What happened

FAQ

What is new in ChatGPT with the Images 2.6 update?

ChatGPT can now create animated GIFs directly from a text prompt or an uploaded photo, with options to adjust animation speed, edit individual frames and share the result.

Can you edit a GIF after ChatGPT creates it?

Yes. The update lets you change playback speed, view the animation frame by frame and edit individual frames before sharing.

Should MENA teams adopt this now?

It is a lightweight creative feature best suited to social and marketing content. Test it on non-sensitive material and keep a human review step, since fine details in generated images remain unreliable.
