OpenAI Enhances ChatGPT with New Image Generation Features
On September 8, 2026, OpenAI introduced an updated version of its image generation tools in ChatGPT called Images 2.5 and a new feature named Sketch that allows users to create images based on their doodles. The Sketch tool enables users to draw directly within the chat interface as part of their prompt for generating AI images. This update also includes improvements such as more natural lighting, richer textures, better editing capabilities across multiple interactions, and up to 50% faster image generation latency compared to version 2.0. The new features are now available on desktop, mobile, and web platforms for ChatGPT users, including those using the Work or Codex versions of the tool. Users can also annotate specific parts of images they want modified directly within the interface.
