ChatGPT's image generation feature is now available to free users, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said.
The decision came after days of an unprecedented response to the new feature, generating AI images, particularly the iconic Studio Ghibli-inspired art, on social media, reports NDTV.
Until now, the AI image generation feature was available only to paid subscribers under the ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team plans. Free users were restricted to generating a maximum of three images per day. Following the feature's massive popularity among premium users, OpenAI has extended it to all free-tier accounts.
Sam Altman wrote on X, "ChatGPT image gen now rolled out to all free users."
Before the announcement, he said he wanted "everyone to use it." "We will not do anything silly like saying that you can't use our open model if your service has more than 700 million monthly active users. We want everyone to use it," he wrote on X.
The rollout began on March 26, and as of April 1, all ChatGPT users - regardless of subscription - can now access the tool. The feature is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o model.
How To Use Image Regeneration In ChatGPT

2. Modify the prompt (like, "Make the sky red instead of blue").
3. Hit the "regenerate" option to get an updated version of the image.
4.Compare and refine - repeat the process until the desired result is achieved.
