Static images are no longer the only thing you can make with ChatGPT<\/a>. OpenAI\u2019s new Images 2.6 update<\/a> adds GIF support to ChatGPT, Codex, and the API, letting you turn your creations into short animations.<\/p>\n OpenAI says people generate around 4 billion images a week across these platforms, or more than half a billion every day. With that many images being made, adding motion feels like the obvious next step.<\/p>\n Turn a doodle into an animated character <\/p>\n For me, GIF support is the standout feature of this update. Marketers can animate a brand mascot for a campaign, online sellers can make product photos play on repeat, and social media users can create their own reaction GIFs and memes. <\/p>\n Images, upgraded\u2014introducing ChatGPT Images 2.6.<\/p>\n Now with GIFs and reference images.<\/p>\n Plus, two new models are coming to the API with 50% faster image generation. pic.twitter.com\/kcuOhTipYR<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 OpenAI (@OpenAI) November 4, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n Animators can also plan character movement with animated storyboards before shooting any video.<\/p>\n
