Ghibli Style Image Generator using GPT 4o image generation API
Hey everyone!
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week, you've likely heard that OpenAI has launched their new ChatGPT image generation model. The 4o image generation model was launched on March 25th, 2025, with the announcement posted on their website. And as the leading AI API provider, we at PiAPI already have our very own GPT 4o image API.
And we have to say, the 4o image generation by ChatGPT looks very impressive, easily overshadowing most text-to-image and image-to-image AIs in the market.
In this blog, we’ll be generating both text-to-image and image-to-image examples in the popular Studio Ghibli style. Many people have been using the new ChatGPT 4o image generation model as their own personal Ghibli image generator, and it's been pretty fun to watch! So we decided to test our own GPT 4o image generation API this way and see the results.
Examples
Trump Tariffs
For our first example, we’ll imagine what the recent Trump Tariffs announcement might look like if we were living in the fictional world of Studio Ghibli. We'll use the image below as our input, along with an appropriate prompt.
And now let's see what it looks like after we have ChatGPT 4o Ghibli -fied it!
We must say that it definitely looks amazing. While it didn’t get all the numbers on the board correct—especially the ones at the bottom—it still shows impressive text adherence, especially compared to most other AI image generation models, which don’t even come close.
A Minecraft Movie
For our second example, we are going to use Jack Black playing Steve in the minecraft movie and put him through our chatgpt 4o image api. We're excited to see what a minecraft movie would look like if it was made by the talented people at studio ghibli!
And now let us look at how it turns out after putting it in our Ghibli image generator!
This one also turned out really good! The overall image quality, combined with its strong text adherence, really makes it stand out. And it doesn't have any trouble with the fingers too, which is always nice to see. Yet another impressive result from the new ChatGPT image generation model.
Comic Panel
For our final test, we’re creating an AI-generated comic panel—something we've seen quite a few people experimenting with on Reddit. We wanted to give it a try ourselves using our GPT4o image API. In this example, we'll be using text-to-image with the following prompt:
Can you create a comic panel with 4 scenes, make the entire comic in studio ghibli style:
the first scene (top left) is a guy looking smug and pointing at two guys talking (the two guys talking have the openAI logo on their shirts), the smug looking guy says that "AI art is not art"
the second scene (top right) is just the two guys with the openAI logo on their shirts looking back at the smug looking guy awkwardly
the third scene (bottom left) is one of the two guys giving the smug looking guys a thumbs up before returning to their conversation
the fourth scene (bottom right) is the smug looking guy now angry, shouting at the two guys who are now ignoring him, the smug guy is shouting "STOP HAVING FUN"
And now let's look at how the comic panel turned out!
This one turned out really well! It nailed the human facial expressions, got the OpenAI logo right, and showed excellent text adherence. It really feels like you could create an entire manga or comic by only using our GPT 4o image generation API, the new ChatGPT image generation definitely feels like a huge leap forward.
Conclusion
I think that it can objectively be said that the new ChatGPT 4o image generation is really amazing, as it can replicate a ton of different art styles very well, including the Ghibli style which we used for the examples in this blog.
We are looking forward to how else OpenAI would improve their ChatGPT image generation, and their GPT model in general!
As always, if you want to test it out yourself, you can use our GPT 4o image API right now!
