ChatGPT’s new Ghibli-style AI image creation feature is gaining popularity worldwide.
This tool transforms regular photos into stunning animated-style images inspired by Studio Ghibli.
Many users are trying this feature and sharing their creations on social media. The best part? OpenAI has now made this feature available for free users as well.
Availability for Free Users
Although OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, have not officially confirmed this rollout for free users, many people with free ChatGPT accounts are already using it without any issues.
Initially, this feature was launched on March 26 and was only available to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users.
How to Create a Ghibli-Style Image on ChatGPT
Follow these simple steps to generate a Ghibli-style image using ChatGPT:
Open ChatGPT – Visit the ChatGPT website or mobile app.
