Perfectly render text within images, whether it's logos, diagrams, or labels, making images an effective tool for visual communication.
Leverage 4o's inherent knowledge base and chat context, including transforming uploaded images or using them as visual inspiration to create exactly the image you envision.
Refine images through natural conversation while maintaining consistency across iterations, such as keeping a video game character's appearance consistent as you experiment.
Follow detailed prompts with precision, handling up to 10-20 different objects in complex scenes with better control over their traits and relations.
Analyze and learn from user-uploaded images, seamlessly integrating their details into its context to inform subsequent image generation.
Create images in a vast variety of styles, from photorealistic photography to hand-drawn illustrations, enabling seamless translation from concept to execution.
To use the style prompts you copy from this page, you need to be at least a ChatGPT Plus subscriber and paste the prompt at https://chatgpt.com/
If you're a Free user, you'll need to wait a bit longer to access the new features, as their availability depends on OpenAI's rollout schedule.
However, if you're eager to try them out and can't wait, upgrading to a Plus user is a great option. Plus users get priority access to new features, along with additional advanced benefits to enhance your experience.
4o image generation rolls out starting March 25, 2025, to Plus, Pro, Team, and Free users as the default image generator in ChatGPT, with access coming soon to Enterprise and Edu users. Developers will soon be able to generate images with GPT-4o via the API, with access rolling out in the next few weeks.
Creating and customizing images is as simple as chatting using GPT-4o - just describe what you need, including any specifics like aspect ratio, exact colors using hex codes, or a transparent background. Because this model creates more detailed pictures, images take longer to render, often up to one minute.
Current limitations include:
• Cropping issues (longer images may be cropped too tightly)
• Hallucinations (making up information in low-context prompts)
• High binding problems (difficulty handling more than 10-20 concepts)
• Precise graphing challenges
• Multilingual text rendering limitations
• Editing precision constraints
• Difficulty with dense information containing small text
All generated images come with C2PA metadata, which identifies an image as coming from GPT-4o, providing transparency. OpenAI has also built an internal search tool that uses technical attributes of generations to help verify if content came from their model. The system blocks requests for generated images that may violate content policies and has heightened restrictions for images involving real people.
