The error message "We experienced an error when generating images" can occur for several common reasons and has some straightforward fixes:
- Clear the app cache/data: On mobile or app platforms, clearing the cache or all app data for ChatGPT can fix the error by resetting temporary corrupt data.
- Check your internet connection: A poor or unstable network can interrupt the image generation request.
- Image generation limits: If you are a free user, ChatGPT restricts the number of images you can generate. Waiting 10-15 minutes or upgrading to Plus (which has unlimited generation) helps.
- Restart the app or browser: Refreshing or reopening ChatGPT can resolve temporary glitches.
- Input prompt quality: Sometimes vague or conflicting prompts cause the generator to fail. Simplifying or clarifying the request helps.
These actions collectively address most cases of the error and restore image generation functionality quickly.
Further technical issues like model incompatibility, sampler choice, or seed usage usually cause poor image quality rather than generation failure itself.
