Start a fresh chat<\/h3>\n<p>Long threads sometimes carry corrupted context that trips the image pipeline.

Simplify or reword your prompt<\/h3>\n<p>Remove references to real public figures, copyrighted characters, brand logos, or graphic content. Vague or heavily layered prompts (many subjects, styles, and instructions at once) also fail more often \u2014 break complex requests into simpler ones.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-size: 21px; margin: 22px 0 10px 0;\">3. Switch models if you have access to more than one<\/h3>\n<p>If your account can toggle between models, try switching (for example, from a reasoning-focused model to a standard GPT model with native image support) and resend the request.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-size: 21px; margin: 22px 0 10px 0;\">4. Clear browser cache or use the app<\/h3>\n<p>On the web, clear cookies\/cache for chatgpt.com or try an incognito window. On mobile, force-close and reopen the ChatGPT app, or update it if an update is pending.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-size: 21px; margin: 22px 0 10px 0;\">5. Check your usage limits<\/h3>\n<p>Free-tier accounts have a capped number of image generations per day. Wait for the limit to reset, or check your plan&#8217;s current allowance in Settings.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #b8860b; font-size: 21px; margin: 22px 0 10px 0;\">6. Retry after a short wait<\/h3>\n<p>If none of the above apply, this is very likely transient server load.
