AI-generated imageWith its new Images 2.6 model, OpenAI lets you create GIFs from text or an uploaded image, adjust the speed and edit frame by frame. It’s rolling out to all ChatGPT and Codex users on web, desktop and mobile, and image generation in general gets faster.
If you make music, images or video
Handy for stickers, reactions and short social animations. Check that the character stays consistent across frames, and don’t use other people’s photos without their permission.
For the technical crowd
For developers, the API offers GPT-Image-2.6 “Flare,” the efficient option, and “Sunburst,” the higher-quality one.
