How the Ghibli Image Trend Started
The Ghibli-style image trend gained momentum when OpenAI introduced image generation capabilities in ChatGPT-4o. Many users began converting their photos into illustrations with a distinct hand-drawn, whimsical style reminiscent of Studio Ghibli’s signature animation. However, access to this feature was limited to paid ChatGPT Plus subscribers, leaving free users unable to join in.
That’s when Grok 3 emerged as a game-changer. This tool offers the same Ghibli-style image generation capabilities without requiring a subscription fee, making it an accessible option for Nigerians in the UK and beyond. With Grok being available on X (formerly Twitter), it’s easier than ever to create anime-style artwork and participate in the growing trend.
