Summary
- ChatGPT now has an image gallery for all generated images, making it easier to revisit and retrieve them.
- Users can download images directly, edit them, and access specific points in chat history where images were created.
- While the gallery lacks a deletion function, it’s a solid addition, following ChatGPT’s trending image generation improvements.
ChatGPT’s image generation became trending again due to improvements made to the image generation model that made images actually a bit scary good. If you’ve used that a bit, now you can see all your image generations in one place.
ChatGPT has now officially added a sort of image gallery for all the images the chatbot has generated for you. It’s basically a centralized repository where you can view all the images you have previously generated using the platform. You can now easily revisit, review, and retrieve images you’ve created earlier, even if you previously neglected to save them immediately after generation.
When you select an image thumbnail, you’ll be shown a few options that are relevant to that specific image creation. You have a download button that allows for the direct saving of the image file to the user’s local device. Furthermore, an “Edit image” button lets you edit it. Clicking this button transports you back to the specific point in the chat history where the original image was generated. From there, you can input new text prompts to describe the desired alterations, and ChatGPT will just generate a new edited image based on the specifications you gave it. It’s pretty cool. We have a chat history already, so this is just a similar thing but for images.
Right now, there appears to be no built-in function to delete individual images directly from the library view itself, but other than this, it seems to be a pretty solid addition. As a reminder, a lot of people, even those who weren’t typically active AI users, tried out ChatGPT for the first time to try out the chatbot’s new image generation capabilities, which is also how we ended up with a bunch of really cursed Studio Ghibli-style images.
Those became a huge trend on many social media platforms, with almost absolutely everyone making AI images left and right. And while it has kind of died down by now, I still see one or two pop up in my WhatsApp statuses or Instagram stories. I don’t specifically condone those, and neither does Hayao Miyazaki, but there’s nothing I can tell you that will stop you from making them. So you might as well keep them all organized if you’re going to be doing them.

People are going nuts for ChatGPT’s new image-generation capabilities, creating everything from images of themselves in the style of Studio Ghibli to images of other people in the style of Studio Ghibli. Incredibly, ChatGPT can even make images in other styles, too.
Image generation within ChatGPT isn’t new by any stretch of the word, but with the recent improvements, they got a lot better at imitating specific art styles, handling words and letters, and at a lot more stuff. It’s still not perfect, but it’s a noticeable improvement from the system you used to have—scrolling through an endless list of previous chats and looking to see which has the image you want is a far from ideal solution.
OpenAI says that the feature is now rolling out to Free, Plus, and Pro users, so regardless of which tier you’re on, you should have your image gallery soon within the next few weeks. Don’t be surprised if you don’t see it right now, though—rollouts can sometimes take time.
