ChatGPT Introduces Library Feature for Easy Access to AI-Generated Images

OpenAI Launches New Library Feature to Organize AI-Generated Images in ChatGPT

OpenAI has introduced a new library feature within ChatGPT that provides users with a centralized space to view all their AI-generated images. Announced on Wednesday, the feature is now available across all ChatGPT platforms — web, desktop, and mobile — for registered users. The library is designed to help users easily browse, revisit, and reuse their previously created images without digging through old chat histories. In addition to viewing, the update also offers editing capabilities directly from the library interface.

The feature was officially revealed via OpenAI’s post on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting its broad availability to both free users and those subscribed to the Plus and Pro plans. Accessible via the left-hand sidebar on web and mobile apps, the library displays only images generated using GPT-4o’s image creation capabilities. Images created with earlier models like DALL-E are not included in this view, according to OpenAI’s support documentation.

Inside the library, users will find a new “Make Image” button at the bottom, offering a quick way to jump back into generating fresh visuals. When a user taps and holds on an existing image, it enlarges in a separate window where four new options appear: Edit, Select, Save, and Share. Saving allows users to download the image locally, while sharing integrates with third-party apps to send images to friends and social media.

The editing tools add even more flexibility. Selecting “Edit” opens a new chat where the image is attached, allowing users to apply further text-based prompts for significant modifications or to generate related creations. The “Select” tool provides more granular control, letting users highlight and modify specific parts of an image. An adjustable slider refines selection sizes, and Undo/Redo options streamline the editing process. Additionally, a Copy button lets users quickly add images to their clipboard for use elsewhere. Together, these new features mark a major step forward in making image generation within ChatGPT more organized and interactive.
