ChatGPT Images

ChatGPT Images is OpenAI's image generator in ChatGPT that creates and edits pictures with accurate text, from prompts or uploaded photos.

ChatGPT Images is OpenAI's image generator inside ChatGPT. It launched on March 25, 2025 with GPT-4o's native image generation and creates pictures from a description or edits photos you upload. It is known for rendering legible text, following detailed instructions and keeping details consistent across edits. You refine a picture by chatting: ask for a different style, background or layout and it revises the same image. ChatGPT Images 2.0 (April 2026) and 2.5 (September 2026) raised quality and added Sketch, which turns your drawings into finished images. Everything you make is kept in an Images library in ChatGPT.
