How to Edit Images in ChatGPT

Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

Open ChatGPT, upload the image you want to change or select an image ChatGPT created, then describe the edit in plain language. For a change in one area, open the editor and use Select to highlight that area before describing the result. Review the whole image because the selection is not always exact, then use Save to download the finished version.

Open ChatGPT Images

Go to ChatGPT and sign in. You can start in a normal conversation or choose Images from the menu.

Choose an image

Upload an image you are allowed to edit, or open an image ChatGPT previously created. Avoid uploading identity documents, private records, or another person's photo without permission.

Describe the complete change

Tell ChatGPT what to add, remove, replace, or improve. Name the subject and location clearly, such as 'remove the cup from the table' or 'make the background brighter without changing the person.'

Select one area when needed

Open the image editor and choose Select if the edit should affect one part of the picture. Highlight that area, then describe the change. OpenAI notes that the highlight is not always exact.

Review the whole result

Check faces, hands, text, logos, edges, and areas outside your selection. If something unintended changed, use Undo or give a narrower instruction instead of accepting the first result.

Save the final image

When the result is ready, choose Save to download it. Keep the original file separately so you can return to it later.

If it does not work

  • On the mobile app, open the image, choose Edit, and use Select if you need to mark a specific area before tapping Next.
  • If image editing is missing, update the official ChatGPT app or retry at chatgpt.com with the same account before changing the image file.
