Quickstart: Generate images with Azure OpenAI Service
Note
The image generation API creates an image from a text prompt. It does not edit or create variations from existing images.
Use this guide to get started generating images with Azure OpenAI in your browser with Azure AI Foundry.
Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription. Create one for free.
- An Azure OpenAI resource created in a supported region. See Region availability. For more information, see Create a resource and deploy a model with Azure OpenAI.
Go to Azure AI Foundry
Browse to Azure AI Foundry and sign in with the credentials associated with your Azure OpenAI resource. During or after the sign-in workflow, select the appropriate directory, Azure subscription, and Azure OpenAI resource.
From the Azure AI Foundry landing page, create or select a new project. Navigate to the Models + endpoints page on the left nav. Select Deploy model and then choose one of the DALL-E models from the list. Complete the deployment process.
On the model's page, select Open in playground.
Try out image generation
Start exploring Azure OpenAI capabilities with a no-code approach through the Images playground. Enter your image prompt into the text box and select Generate. When the AI-generated image is ready, it appears on the page.
Note
The image generation APIs come with a content moderation filter. If Azure OpenAI recognizes your prompt as harmful content, it doesn't return a generated image. For more information, see Content filtering.
In the Images playground, you can also view Python and cURL code samples, which are prefilled according to your settings. Select View code near the top of the page. You can use this code to write an application that completes the same task.
Clean up resources
If you want to clean up and remove an Azure OpenAI resource, you can delete the resource or resource group. Deleting the resource group also deletes any other resources associated with it.
Next steps
- Explore the image generation APIs in more depth with the DALL-E how-to guide.
- Try examples in the Azure OpenAI Samples GitHub repository.
- See the API reference
Use this guide to get started calling the Azure OpenAI Service image generation REST APIs by using Python.
Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription. Create one for free.
- Python 3.8 or later version.
- The following Python libraries installed:
os
,requests
,json
. - An Azure OpenAI resource created in a supported region. See Region availability.
- Then, you need to deploy a
dalle3
model with your Azure resource. For more information, see Create a resource and deploy a model with Azure OpenAI.
Setup
Retrieve key and endpoint
To successfully call the Azure OpenAI APIs, you need the following information about your Azure OpenAI resource:
Variable | Name | Value |
---|---|---|
Endpoint | api_base |
The endpoint value is located under Keys and Endpoint for your resource in the Azure portal. You can also find the endpoint via the Deployments page in Azure AI Foundry portal. An example endpoint is: https://docs-test-001.openai.azure.com/ . |
Key | api_key |
The key value is also located under Keys and Endpoint for your resource in the Azure portal. Azure generates two keys for your resource. You can use either value. |
Go to your resource in the Azure portal. On the navigation pane, select Keys and Endpoint under Resource Management. Copy the Endpoint value and an access key value. You can use either the KEY 1 or KEY 2 value. Always having two keys allows you to securely rotate and regenerate keys without causing a service disruption.
Environment variables
Create and assign persistent environment variables for your key and endpoint.
Important
If you use an API key, store it securely somewhere else, such as in Azure Key Vault. Don't include the API key directly in your code, and never post it publicly.
For more information about AI services security, see Authenticate requests to Azure AI services.
setx AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY_VALUE_HERE"
setx AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_ENDPOINT_HERE"
Create a new Python application
Create a new Python file named quickstart.py. Open the new file in your preferred editor or IDE.
Replace the contents of quickstart.py with the following code. Change the value of
prompt
to your preferred text.You also need to replace
<dalle3>
in the URL with the deployment name you chose when you deployed the DALL-E 3 model. Entering the model name will result in an error unless you chose a deployment name that is identical to the underlying model name. If you encounter an error, double check to make sure that you don't have a doubling of the/
at the separation between your endpoint and/openai/deployments
.import requests import time import os api_base = os.environ['AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT'] # Enter your endpoint here api_key = os.environ['AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY'] # Enter your API key here api_version = '2024-02-01' url = f"{api_base}/openai/deployments/<dalle3>/images/generations?api-version={api_version}" headers= { "api-key": api_key, "Content-Type": "application/json" } body = { # Enter your prompt text here "prompt": "A multi-colored umbrella on the beach, disposable camera", "size": "1024x1024", # supported values are “1792x1024”, “1024x1024” and “1024x1792” "n": 1, #The number of images to generate. Only n=1 is supported for DALL-E 3. "quality": "hd", # Options are “hd” and “standard”; defaults to standard "style": "vivid" # Options are “natural” and “vivid”; defaults to “vivid” } submission = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=body) image_url = submission.json()['data'][0]['url'] print(image_url)
The script makes a synchronous image generation API call.
