Imagine asking your AI assistant to turn a simple photo into something stunning—like a moody indoor portrait, a colorful birthday poster, or even a professional-looking product photo. Sounds magical, right? Well, it’s real now.
ChatGPT can now create and edit images! Whether you’re a beginner or a creative pro, this tool can help you bring your ideas to life with just a few words. No complicated software. No design degree needed.
Let’s dive into how it works and how you can start using it like a pro.
So, What Can ChatGPT Do with Images?
Thanks to its built-in image generation powers (powered by DALL·E), ChatGPT can now:
- Create original images based on your description
- Edit existing images (like removing people or changing lighting)
- Blend two or more photos into one
- Add effects, lighting, blur, and more
And guess what? You don’t even need fancy tools. All you need is a good prompt.
