OpenAI adds GIF creation and editing to ChatGPT and Codex
OpenAI’s Images 2.6 update lets people create and edit GIFs in ChatGPT, Codex and through the API. Users can start with a written prompt or an uploaded photo, then adjust the animation and share it, giving them a way to make personalised GIFs rather than rely on familiar clips.
The feature launched on 4 November 2026 and is available through ChatGPT and Codex without a subscription, though account type affects how many images users can generate. GIFs can be sped up or slowed down, edited with written instructions, and reviewed frame by frame using the sheet view. OpenAI says Images 2.6 generates images about 50 per cent faster than its previous version; developers can also choose between Flare and Sunburst generation modes.
In short
- ChatGPT can now create GIFs from prompts or photos.
- Users can edit GIFs and adjust their speed.
- Access is free, but generation limits vary by subscription.
