About Ask About Image
Ask About Image lets you pose a question about a photo and get a direct answer from a hosted vision model. Reach for it when you want a specific detail, not a general caption: how many of something is in the frame, what color an object is, or what a sign says. It returns plain text and costs 1 credit per run.

Frequently asked questions
What image formats can I ask about?
PNG, JPEG, and WebP. You supply the image plus your question, and the answer comes back as plain text.
How is this different from Describe Image?
Describe Image gives a general caption with no input from you. Ask About Image answers a specific question you write, so you get the exact detail you're after.
Does the image get uploaded?
Yes. This Pro tool sends both the image and your question to a hosted vision model. Nothing is sent for the free in-browser tools, but they can't answer free-form questions.
Can it always answer correctly?
It handles most everyday questions well, but vision models can be wrong on counting, fine text, or ambiguous scenes. Verify anything you'll rely on.
What does a question cost?
1 credit per question.
