Hi everyone 👋 Luis & Rui here with another AI tutorial.
Ever wished you could spin up a looping GIF in seconds—no Photoshop, no clunky converters?
With the new ChatGPT‑4o image‑generation feature you can do it all in one chat: write a prompt, generate frames and watch them merge into a share‑ready GIF.
Let us show you how.
Step‑by‑Step Tutorial: From Prompt to Pixel‑Art GIF in 3 Minutes
Step 1 - Set the Scene in ChatGPT
Open ChatGPT, select chatgpt 4o or o3 and start a new chat.
Paste this prompt:
Generate a 4-image pixel art sequence of a [explain what you want the gift to be, ie. character in action].
[describe the different sequences]Here is an example:
Create me a pixel art illustration that depicts a sequence of four images of a baby dragon’s first adventure:
1.Hatching: A glowing dragon egg begins to crack open in a mystical cave, with hints of magical light spilling out.
2.Emergence: A tiny dragon peeks out, its eyes filled with wonder, as delicate wings start to unfurl.
3.Flight: The young dragon makes its tentative first flight over an enchanted forest under a starry sky.
4.Discovery: The dragon perches on a cliff’s edge, gazing out at a world of wonder with a sense of awe.
Why it works:
“4‑image … sequence” tells the model to think in animation terms.
Pixel‑art + square frames keeps file size low and style consistent.
Feel free to swap in your own action (jump, dance, explode) or bump the frame count if you want smoother motion.
