OpenAI DALL·E 3 Node

Learn how to use the OpenAI DALL·E 3 Partner node to generate images in ComfyUI

OpenAI DALL·E 3 is part of the ComfyUI Partner Nodes series, allowing users to generate images through OpenAI’s DALL·E 3 model. This node supports text-to-image generation functionality.

Node Overview

DALL·E 3 is OpenAI’s latest image generation model, capable of creating detailed and high-quality images based on text prompts. Through this node in ComfyUI, you can directly access DALL·E 3’s generation capabilities without leaving the ComfyUI interface.

The OpenAI DALL·E 3 node generates images synchronously through OpenAI’s image generation API. It receives text prompts and returns images that match the description.

To use the API nodes, you need to ensure that you are logged in properly and using a permitted network environment. Please refer to the API Nodes Overview section of the documentation to understand the specific requirements for using the API nodes.

Portable or self deployed users

Make sure your ComfyUI is updated.

• Download ComfyUI
• Update Guide

Workflows in this guide can be found in the Workflow Templates. If you can’t find them in the template, your ComfyUI may be outdated. (Desktop version’s update will delay sometime)

If nodes are missing when loading a workflow, possible reasons:

1. You are not using the latest ComfyUI version (Nightly version)
2. Some nodes failed to import at startup

Desktop or Cloud users

• The Desktop is base on ComfyUI stable release, it will auto-update when there is a new Desktop stable release available.
• Cloud will update after ComfyUI stable release.

So, if you find any core node missing in this document, it might be because the new core nodes have not yet been released in the latest stable version. Please wait for the next stable release.

FAQs

Why can't I find the API nodes?

Please update your ComfyUI to the latest version (the latest commit or the latest desktop version). We may add more API support in the future, and the corresponding nodes will be updated, so please keep your ComfyUI up to date.

Please note that you need to distinguish between the nightly version and the release version. In some cases, the latest release version may not be updated in time compared to the nightly version. Since we are still iterating quickly, please ensure you are using the latest version when you cannot find the corresponding node.

Why can't I use / log in to the API Nodes?

API access requires that your current request is based on a secure network environment. The current requirements for API access are as follows:

• The local network only allows access from 127.0.0.1 or localhost, which may mean that you cannot use the API Nodes in a ComfyUI service started with the --listen parameter in a LAN environment.
• Able to access our API service normally (a proxy service may be required in some regions).
• Your account does not have enough credits.

Why can't I use API node even after logging in, or why does it keep asking me to log in while using?

• Currently, only 127.0.0.1 or localhost access is supported.
• Ensure your account has enough credits.

Can API Nodes be used for free?

API Nodes require credits for API calls to closed-source models, so they do not support free usage.

How to purchase credits?

Please refer to the following documentation:

1. Comfy Account: Find the User section in the settings menu to log in.
2. Credits: After logging in, the settings interface will show the credits menu. You can purchase credits in Settings → Credits. We use a prepaid system, so there will be no unexpected charges.
3. Complete the payment through Stripe.
4. Check if the credits have been updated. If not, try restarting or refreshing the page.

Are unused credits refundable?

Currently, we do not support refunds for credits. If you believe there is an error resulting in unused balance due to technical issues, please contact support.

Can credits go negative?

Credits are not intended to be used as a negative balance or credit line. However, due to race conditions where partner nodes don’t always report costs before execution, a single execution may consume more credits than your remaining balance and temporarily result in a negative balance after completion. When your balance is negative, you will not be able to run Partner Nodes until you top up and restore a positive balance. Please ensure you have enough credits before making API calls.

Where can I check usage and expenses?

Please visit the Credits menu after logging in to check the corresponding credits.

Is it possible to use my own API Key?

Currently, the API Nodes are still in the testing phase and do not support this feature yet, but we have considered adding it.

Do credits expire?

Yes, the expiration depends on the type of credits:

• Monthly credits: Expire at the end of your billing period
• Top-up credits: Expire 1 year from the date of purchase

Can credits be transferred or shared?

No, your credits cannot be transferred to other users and are limited to the currently logged-in account, but we do not restrict the number of devices that can log in.

Can I use the same account on different devices?

We do not limit the number of devices that can log in; you can use your account anywhere you want.

How can I request for my account or information to be deleted??

Email a request to [e-mail] and we will delete your information
