3 Easy Ways to Edit Images Using ChatGPT

ChatGPT can not only be used for writing or composing e-mails. You can also use it as a quick image editing tool to edit your pictures on the go. With ChatGPT you can resize, crop, scale, convert and much more. There is also a native image editor that you can use to edit images created with DALL-E. In this guide, you will learn how to quickly edit photos with ChatGPT.

How Does ChatGPT Image Editing Work?

Before I go into the methods, I want to make it clear that you need to be a ChatGPT Plus member with access to the editing features. Unlike traditional image editing programs like Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Canva and others, all image editing can be done using text prompts only. It can understand complex editing commands and modify images using simple text prompts.

Editing images with ChatGPT comes with some restrictions, e.g. certain types of images containing people or sensitive content cannot be edited. In addition, all photos uploaded to ChatGPT can be used to train the model. You can specify in the settings that your data is not used to train the models. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the different methods of image editing.

How to Edit Images Using ChatGPT

Edit AI-Generated Images

ChatGPT has recently gained native image editing features for images generated using DALL-E. This tool allows you to add or remove certain elements from the image using simple text prompts. The model regenerates the images, and you won’t even notice that they have been edited.

How to edit DALL-E generated images in ChatGPT

• Step 1: Visit chat.openai.com and select the GPT 4 model.
• Step 2: Click on the text editor and enter the prompt to generate an image.
  
• Step 3: Click on the generated image and enter the full screen.
  
• Step 4: Now click the edit icon and use the brush to select the area you want to edit. Describe the changes you want to make to the text prompt. For better results, please ensure your text prompt is clear and well-defined. You can make multiple edits to the image until you achieve the desired result.
• Step 5: Click the download icon to save the image after the edit.

Edit Images Using Custom GPTs

You can also edit images using the Custom GPTs on ChatGPT. Custom GPTs are pre-trained models with unique abilities to perform a specific task. They are available within ChatGPT for GPT Premium subscribers.

Unlike the native method, which only works for AI-generated images, you can use the custom GPT to edit local and AI-generated images. You can perform basic photo editing operations such as cropping, rotating, applying filters to the image, removing the background, converting the image to another format and much more.

There are many custom GPTs for image editing; each GPT is specialized for a specific image editing task. We have selected the five best custom GPTs that offer the most common image editing features.
