Free. But limited
ChatGPT 4o’s impressive image generation is now available for free
It’s fantastic for editing images as well as generating new ones
There’s a daily limit for free users which can be quite infuriating
ChatGPT’s viral 4o image generation features are now available to everyone for free, albeit with some limits that can make the new AI tool a little infuriating.
Announced by OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, on X, the new native image generation has taken the world by storm thanks to its impressive ability to create images far better than Dall-E (the previous model used by ChatGPT) ever could.
You might’ve seen the controversy surrounding the image generation tool’s blatant copy of Studio Ghibli-style anime over the last week, but if not we’ve covered the drama at length here.
In this article, I’m going to show you three ways to use ChatGPT 4o’s image generation that aren’t following the anime recreation trend.
Why only three you might ask? Well, unfortunately, the daily limit for free users is only three image generations, so it only felt fitting to limit the ideas just like OpenAI has limited the use of the tool.1. Change the background
ChatGPT’s image generation is very impressive when it comes to replacing the background of your images. In the first example above, I uploaded an image of my French Bulldog, Kermit, and asked 4o to „change the background to the beach.“
Like magic, Kermit was now on the beach, although you can tell there have been slight modifications to his likeness.
