DALL·E API
Build DALL·E directly into your apps to generate and edit novel images and art. Our image models offer three tiers of resolution for flexibility.
| Resolution | Price |
| 1024×1024 | $0.020 / image |
| 512×512 | $0.018 / image |
| 256×256 | $0.016 / image |
Language models
Base models
Multiple models, each with different capabilities and price points. Ada is the fastest model, while Davinci is the most powerful. Prices are per 1,000 tokens. You can think of tokens as pieces of words, where 1,000 tokens is about 750 words. This paragraph is 35 tokens.

Fine-tuned models
Create your own custom models by fine-tuning our base models with your training data. Once you fine-tune a model, you’ll be billed only for the tokens you use in requests to that model.
| Model | Training | Usage |
| Ada | $0.0004 / 1K tokens | $0.0016 / 1K tokens |
| Babbage | $0.0006 / 1K tokens | $0.0024 / 1K tokens |
| Curie | $0.0030 / 1K tokens | $0.0120 / 1K tokens |
| Davinci | $0.0300 / 1K tokens | $0.1200 / 1K tokens |
Embedding models
Build advanced search, clustering, topic modeling, and classification functionality with our embeddings offering.

Usage quotas
When you sign up, you’ll be granted an initial spend limit, or quota, and we’ll increase that limit over time as you build a track record with your application. If you need more tokens, you can always request a quota increase.
