Studio Ghibli has gone viral and OpenAI is now feeling the heat, literally, as the company chief says their GPUs are melting because of the sketches that millions have made in the last 48 hours.
OpenAI has been forced to limit its use to the premium version, and Sam Altman has confirmed the free usage of this art style won’t be available anytime soon. While some of you have got the rich friends to use their ChatGPT 4o premium plan to make these Ghibli-style portraits, you can easily look at other AI image generator tools that give similar results for free.
5 Free AI Image Apps To Create Ghibli Style Photos
Google Gemini – Gemini app is now available on mobile and web for free. Google is letting you create images, ask queries and other tasks using the Gemini AI model. Can it also help you make the Studio Ghibli style art? Yes, just give it the relevant text prompt and get Ghibli-style portraits of people in the park made in seconds. And did we tell you, this one is free, with some limits but you just need to login with your Google account.
Grok ai – Next on the list is Grok AI which is owned by Elon Musk’s xAI startup. Grok AI started off as a premium feature but now the AI model is available to all users on the web and mobile app using the standalone Grok or X app. The platform lets you create Ghibli-style AI images using the Grok 3 AI model, however, free users have a limit on the number of images they can generate in an hour.
Leonardo.AI – Leonardo is a third-party AI image generator that has a free tier with limited benefits that you can try out. You just have to login or create an account on the platform, use the relevant prompt and get Ghibli style art created in seconds.
Playground AI – Another third-party app that gives you closely resembling Ghibli style artwork with simple text prompts
Perplexity, Copilot And More That Didn’t Work
Unlike ChatGPT 4o and other popular AI models, Copilot from Microsoft did not respond to the Ghibli style prompt and even raised a code of conduct violation disclaimer. Perplexity AI also referred to other AI apps to generate the images rather than doing itself.
Ghibli is pretty much part of the copyright world, and it seems OpenAI has trained its AI model that can generate these life-like anime sketches in seconds but all of this comes at a cost, which is why ChatGPT 4o premium version is the only reliable option that people have relied on to make these sketches.
