ChatGPT will now make you animated GIFs
TL;DR
ChatGPT can now create GIFs using a prompt or a photo uploaded to the AI chatbot. The update, which is rolling out alongside OpenAI's new Images 2.6 model, allows you to adjust the GIF's animation speed, edit individual frames, and share it with others. Before this change, ChatGPT couldn't natively generate GIFs in a single step. An example shared by the company shows how ChatGPT can generate a GIF in response to the prompt, "can you make a gif of a cat dancing?
Nauti's Take
Small teams should test this on repeatable social formats: start with one image, generate a few short animations, then inspect the frames for brand errors. Check export quality, rights for uploaded images, and usage limits before making GIF generation part of a regular content workflow.
