OpenAI appears to be rolling out its native image generation feature to free ChatGPT users, allowing them to create Studio Ghibli-style AI artwork with ease. While OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman have yet to make an official announcement, multiple free-tier users have reported success in generating AI images without any issues.
How to Ghiblify Your Images Using ChatGPT
Users can now transform their photos into anime-style artwork using ChatGPT’s image generation tool. Here’s how:
1️⃣ Visit the ChatGPT website or app and log in.
2️⃣ Upload an image by clicking the ‘+’ sign at the bottom left corner.
3️⃣ Enter a prompt like “Ghiblify this” or “Turn this image into a Studio Ghibli theme.”
4️⃣ Download the generated image once it’s ready.
ChatGPT Image Generation Limits for Free Users
Initially, OpenAI rolled out image generation to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users on March 26. However, due to overwhelming demand, the company imposed usage restrictions for both free and paid users. Altman even joked that the heavy traffic was “melting” OpenAI’s GPUs.
While OpenAI hasn’t officially disclosed the image generation limit for free users, some have reported encountering a cap after multiple generations. Upgrading to ChatGPT Plus offers higher limits.
This rollout marks a big step in making AI-powered creativity accessible to a wider audience. Have you tried creating Ghibli-style images with ChatGPT yet? Let us know your experience! 🎨✨
