Turn Any Image Into Studio Ghibli Style In ChatGPT
Today is a great internet day.
OpenAI released GPT-4o with native image generation, and people are using it to transform any image into Studio Ghibli anime style.
In case you missed the announcement, GPT-4o is packed with some incredible features, like high-quality image generation (we’re talking quality on par with Midjourney V6 and Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra here), precise image editing with natural language, and accurate text rendering.
But out of hundreds of examples, one stood out, and people are going crazy about it — restyling their images in Studio Ghibli's anime style.
Here’s how you can do it:
- Head over to chat.openai.com, or you can update your ChatGPT desktop app to the latest version.
- Set the model to GPT-4o
- Upload your photo and set the prompt to “restyle the photo into Studio Ghibli art.”
- Hit the submit button and wait for the result to be generated

This is incredibly fun because you can upload any image, even those with human faces, and transform it into something cute and artistic.
See some more examples below, turning famous memes into Studio Ghibli-style images.
