Question 1

When is DALL·E being retired from ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

30 August 2026. OpenAI is retiring the official DALL·E GPT and advises downloading any images you want to keep before then. Image generation continues in ChatGPT through ChatGPT Images, and user-created GPTs with image generation enabled are unaffected.

Question 2

Can I edit my own photos in ChatGPT, or only generated ones?

Accepted Answer

Both. You can upload an existing image and describe the changes you want, or edit images ChatGPT generated. Editing works either by selecting an area with the selection tool first, or by describing the change directly in the conversation.

Question 3

Is ChatGPT image editing free?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT Images 2.0 is available on all tiers, including free accounts. The "images with thinking" capability is limited to Plus, Pro, and Business plans, with Enterprise and Edu listed as coming soon.

Question 4

How precise is the selection tool?

Accepted Answer

Not fully. OpenAI's own documentation states that highlights are not always precise and edits may extend beyond the selected area. It's directional rather than mask-accurate, so precision work still belongs in a conventional editor.

Question 5

How do I delete a single generated image?

Accepted Answer

You can't delete images individually. Images are removed by deleting the conversation that created them, using the more options menu on web or a long press on mobile. Worth keeping separate conversations for work you may want to remove later.
