Previously, AI image generation was exclusive to paid subscribers under the ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team plans, while free users were limited to generating just three images per day. However, due to the feature’s immense popularity among premium users, OpenAI has now rolled it out to all free-tier accounts.
Sam Altman wrote on X, “ChatGPT image gen now rolled out to all free users.”
Before the announcement, he said he wanted “everyone to use it.” “We will not do anything silly like saying that you can’t use our open model if your service has more than 700 million monthly active users. We want everyone to use it,” he wrote on X
