ChatGPT can now make animated GIFs from a prompt or a photo, with speed and frame editing

The Verge· 4 Nov

The Verge reports that ChatGPT can create GIFs using a prompt or an uploaded photo, as part of the rollout of OpenAI's Images 2.6 model. Users can adjust the animation speed, edit individual frames and share the result. Before this, ChatGPT could not generate a GIF natively in one step. OpenAI's example is a prompt asking for a GIF of a cat dancing.

  • Open ChatGPT and try it on a real task, such as a short animated logo or a product photo with a small movement, and check every frame before you post it.
  • If you sell online, remember that a generated GIF of a product is not a photo of the real item, so label it clearly.
