11 style ideas to edit your photos with ChatGPT

OpenAI’s photo editor inside ChatGPT has become a fun and creative playground, especially since the introduction of the image editing feature. While many users stick to the Ghibli-style transformation, there are plenty of other imaginative styles you can try to give your photos a whole new personality. Here’s a quick guide with some of the most entertaining and striking ones.

Go beyond Ghibli: Explore new visual styles

The Studio Ghibli style has gone viral, thanks to its dreamy, soft tones and expressive characters. But it’s just the beginning. If you’re nostalgic for Spanish comics, the Francisco Ibáñez style brings in classic humor from Mortadelo y Filemón. For something wackier, transform yourself into a Muppet or step into the world of South Park or The Simpsons, with oversized heads and simplified features that instantly add a humorous tone to your image.

Embrace pop culture and artistic vibes

If anime is your thing, styles like Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Akira, or Shin Chan offer exaggerated action vibes or quirky childhood nostalgia. Just avoid exact names in prompts to bypass potential copyright warnings. For more artistic transformations, try Pop Art or Pixel Art — both give your photos a unique retro or stylized feel. You can even choose specific pixel levels like 8-bit or 16-bit for more precise control.

Go full fantasy or cartoon

For exaggerated portraits, the caricature style works wonders, especially if you want to highlight your quirkiest features. Doll box style lets you become an action figure, often inside a digitally designed box. And if you’re aiming for epic and magical vibes, the fantasy illustration style adds swords, cloaks, and dragons to your shot.
