ChatGPT can now turn your photos into GIFs — and free users get the upgrade too

OpenAI has recently rolled out an upgraded version of its image-generation feature in ChatGPT. Just two months ago, the chatbot introduced ChatGPT Images 2.5, which delivered faster photo generation, improved image details, better editing tools, and enhanced sharing capabilities. Now, in November 2022, ChatGPT Images has reached its 2.6 phase, with the most exciting addition being the ability to turn any photo or prompt into a GIF.

This upgraded feature allows users to adjust the speed of the animation, edit individual frames, and share the GIF across various social media platforms. The latest ChatGPT Images update is now accessible to all ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, and Codex users on desktop, mobile, and web applications.

Some fun prompts to try with ChatGPT Images 2.6 include turning yourself into a tiny chibi version of yourself doing an enthusiastic victory dance, creating a looping GIF of yourself in a 90s anime style, or generating a GIF of your pet doing an absurd victory dance. You can also turn your doodle into a polished character, build a personalized birthday GIF, or even create a GIF of a doodle coming to life.

As OpenAI continues to rapidly advance ChatGPT's image-generation capabilities, it's clear that the potential for creative and entertaining content is growing at an exponential rate.
