ChatGPT Images 2.6: GIFs, reusable reference images and 50% faster generation

The new version of ChatGPT Images can create GIF animations, lets you reuse reference images, and generates pictures about 50% faster.

✨ What's new

ChatGPT Images 2.6 brings three new capabilities. First, it can create GIFs, which are short animated images that loop.

Second, it supports reusable reference images. This means you can use the same picture as a basis for new images without uploading it again each time.

Third, generation is about 50% faster, so your picture appears noticeably sooner than before.

📌 What it means for you

If you make images for social media, presentations or just for fun, the new features save time. They are handy for creating several variations based on one reference or a short animated clip instead of a still picture.

The source does not specify how these features work in detail, whether they are available to all users, or whether pricing has changed. Check inside ChatGPT or on the product page linked below.
