Anyone already in ChatGPT can make and edit images without a separate design app, with limited use on Free and thinking mode on paid plans.

Kenning's take

What it does

ChatGPT Images lets people create new pictures or edit uploaded ones by describing what they want, either in a chat or from the Images section of ChatGPT. It supports text in images, transparent backgrounds, any aspect ratio, templates and a selection tool for editing one area. It is available on every ChatGPT plan, with an extra 'thinking' mode on paid plans.

• Create images from a text prompt or edit an uploaded photo
• Select part of an image and describe the change
• Templates for posters, logos, flyers and product photos
• Sketch on mobile to guide an image
• Images with thinking on Plus, Pro and Business
