ChatGPT Free Users Can Now Create Ghibli-Style Images – Step-by-Step Guide

Create Ghibli-Style Images: After a brief delay, OpenAI finally seems to be rolling out ChatGPT's native image generation feature to free users.

While OpenAI or its CEO Sam Altman have yet to officially announce whether the feature has been rolled out to free users, we have tried to 'Ghiblify' a few images using several free ChatGPT accounts where the feature worked without a glitch.

The internet is flooded with memes, scenes and photographs in the Studio Ghibli style through ChatGPT's new AI feature. Netizens, business establishments, influencers, political parties, and leaders are trying out this trend.

The sudden rise in trend comes after OpenAI's ChatGPT-4o rolled out a new feature that lets users not just generate images but also transform their pictures into Japanese anime style.

However, as free users didn't have access to this feature, they had to use alternatives such as xAI's Grok chatbot or Gemini, which did the job, but the resulting images weren't as detailed as the OpenAI model.

ChatGPT image generation limit for free users:

While OpenAI did not talk about a limit on native image generation during the rollout, the company later added restrictions on image generation for paid as well as free users owing to the excessive demand which CEO Sam Altman said was ‘melting’ their GPUs.

As of OpenAI's last update on X (formerly Twitter), ChatGPT free users will be entitled for up to three image generations per day.

Creating Ghibli-style AI images is now easier than ever with ChatGPT’s free image generation feature. By refining your prompts and experimenting with different styles, you can produce breathtaking visuals that capture the essence of Studio Ghibli’s magic.
