ChatGPT Free Users Will Have Access to ChatGPT’s Sora AI Image Generator (Daily Limit of 6 Images Per Day) @ OpenAI

2311

Nice deal that everyone now has access to. Used to be paid, costing about $35 a month, but now free to all users.

Note that video generation is still behind a subscription.

By the way, "Sora" is the Arabic word for the word picture…

Enjoy!

        It's very much nerfed for that.

        Well we now know what you do with your spare time.

      • This? Yes, they do at a video level and not just an image.

      • +2

        Yep I'll generate screen shots of fake OB deals and send it to my friends

    • Free, thanks to Open Source (Deep Seek) Nikola Tesla f®ee space energy for all, but the Capitalist stopped the project :(no personal profit from that)

    • Eh-do-ward…

  • This is pretty cool, thanks for the heads up.

        oh that is different AI, i prefer Aoi then

    Now you can become one of those people that sit on twitter (X) all day and spams AI generated images while calling yourself an "artist"!

    More than half the time it's blocked for content moderation or just crashes due to server overload.

      bro what you generating

    Oh this is new? I've had access for the past week and thought it was normal. There's a link to Sora in the sidebar on ChatGPT for me.

    You get 6 prompts per day and it gives max 4 image variants per prompt.
    And it stacks with ChatGPT's 3 images.

    HUKD has gotten a few things wrong:

    1. SORA is Open AI's text to video AI generation. Usage of this isn't free, you need to subscribe to paid plan.

    2. The image generation is GPT-4o https://openai.com/index/introducing-4o-image-generation/
      It's free but it has a daily limit on the number of images you can prompt.
      https://www.theverge.com/news/637542/chatgpt-says-our-gpus-a…

    Used to be paid, costing about $35 a month, but now free to all users.

    Always been free since it was announced, it did not go from paid to free. https://www.theverge.com/openai/635118/chatgpt-sora-ai-image…

    • +1

      The limits only about 5 as well so it's not a fantastic offering. Free is free but so is image generation with co-pilot even if it's lower quality.

      • Gemini on Android is also free for images. There is an image limit per day but it must be pretty high, in casual fartarsing around I've never reached it.

    • +1

      um yeah came to say this.

      there are ai's that have free tier. it's nothing new.

    • Downvoted then.

    This forum's usual ChatCPTs will be unemployed!

    Tried it a few times, the studio ghibli style image is a nice touch.

    Fantastic, more AI generated slop to fill up my feeds

    • -3

      Did you use AI to write this?

  • +2

    What's the difference between using it on the official ChatGPT website? I was under the impression that the limit is still three images per day, regardless of how it's accessed.

  • Thanks this was really useful for me when we did home renovations and needed to visualise different options.

  • +1

    FYI limit 6 creations per day on free account

  • Shimano currently asking ChatGPT "How do I commence a trademark breach against Open AI?"….

    • Errr.. why?

  • It's free in terms of $$ but they still get a huge amount of value based on the public's input into the AI.

    Still, it is an interesting proposition.

  • +1

    Can you create NSFW stuff? Asking for a friend.

    • You would probably want to use a locally-hosted one for generating 'uncensored' content.

    • Been a while since I’ve kept up to date but Flux should do what you want. Search reddit for “ComfyUI”.

    If you’re not paying for the product, you’re the product.

    • +2

      Well I think that much is obvious

      I'd say the general population doesn't really care though - they just want to make funny AI image

  • +4

    You are the newest training model.

    Wanted me to login, there's no way I want to be logged in when I'm generating AI images of jv's mum

  • Can it create artificial friends like this one? Quite popular on Tiktok now and it's video level.

  • I'm curious about this, especially b/c it's had so many likes on this deal.
    Anyone know how this image generator is better than the image generator that just comes with ChatGPT?
    Like, for example, what can it do that just the usual image making prompts can't do?

    • Sora is primarily designed for AI video generation, but it's dedicated text-to-image/video focus means it will be smarter at working out what you want and producing a better result from that, then from the AI-for-the-masses ChatGPT which is much more generalised.

    • Sora isn't free.

      what can it do that just the usual image making prompts can't do?

      using image generation in chatgpt is different because you can ask it to generate the image again, but with specific changes e.g. make the cat blue it will do that and keep everything else the same if you ask it to. you can also copy then paste previous images it generated and ask the same thing, or paste any image and ask it to modify recreate etc.

  • Free users can only generate one quarter of a picture each time

  • I'm going to one-shot boomers on Facebook with sad engagement/like bait

    • An EV fire that turns out to be a petrol car?

  • Anyone know how to get a discount on their Pro plan? I’ve heard they’re bringing our Sora only plans without chat gpt but no ETA

  • +1

    If you're googling to find out more about this product make sure you search for Sora AI and NOT Sora AOI.

    • yeah man I know Sora AOI is hotter than Sora AI. Too bad you cannot find uncensored versions. Ask Sora AI to unblur the real Sora AOI to satisfy your pleasures!

    • AOI is like in my bookmarks, no need to search.
      Together with Mirai 🤣

  • anyone in corporate IT know what account admins are capable of monitoring with a chatgpt pro business plan? I'm on a team, I most certainly won't do anything dodgy on my work chatgpt account, but i'm still curious how much of it they can monitor, like how much privacy do i get?

  • -1

    I hope people look into how bad ChatGPT is for the environment and how much water is being wasted to cool days centres so that people can make stupid images and ask questions you can google.

  • That's great news, I think it used to be 3 image generations per day. Now I can continue to transform more of my family photos into Studio Ghibli images.

  • Is that 6 images per day or 24h? I created 6 Yerstaday so I tried today and it says I reached the limit Yerstaday xD

    Chat GPT tends to disagree with you providing this response “GPT-4o image generation (sometimes mis-reported as “Sora image generator”)” and

    Why the “Sora is free!” rumour keeps popping up
    1. Headline drift. Several blogs conflated the March-2025 rollout of GPT-4o’s image generator to free users with Sora itself. Example: the May 8 article claiming “Sora AI image generator is now free” is really describing GPT-4o images, not the video tool.

    Why it’s misleading (or just wrong):
    1. Sora is not an image generator.
    Sora is strictly a video generation model. It doesn’t create still images. The actual image generation model used in ChatGPT is part of DALL·E 3, and recently integrated into GPT-4o.
    2. The “free” part refers to GPT-4o’s image tool, not Sora.
    As of May 2025, free-tier ChatGPT users get limited access to GPT-4o, which includes image generation via DALL·E—but not Sora video generation.

    ok OP sorry I think I misunderstood your post and assumed it was what I already was experiencing on the chatgpt app. I was generating images for free (3 per day?) by asking chatgpt to do it.
    on the app I never saw the "Sora" option which you can see on desktop browser.

    I never signed up to Sora because up until recently it was paid or nothing.
    now clicking on Sora when logged into chatgpt free account did auto sign me into Sora and I was able to get 6 free images.

    now I understand this is what you meant. it's valid.
