Now generating images with ChatGPT is free: What are the limits of this tool according to OpenAI
ChatGPT's new GPT-4o image generation is now free for all users, but daily limits and upload restrictions define how far you can go without a paid subscription.

ChatGPT’s latest update has opened the door for all users to access its powerful image generation tool, free of charge. Powered by the new GPT-4o model, this feature delivers significantly enhanced visuals compared to previous versions, making it ideal for both casual creativity and serious photo editing. However, OpenAI has placed several important limitations on how much you can use it—especially if you’re not a paying user.
Free to use, but with daily restrictions
While anyone can now generate images using ChatGPT, free-tier users are limited to only three image generations per day. This restriction mirrors OpenAI’s attempt to balance accessibility with server load, but it can be frustrating for users eager to experiment. Additionally, the tool often becomes unavailable after uploading two reference images, meaning source-based edits are quickly capped.
Creative possibilities beyond anime recreations
ChatGPT’s image generation isn’t just about mimicking art styles. It allows users to change backgrounds, shift moods in photos, or create new scenes using image references. For example, replacing a dog’s backdrop with a beach or transforming its expression from annoyed to joyful can be done with a simple prompt. The AI even reimagines complex requests, like a dog in costume riding a skateboard, with a surprising degree of accuracy.
Despite the limitations, GPT-4o’s image generator is one of the most advanced and accessible tools available today. Free users may face delays and daily caps, but the quality of the outputs makes it worth the wait. For those seeking more freedom, upgrading to ChatGPT Plus removes most of these barriers.
