A new ChatGPT update has made the internet a fun place for Studio Ghibli fans to be creative. After the company introduced advanced image generation tools, users began transforming their photos into Ghibli inspired artwork. Subscribers can upload images and request their photos to be turned into the iconic animation style of Hayao Miyazaki’s films. Within hours of its release, the trend took over social media and many turned famous pop culture moments into Ghibli style art, while others are simply creating pictures of their loved ones, pets and friends. Countless users are showing off their creative works and here are a few impressive examples.

As per the website, “GPT‑4o image generation excels at accurately rendering text, precisely following prompts, and leveraging 4o’s inherent knowledge base and chat context—including transforming uploaded images or using them as visual inspiration. These capabilities make it easier to create exactly the image you envision, helping you communicate more effectively through visuals and advancing image generation into a practical tool with precision and power."

Here are some of the ChatGPT-generated images:

To transform your photos into Studio Ghibli style art using ChatGPT’s latest image generation feature, start by logging into your account and select the GPT-4o model. Then upload your desired photo and in the text area, type, “Please convert this image into Studio Ghibli style animation," or similar prompt. After submitting, the AI will process your request and, within moments, it’ll provide a transformed image that looks like the aesthetic characters of Studio Ghibli films.

As of now, the studio has not yet commented on ChatGPT’s new feature. According to NBC News, an OpenAI representative explained that the company’s main aim is to allow users as much freedom as possible to be creative. While OpenAI prevents its tool from mimicking the work of living artists, it does allow users to create images in the style of well known studios. The company also mentioned that they are always learning from how people use the feature and will continue to improve their policies based on feedback.
