the generated content.

model string required value: openai:2@2

Identifier of the model to use for generation.