Important
Remember to remove the key from your code when you're done, and never post your key publicly. For production, use a secure way of storing and accessing your credentials. For more information, see Azure Key Vault.
Run the application with the
python
command:python quickstart.py
Wait a few moments to get the response.
Output
The output from a successful image generation API call looks like the following example. The url
field contains a URL where you can download the generated image. The URL stays active for 24 hours.
{
"created": 1698116662,
"data": [
{
"url": "<URL_to_generated_image>",
"revised_prompt": "<prompt_that_was_used>"
}
]
}
The image generation APIs come with a content moderation filter. If the service recognizes your prompt as harmful content, it doesn't generate an image. For more information, see Content filtering. For examples of error responses, see the DALL-E how-to guide.
The system returns an operation status of Failed
and the error.code
value in the message is set to contentFilter
. Here's an example:
{
"created": 1698435368,
"error":
{
"code": "contentFilter",
"message": "Your task failed as a result of our safety system."
}
}
It's also possible that the generated image itself is filtered. In this case, the error message is set to Generated image was filtered as a result of our safety system.
. Here's an example:
{
"created": 1698435368,
"error":
{
"code": "contentFilter",
"message": "Generated image was filtered as a result of our safety system."
}
}
Clean up resources
If you want to clean up and remove an Azure OpenAI resource, you can delete the resource or resource group. Deleting the resource group also deletes any other resources associated with it.

Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription - Create one for free
- LTS versions of Node.js
- TypeScript
- Azure CLI used for passwordless authentication in a local development environment, create the necessary context by signing in with the Azure CLI.
- An Azure OpenAI resource created in a supported region (see Region availability). For more information, see Create a resource and deploy a model with Azure OpenAI.
Setup
Retrieve key and endpoint
To successfully make a call against Azure OpenAI, you need an endpoint and a key.
Variable name | Value |
---|---|
ENDPOINT |
The service endpoint can be found in the Keys & Endpoint section when examining your resource from the Azure portal. Alternatively, you can find the endpoint via the Deployments page in Azure AI Foundry portal. An example endpoint is: https://docs-test-001.openai.azure.com/ . |
API-KEY |
This value can be found in the Keys & Endpoint section when examining your resource from the Azure portal. You can use either KEY1 or KEY2 . |
Go to your resource in the Azure portal. The Keys & Endpoint section can be found in the Resource Management section. Copy your endpoint and access key as you'll need both for authenticating your API calls. You can use either KEY1
or KEY2
. Always having two keys allows you to securely rotate and regenerate keys without causing a service disruption.
Environment variables
Create and assign persistent environment variables for your key and endpoint.
Important
If you use an API key, store it securely somewhere else, such as in Azure Key Vault. Don't include the API key directly in your code, and never post it publicly.
For more information about AI services security, see Authenticate requests to Azure AI services.
setx AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY_VALUE_HERE"
setx AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_ENDPOINT_HERE"
Create a Node application
In a console window (such as cmd, PowerShell, or Bash), create a new directory for your app, and navigate to it. Then run the npm init
command to create a node application with a package.json file.
npm init
Install the client library
Install the client libraries with:
npm install openai @azure/identity
Your app's package.json file will be updated with the dependencies.
Generate images with DALL-E
Create a new file named ImageGeneration.ts and open it in your preferred code editor. Copy the following code into the ImageGeneration.ts file:
import { AzureOpenAI } from "openai";
import {
DefaultAzureCredential,
getBearerTokenProvider
} from "@azure/identity";
// You will need to set these environment variables or edit the following values
const endpoint = process.env["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"];
// Required Azure OpenAI deployment name and API version
const apiVersion = "2024-07-01";
const deploymentName = "dall-e-3";
// keyless authentication
const credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
const scope = "https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default";
const azureADTokenProvider = getBearerTokenProvider(credential, scope);
function getClient(): AzureOpenAI {
return new AzureOpenAI({
endpoint,
azureADTokenProvider,
apiVersion,
deployment: deploymentName,
});
}
async function main() {
console.log("== Image Generation ==");
const client = getClient();
const results = await client.images.generate({
prompt,
size: "1024x1024",
n: numberOfImagesToGenerate,
model: "",
style: "vivid", // or "natural"
});
for (const image of results.data) {
console.log(`Image generation result URL: ${image.url}`);
}
}
main().catch((err) => {
console.error("The sample encountered an error:", err);
});
Build the application with the following command:
tsc
Run the application with the following command:
node ImageGeneration.js
Output
The URL of the generated image is printed to the console.

