# Guide to Using Text-to-Image Models in LobeChat

LobeChat supports text-to-image generation through a plugin mechanism. Currently, LobeChat comes with the built-in DALL-E plugin, which allows users to generate images using OpenAI's DALL-E model. Additionally, users can also install the official Midjourney plugin to utilize the Midjourney text-to-image feature.

## DALL-E Model

If you have configured the OpenAI API, you can enable the DALL-E plugin directly in the assistant interface and input prompts in the conversation for AI to generate images for you.

If the DALL-E plugin is not available, please check if the OpenAI API key has been correctly configured.

## Midjourney Model

LobeChat also offers the Midjourney plugin, which generates images by calling the Midjourney API. Please install the Midjourney plugin in the plugin store beforehand.
