ChatGPT Image Generator is Down & Not Working for Some Users, OpenAI Confirms

If you’re wondering whether ChatGPT’s image generator is down or really not working, there’s a reason behind it. OpenAI has acknowledged an ongoing issue that’s causing image generation failures for some users. The company is already investigating the incident. A fix is currently being worked on.

According to OpenAI’s official status page, the problem specifically affects ChatGPT image generation. Users attempting to create AI-generated images may receive failed requests instead of completed results. The incident has been marked as identified, meaning engineers are already aware of the underlying issue.

OpenAI says it is working to reduce the number of errors while continuing its investigation. The company hasn’t shared what caused the disruption. It also hasn’t provided an estimated timeframe for when image generation will return to normal for everyone.

OpenAI is actively working on a fix

The current incident appears to be limited to image generation. Regular ChatGPT conversations and other features may continue working normally for most users. Those trying to generate images, however, could still encounter intermittent failures until the issue is resolved.

That being said, there’s little users can do to resolve this problem themselves. Since OpenAI has already confirmed the issue, the fix will come from the company’s servers rather than local troubleshooting. Restarting the app or switching devices is unlikely to make much difference while the incident remains active.
