Openai Dalle 2 - Frontend client

This is a local frontend client that consumes the OpenAI Dalle-2 to generate an image from a prompt. It was built using React and Vite.

Table of Contents

Installation

To run this project, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository locally
  2. Install the dependencies by running yarn
  3. Rename the file .example.env to .env
  4. Open .env and add your OpenAI API key
  5. Run the project locally by running yarn dev

Usage

This project has two pages:

  1. Generate Image: This page allows you to generate a single image based on a prompt. Simply enter your prompt and click on the "Generate" button. The image will be displayed on the screen.

  2. Gallery: This page displays a gallery of all the previously generated images. The images and their corresponding prompts are stored locally using local storage.

PS: Keep in mind that the local storage only stores the URL of the image coming from the OpenAI API. These URLs are signed with a time to live of 1 hour.

But Why?

If you use Dalle on OpenAI labs, after the free tier you will have to pay for credits to generate images.

The minimum amount of credits you can buy is 115 for $15, which will give you 460 images as each credit generates 4 images.

If you use the API directly, you can generate 750 images for $15 as the price is $0.02 per image (1024x1024).

That's a 64% discount!
