The ChatGPT feature that’s sweeping the internet

The AI-powered image generation feature was rolled out by OpenAI on March 26, 2025, to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users globally. Since then, social media users have been transforming their personal images into art resembling the enchanting worlds of Studio Ghibli films. To take part in the fun, users simply need to upload their photo to the ChatGPT app or website, click the '+' sign in the corner, and enter the prompt 'Ghiblify this' or 'turn this image into Studio Ghibli theme'. Once the image is generated, users can download it and share it with their followers.

ChatGPT’s rapid growth amid the craze

The trend has proven to be more than just a passing moment, as ChatGPT's creator, Sam Altman, revealed in a recent post that the platform’s user base has grown exponentially since the launch of the Ghibli feature. "The ChatGPT launch 26 months ago was one of the craziest viral moments I'd ever seen, and we added one million users in five days," Altman wrote.