Note
The image generation APIs come with a content moderation filter. If the service recognizes your prompt as harmful content, it won't return a generated image. For more information, see the content filter article.
Clean up resources
If you want to clean up and remove an Azure OpenAI resource, you can delete the resource. Before deleting the resource, you must first delete any deployed models.
Next steps

Note
The image generation APIs come with a content moderation filter. If the service recognizes your prompt as harmful content, it won't return a generated image. For more information, see the content filter article.
Clean up resources
If you want to clean up and remove an Azure OpenAI resource, you can delete the resource or resource group. Deleting the resource group also deletes any other resources associated with it.
Next steps
- Explore the image generation APIs in more depth with the DALL-E how-to guide.
- For more examples check out the Azure OpenAI Samples GitHub repository.
Use this guide to get started calling the Azure OpenAI Service image generation APIs with PowerShell.
Note
The image generation API creates an image from a text prompt. It doesn't edit or create variations of existing images.
Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription. Create one for free.
- For this task, the latest version of PowerShell 7 is recommended because the examples use new features not available in Windows PowerShell 5.1.
- An Azure OpenAI resource created in a supported region (see Region availability). For more information, see Create a resource and deploy a model with Azure OpenAI.

Generate images with DALL-E 2
Create a new PowerShell file named quickstart.ps1. Open the new file in your preferred editor or IDE.
Replace the contents of quickstart.ps1 with the following code. Enter your endpoint URL and key in the appropriate fields. Change the value of
prompt
to your preferred text.# Azure OpenAI metadata variables $openai = @{ api_key = $Env:AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY api_base = $Env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT # your endpoint should look like the following https://YOUR_RESOURCE_NAME.openai.azure.com/ api_version = '2023-06-01-preview' # this may change in the future } # Text to describe image $prompt = 'A painting of a dog' # Header for authentication $headers = [ordered]@{ 'api-key' = $openai.api_key } # Adjust these values to fine-tune completions $body = [ordered]@{ prompt = $prompt size = '1024x1024' n = 1 } | ConvertTo-Json # Call the API to generate the image and retrieve the response $url = "$($openai.api_base)/openai/images/generations:submit?api-version=$($openai.api_version)" $submission = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers $headers -Body $body -Method Post -ContentType 'application/json' -ResponseHeadersVariable submissionHeaders $operation_location = $submissionHeaders['operation-location'][0] $status = '' while ($status -ne 'succeeded') { Start-Sleep -Seconds 1 $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $operation_location -Headers $headers $status = $response.status } # Set the directory for the stored image $image_dir = Join-Path -Path $pwd -ChildPath 'images' # If the directory doesn't exist, create it if (-not(Resolve-Path $image_dir -ErrorAction Ignore)) { New-Item -Path $image_dir -ItemType Directory } # Initialize the image path (note the filetype should be png) $image_path = Join-Path -Path $image_dir -ChildPath 'generated_image.png' # Retrieve the generated image $image_url = $response.result.data[0].url # extract image URL from response $generated_image = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $image_url -OutFile $image_path # download the image return $image_path
Important
For production, use a secure way of storing and accessing your credentials like The PowerShell Secret Management with Azure Key Vault. For more information about credential security, see the Azure AI services security article.
Run the script using PowerShell:
./quickstart.ps1
The script loops until the generated image is ready.
Output
PowerShell requests the image from Azure OpenAI and stores the output image in the generated_image.png file in your specified directory. For convenience, the full path for the file is returned at the end of the script.
The image generation APIs come with a content moderation filter. If the service recognizes your prompt as harmful content, it doesn't generate an image. For more information, see Content filtering.
Clean up resources
If you want to clean up and remove an Azure OpenAI resource, you can delete the resource or resource group. Deleting the resource group also deletes any other resources associated with it.
