How to use Ghibli Style Image Generator for free?
This feature is not available in the GPT-3.5 version of ChatGPT, but by using GPT-4o, users can access this feature. GPT-4o includes image generation features, with the help of which users can convert photos into animation style. With the help of the free trial period, users can create photos using ChatGPT Plus. But this operation is available only for a limited time.
How to create Ghibli-style images using ChatGPT’s Studio ?

The Studio Ghibli-style transformations are available to users on the Plus, Pro, Team, and Free subscription tiers.
OpenAI has officially launched GPT-4o-powered image generation for ChatGPT users, making it the default image creator for Plus, Pro, Team, and Free, as announced during the launch. Additionally, the feature is also available in OpenAI’s video model, Sora.
OpenAI explains that the new model enables customization—users can specify details like aspect ratio, hex code colors, and transparent backgrounds through simple text prompts. However, due to the model’s ability to generate more detailed images, rendering times can take up to a minute.
So, all you have to do is open ChatGPT and click on the three dots on the prompt bar. A drawer will open, giving you two options: Image and Canvas. Click on the image and add your prompt to it.
ChatGPT users, along with AI, are experimenting with specific prompts to generate stunning Studio Ghibli-style images. Here are some popular prompts used:
“Show me in Studio Ghibli style.”
“What would I look like as a Ghibli character?”
“Transform photos into Studio Ghibli-inspired characters, focusing on detail and whimsy.”
“How would Ghibli sketch my features?”
However, we found the tool a bit buggy for the free-tier. While trying to create images, we were able to get one successful result on ChatGPT, but others failed. These failed signals were reversed, stating, “I was unable to generate the requested image due to content policy restrictions. If you’d like, I can adjust the request to better fit the approved guidelines – perhaps by focusing on a generic Ghibli-inspired fantasy character while retaining the essence of your original idea.”uja
Other AI platforms can also be used
Apart from ChatGPT, users can use platforms like Grok and Gemini, where there are image generation features on these platforms. Hence, users can choose these platforms for image creation for free. Apart from this, services like Microsoft Copilot, Crayon, DeepAI, and Playground AI are also available, where photos can be generated for free with various effects.
Commands are the most important
To generate photos, proper and detailed commands are important. Users can give these commands by writing about specific Ghibli effects or characters after uploading the photo. If there are errors in the command, then the correct image is not generated.
