ChatGPT can now make animated GIFs from a written request or a photo
OpenAI began rolling out Images 2.6 on Nov. 4, The Verge reported, and with it ChatGPT can turn a written request or an uploaded photo into an animated GIF in one step. People can change the playback speed, edit single frames and share the result. The update also makes image generation faster and is reaching all ChatGPT and Codex users on web, desktop and mobile.
Why it matters to a business like yours
A short moving picture for a weekend special, a new menu item or a finished job can now be made in the same chat where you write the post. Try it on one promotion, and check every frame for odd hands, wrong text or a logo that drifted before it goes out.
