GPT-4o Image Generation
GPT-4o image generation is a new, advanced feature integrated natively into the GPT-4o model by OpenAI. More advanced their DALL·E 3 model, this ChatGPT image generator enables users to create and edit images directly within ChatGPT through natural language prompts and conversational refinement. Try GPT-4o image generation below.
Key Features of GPT-4o Image Generation
High Fidelity and Detail Images
GPT-4o can generate images containing many distinct objects-up to 10-20-while maintaining clarity and realism. This capability supports complex scenes that include multiple characters, objects, and backgrounds, each rendered with appropriate detail and spatial relationships.
Prompt | Output image |
A square image containing a 4 row by 4 column grid containing 16 objects on a white background. Go from left to right, top to bottom. Here's the list: |
![]() |
show me a wine glass with only the tiniest drop of red wine in it. |
![]() |
We need evidence there is a currently present invisible elephant. Consider what an elephant is and does in the environment, then show us that, perhaps mid-process - but the elephant itself is not shown at all |
![]() |
Multiple Image Style Support
GPT-4o image generation supports a wide and versatile range of image styles, making it highly adaptable for different creative and practical needs. The model excels at producing photorealistic images, artistic styles, or cartoon-like visuals depending on the prompt.
Probably what makes the GPT-4o image generation feature so popular is its ability to generate the well-known anime styles, including Studio Ghibli, South Park, The Simpsons and more.
Input | Studio Ghibli | South Park | The Simpsons |

Accurate Text Rendering
One of the standout capabilities of GPT-4o image generation is its ability to render text within images clearly and accurately, a known challenge in earlier image generation models. This allows for creating infographics, signage, or any image requiring legible text.
Prompt | Output image |
magnetic poetry on a fridge in a mid century home:
Line 1: "A picture" Line 2: "is worth" Line 3: "a thousand words," Line 4: "but sometimes"Large gapLine 5: "in the right place" Line 6: "can elevate" Line 7: "its meaning. "The man is holding the words "a few" in his right hand and "words" in his left. |

Make an image of a four‑panel strip, with some padding around the border:
A little snail is at the counter of a flashy car showroom. The salesman has leaned way over the desk to even see him. Close‑up on the snail looking very serious. He says, “I want your fastest sports car… and I want you to paint big letter ‘S’s on the doors, the hood and the roof.” The salesman is scratching his head. “Um… we can do that, but why the S’s?” Smash cut to a red blur roaring down the highway. The sports car is covered in giant S’s. People on the sidewalk are pointing and laughing: “WOW! LOOK AT THAT S‑CAR GO!” |

Interactive Image Editing and Transformation
Users can upload existing images and instruct GPT-4o to modify or transform them, such as removing reflections, altering backgrounds, or applying stylistic changes, making it useful for practical photo editing tasks beyond generating images from scratch.
GPT-4o image generation also supports multi-turn interactions, meaning users can refine images through ongoing dialogue, requesting changes or enhancements to better match their vision.
User input | Output image | |
Round 1 |
![]() Give this cat a detective hat and a monocle |
![]() |
Round 2 | turn this into a triple A video games made with a 4k game engine and add some User interface as overlay from a mystery RPG where we can see a health bar and a minimap at the top as well as spells at the bottom with consistent and iconography |
![]() |
Round 3 | update to a landscape image 16:9 ratio, add more spells in the UI, and unzoom the visual so that we see the cat in a third person view walking through a steampunk manhattan creating beautiful contrast and lighting like in the best triple A game, with cool-toned colors |
![]() |
Round 4 | create the interface when the player opens the menu and we see the cat's character profile with his equipment and another page showing active quests (and it should make sense in relationship with the universe worldbuilding we are describing in the image) |
![]() |
Contextual Awareness and Knowledge Use
GPT-4o leverages its extensive training on language and world knowledge to generate images that are not only visually coherent but also contextually meaningful. It understands references to real-world objects, styles, cultural elements, and can incorporate these intelligently into images.
This enables generating images that align with specific themes, historical periods, or artistic movements, enhancing relevance and depth.

![]() draw a design for a vehicle with triangular wheels, using these images as reference. label the front wheel, the back wheel, and at the of the diagram say (in small caps) TRIANGLE WHEELED VEHICLE. English Patent. 2025. OPENAI. |
