ChatGPT Images

The new ChatGPT Images experience is OpenAI’s upgraded image-generation and editing environment built directly into ChatGPT and powered by the GPT‑Image‑1.5 model. It is designed to move image creation from a fun novelty into a practical, high‑quality visual production tool that anyone can use inside a simple chat interface. The model can create images from scratch using text prompts, but it also excels at making precise, localized edits to existing photos while preserving fine details such as lighting, textures, and facial features.​ OpenAI highlights that GPT‑Image‑1.5 generates images up to four times faster than previous versions, making it suitable for workflows where rapid iteration and experimentation matter, such as ad creative testing, social media content, and product mockups. The system aims to better “align with your intent,” meaning it follows nuanced instructions more reliably, especially when users ask for complex compositions, realistic clothing and hairstyles, or subtle style changes that keep the core of the original image intact.​ Alongside the model, OpenAI has introduced a dedicated Images tab in ChatGPT, effectively turning it into a creative studio with preset styles, filters, and popular prompt ideas that help users discover what is possible without needing expert prompt skills. This interface is being rolled out to all ChatGPT users and is also accessible via the API for developers who want to embed GPT‑Image‑1.5 into their own applications.​ Overall, the new ChatGPT Images offering combines a faster, more capable model with a more guided, inspiration‑oriented interface so that creators, marketers, and everyday users can go from idea to polished visuals in just a few conversational steps.
