What you can make
You can take a holiday snap, your dog, a doodle or a selfie and make one thing in it move. Then it loops over and over, like a proper GIF. Here's what that looks like:
You can send it to the group chat, put it in a post or drop it into an email. And if you run a business, prompt 4 turns a product shot into a moving ad.
What you need
- ChatGPT. GIF creation is rolling out now, so it can take a few days to reach your account.
- One photo from your camera roll.
- About two minutes.
That’s the first part. The rest of this guide is free too.
