OpenAI has updated its image generation tool, allowing all ChatGPT users to access it for free. This feature, previously available only to paid users, is now open to everyone.
A New Milestone for ChatGPT
On April 1, 2025, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, confirmed in a post on X that the image generation feature in ChatGPT is now free for all users. This update reflects OpenAI's commitment to making its technologies more accessible.
How the Image Generator Works
Integrated into ChatGPT through the GPT-4o model, this new feature lets users create images by logging into their account and starting a new chat with a description of the desired image. Style, colors, and sizes can be specified for accuracy. If the result isn't satisfactory, the description can be tweaked and retried. Users can also edit existing images.
Diverse Artistic Styles and Capabilities
The tool supports a wide range of artistic styles, including Studio Ghibli, South Park, Minecraft, Lego, watercolor, and rubber hose animation. It's suitable for creating infographics, product mockups, logos, posters, and many other projects.
The new ChatGPT update offers users more opportunities to bring their creative ideas to life at no cost. OpenAI continues to enhance the accessibility of its technologies.
