Get the most out of it

02Leverage ChatGPT's conversation feature to iteratively refine images by asking for specific edits and variations rather than rewriting prompts from scratch
03Specify output aspect ratios (1:1, 16:9, or 9:16) and exact pixel dimensions when needed to get images optimized for your intended platform
04Request text rendering explicitly in prompts if you need legible text labels or captions within images—DALL·E 3 handles this better than earlier models
05Start with ChatGPT Plus for interactive creation and refinement before using the API for production at scale
