What you can do with GPT Image 2.6

Here is what the GIF generator does, and which options are available before you start.

Text to GIF

Describe the subject, motion, and style in plain text. GPT Image 2.6 draws the frames and returns one animated GIF.

A 9-frame looping preset

Every GIF uses 9 frames at 200 ms per frame, for a loop of about 1.8 seconds. The frame size is chosen automatically.

Two versions: Flare and Sunburst

Flare is built for speed. Sunburst focuses on detail and consistency. Both can create GIFs and PNGs.

Low, medium, and high quality

Start with low quality to test an idea, then move up when you like the motion. The Generate button shows the exact credits.

PNG with reference images

Switch to PNG for still images in 8 aspect ratios, including image to image with up to 16 reference images.

Results saved to your history

Each result appears in your history with its prompt and settings, ready to review or download.

Tips

Tips for better GIFs with GPT Image 2.6

A short prompt with one clear motion usually gives the most usable result.

DO

Describe one motion

Prompting

Tips

Nine frames leave room for one simple action, such as a blink, a bounce, or a slow turn. Name that action directly in your prompt.

Tips

Ask for a seamless loop and describe a motion that can return to its start. Compare the first and last frames, since the join may still be visible.

Tips

Try a new idea with Flare at low quality. Once the motion works, raise the quality or try the same prompt with Sunburst.

FAQ

GPT Image 2.6 GIF FAQ

Answers about GIF length, inputs, versions, and credits.

Still have a question? Email support@ai-studio.video.

Can GPT Image 2.6 make animated GIFs?

+

Yes. Keep GPT Image 2.6 selected with the GIF output format, describe what should move, and generate. You get one animated GIF that you can view and download.

How long is each GIF?

+

On AI Studio each GIF has 9 frames at 200 ms per frame, so one loop lasts about 1.8 seconds. Frame count and duration cannot be changed at the moment.

Can I turn an image into a GIF?

+

Not at the moment. GIFs are generated from text only. Reference images work when the output format is PNG.

Can I choose the GIF aspect ratio?

+

No. GIF frame size is chosen automatically. PNG output supports 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, and 21:9.

Will every GIF loop perfectly?

+

GIFs repeat automatically, but the last frame may not match the first one exactly. Asking for a seamless loop and using a simple motion can help.

How many credits does a GIF cost?

+

Credits depend on the quality you choose, and GIFs cost more than PNG images at the same quality. The Generate button shows the exact credits before you run it.
