HUDERA AIChatGPT now makes animated GIFs with Images 2.6
OpenAI released Images 2.6 on 4 November 2026. The headline change: ChatGPT can turn a text prompt or an uploaded photo into an animated GIF, and you can then change its speed or edit single frames.
It is available in ChatGPT, Codex and the API, and coverage puts generation at about 50% faster. Developers get two new models, GPT-Image-2.6 Flare and Sunburst. One limit for now: you cannot edit a GIF you upload yourself; it works on GIFs ChatGPT made or on a still image it animates.
What does this mean for your business?If you run a shop or a social page, a still product photo can become a short loop for an ad or an email without editing software. Try it on one product and compare engagement before rolling it out.
