How to make a GIF with GPT Image 2.6
Make a short looping GIF from a prompt and optional reference photos. Check your daily free GIF or credit price, then preview and download it.
Start with a short description of what should move. In MemeRecast, you can create an animated GIF from text or guide it with up to 3 still photos. Sign in to use your daily free GIF.
1. Describe one short action
For a GIF from text, leave the photo fields empty. Describe the subject, the movement and how it returns to its starting position. Keep the camera still so you can check the loop easily.
Paste this paper boat prompt to try a short loop.
A paper boat floats on a quiet pond. It tilts gently to the right once, then returns to level. Keep the camera and the bank still. End with the boat in its starting position.
2. Add a photo if you want to guide the look
To animate one photo, upload it and tell the generator what should move. For a photo of a paper boat, ask the boat to tilt and settle while the bank stays still. Choose a photo with a clear subject and room around it for the movement.
If you use more photos, assign each reference a purpose in the prompt.
- Photo 1 shows the subject and its appearance.
- Photo 2 shows the setting or background.
- Photo 3 shows a pose or visual style.
You can use just one reference. Add another when it shows something the first photo does not. Use photos you own or have permission to use.
Use still JPG, PNG or WebP files up to 2 MiB each and 4,096 pixels per side.
3. Check the price and generate
Sign in for one free GIF per UTC day. The allowance applies to the day you start the generation and resets at 00:00 UTC. Each additional successful generation started that day costs 10 credits. Review the price shown before starting, then select the generation button.
MemeRecast uses GPT Image 2.6 to generate the animation online from your prompt and any reference photos. Follow the job on the page. If it is already running, check its status before starting another.
4. Preview and save the GIF
Watch the animation through several loops. Check the subject's appearance and the moment the last frame returns to the first. If you want another version, adjust the prompt and check the price before generating again.
The result is a 480 × 480 pixel animated GIF with 9 frames and 1.8 seconds per loop. Select Download GIF to save the .gif file. Check your browser's downloads if it does not open automatically.
If you want to save an animation already attached to a public X post, use the X (Twitter) GIF Downloader.
