For a long time, OpenAI kept text and image generation as separate features, but everything changed recently with the integration of image capabilities into ChatGPT. A significant update has rolled out, allowing users to access a comprehensive image library showcasing all the creative visuals they’ve generated.
This update allows users to revisit images they might have forgotten about without the hassle of sifting through old conversations. It’s an obvious enhancement, now available on both mobile and desktop for all users across Free, Plus, and Pro tiers.
People will likely enjoy sharing their image libraries, as the wide variety of quirky and amusing images created through ChatGPT could lead to quite an entertaining visual collection. Personally, mine is quite mundane, but I hope it expands with time.
Recently, there have been whispers about OpenAI potentially creating a social media platform aimed at ChatGPT and image generation. While it might be just another chapter in the ongoing rivalry between billionaires Sam Altman and Elon Musk, if the project comes to fruition, it could very well utilize features like the newly launched image library.
For now, users can enjoy browsing their collection of creations. Clicking on an image in your library reveals a download option in the top right corner, as well as an “Edit image” feature at the bottom, allowing users to input prompts for desired changes. Upon sending these prompts, you’ll be redirected to the chat where the original image was created.
However, it appears there isn’t an option to delete images from your library, which means that tidying up by removing less favorable creations isn’t possible at this time. Nonetheless, this limitation isn’t too concerning since you have the ability to download and organize your favorites in personal folders as you see fit.
