Whether it’s Instagram or X, social media feeds have been flooded with anime aesthetics! In the past 48 hours, Studio Ghibli-style portraits have taken the internet by storm, with users transforming everything—from iconic Bollywood scenes to viral memes—into Japanese anime-inspired artwork.
This sudden trend surge follows OpenAI’s rollout of ChatGPT-4o’s latest feature, which allows users to not only generate images but also convert their pictures into a stunning anime-style transformation.
However, this feature is currently limited to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, and Select subscription tiers. Free users can generate a maximum of three animated images.
If you're looking to generate unlimited Ghibli-style images without ChatGPT, here’s how you can do it using alternative AI tools:
Visit the Gemini AI platform and log in.
In the chat box, provide a brief description of the image you want to create.
Submit your prompt.
The AI will generate a Ghibli-inspired image, ready for sharing online.
Open the Grok AI website or app.
Upload your image by clicking on the paperclip icon.
Request the AI to "Ghiblify" your image.
A Studio Ghibli-style version of your image will be generated. If needed, you can refine it with further edits.
Beyond Gemini and Grok, you can explore third-party AI tools like:
DeepAI
Craiyon
Playground AI
Simply upload an image along with a detailed prompt describing your vision, or use your own picture and request a Studio Ghibli-style transformation.
