The generative AI application that allows users to create new images using natural language descriptions is DALL·E , such as DALL·E 2 and the more recent DALL·E 3.

What DALL·E does

DALL·E takes a text prompt (for example, “a watercolor painting of a cat flying over a city at night”) and generates one or more novel images that match the description.

It belongs to a class of tools often called text‑to‑image generators, which learned from large image–text datasets to map language to visual concepts.

Other popular text‑to‑image tools

While the direct answer to “which application” in many learning and quiz contexts is DALL·E, there are several widely used alternatives that do the same type of thing:

  • Stable Diffusion – an open model that lets users and developers generate photorealistic images from text prompts, and is often embedded inside many apps and websites.
  • Midjourney – a popular creative image generator that runs primarily via a chat‑style interface and focuses on artistic, stylized outputs.
  • Imagine with Meta AI – a simpler web interface for typing prompts and getting multiple generated images back.

All of these are generative AI tools that create new images from natural‑language descriptions, but DALL·E is the canonical answer for the specific question as it is frequently cited in educational material about text‑to‑image applications.
