GPT-Image-2.6 GIF prompts, examples and tips
GPT-Image-2.6 can draw a whole animation at once and return it as a GIF. Here is what it makes, how it works, and how to write prompts that loop well.
How GPT-Image-2.6 makes a GIF
Older AI GIFs were drawn frame by frame, so faces and colors flickered. GPT-Image-2.6 draws every frame together on one sheet, which keeps the character, colors and background consistent across the loop. We send your photo or prompt to the model and keep the finished GIF, so you can download it, share it or edit it.
Prompt tips for GPT-Image-2.6 GIFs
- Describe one simple motion. With 8 frames, a blink, a wave or rising steam loops better than a whole story.
- Say what has to stay still. "Camera still, background unchanged" stops the picture from drifting.
- Ask for a seamless loop that ends where it started, so the GIF doesn't jump when it repeats.
