In recent times, artificial intelligence has opened new possibilities in the field of visual creativity. Among these, one of the most appreciated features of users is the transformation of photographs into artistic illustrations inspired by iconic styles. A particularly popular style is that of Studio Ghibli, famous for the fairy and dreamlike aesthetics of his animation films.
Creating Ghibli Style Images with ChatGPT
The procedure is simple and accessible to all. To get a Ghibli style illustration from a photo, just follow these steps:
- Upload a photo: You can use any image, stored locally on your smartphone or computer.
- Enter the correct prompt: Once you upload the image, you must accompany it with an effective prompt. We recommend using phrases such as:
Redesign the image in the style of Studio Ghibli, keep all the details.
Alternatively, you can use the English version, which sometimes produces better results:
Restyle image in Studio Ghibli style, keep all details.
The final result is often a delicate and dreamy illustration, reminiscent of the animation works of Hayao Miyazaki as The enchanted city or The Erratic Castle of Howl.
Limits and Restrictions of Function
Despite enthusiasm, it is important to report some limitations. OpenAI recently introduced filters to avoid potential copyright infringements. Therefore, some requests may be blocked by the system with a message that informs the user of the impossibility to proceed.
In these cases, a more generic alternative is sometimes offered, for example a transformation “inspired” to the style of Miyazaki, without mentioning Studio Ghibli directly.
Moreover, due to the high demand, especially during the days following the launch of GPT-4o, the service may be temporarily limited. Users of the free version can currently generate up to three images per day.
