OpenAI has released GPT-4o, now featuring remarkable image generation capabilities. Unlike previous models, GPT-4o can effortlessly produce detailed, realistic, and highly creative images directly from your text descriptions.
We have been using this tool to test its capabilities and here are 10 stunning examples we created leveraging 4o’s advanced image generation capabilities
1. Product Photo into Professional Ads
I’m not a graphic designer or an ad creator by any stretch—but GPT-4o has changed that. I took a casual snapshot of a Fevicol bottle I found lying around at home, uploaded it to GPT-4o, and asked it to create an advertising poster based on my image. The results were beyond impressive—I was genuinely amazed at how polished and professional it looked.
Now, even with basic product images, I can create stunning ad creatives effortlessly. This is a game-changer for people like me who don’t have traditional design skills, since previously you’d have needed to rely on professional designers and creatives.
2. Professional App Mockups and Ads
As a mobile app developer, I regularly rely on designers to create attractive mockups from basic screenshots of my apps. This typically involves sending screenshots and waiting for designers to frame them professionally. However, GPT-4o changes everything—I can now directly upload a screenshot and have GPT-4o instantly add a realistic mobile phone frame and create professional-grade mockups.
But GPT-4o doesn’t stop there. I uploaded an actual screenshot of our upcoming app, and GPT-4o generated not just a sleek mockup but also a complete ad creative. It automatically used the logo from our app, perfectly matched the color scheme, and delivered a finished ad ready to use without any further edits. The final result is genuinely impressive and saves me valuable time and resources.
3. Imagining Bangalore with a Stunning Skyline
I’ve always wondered what Bangalore would look like with an impressive skyline—and now, thanks to GPT-4o, I don’t have to just imagine it. I took a picture from my balcony and asked GPT-4o to add a spectacular skyline featuring the iconic Burj Khalifa in the background.
The model did an outstanding job, preserving all the original details of my photo while seamlessly adding the skyline. The result was truly fantastic! Now, if only the city planners could take a hint (after fixing the roads, of course!). This feature is incredibly valuable for architects and urban planners who want a quick, cost-effective preview of their designs, eliminating the need for lengthy and expensive 3D modeling.
4. Effortlessly Transform Interiors with Style
For interior designers, GPT-4o is nothing short of revolutionary. Previously, tools like Interior AI allowed you to visualize interior design variations by uploading photos and prompting for different styles. Now, GPT-4o brings this capability directly into OpenAI’s platform with exceptional quality.
I uploaded a photo of a villa from my recent trip to Goa and asked GPT-4o to redesign the interior in a bohemian style, adding lush plants and vibrant flowers. The outcome was breathtaking! Interior designers and architects can now drastically reduce time and costs spent on traditional 3D modeling. Imagine showing clients different interior styles in mere seconds—convenient, cost-effective, and visually stunning.
5. Making Yourself Look Smarter Than You Actually Are
GPT-4o can even help you look smarter—whether or not you really are! I took a photo of a book with blank pages, uploaded it, and asked GPT-4o to fill it with complex calculus equations and mathematical notations. The result was incredibly realistic and convincing.
While I’m not exactly a calculus expert, I can now easily create visuals that suggest otherwise. Imagine social media when people realise how to use this tool, there will be a lot of fake images out there with people portraying to be something they are not. Wait, that already happens, but now it will only be exponentially worse!
6. Preview and Perfect Your Tattoo Ideas
Ever wondered how a tattoo would look on your body or wanted to improve one you already have? With GPT-4o, you can visualize tattoo ideas instantly. I took a photo of an existing tattoo from someone I know and asked GPT-4o to enhance it with surfers, waves, a sun, and dolphins.
The resulting image was impressive—realistic, detailed, and exactly what I envisioned. This feature can help avoid regret or uncertainty around tattoos. You’ll know precisely how the tattoo will look or how you can creatively enhance an existing one before you ever commit to the ink.
7. Try Nail Polish Virtually Before You Commit
Choosing nail polish can be tricky—it’s hard to predict exactly how a color or style will look until it’s actually applied. With GPT-4o, you no longer need to guess. I uploaded a photo of a friend’s bare nails and asked GPT-4o to apply vibrant nail polish digitally.
The result was accurate and realistic, perfectly applying color only to the nails. While the vibrant color might be bold for my taste, the convenience is undeniable. Now anyone can confidently try new nail styles virtually, avoiding regrets and ensuring satisfaction.
8. Repainting Classic Art in Seconds
Ever wondered how a painting at home or even at a museum would look with different colors or styles? Now you can easily find out. I uploaded a photo of a painting I have at home and asked GPT-4o to enhance it with vibrant, vivid colors.
The outcome was remarkable. It makes me wonder—what would the art world look like if masters like Rembrandt or Picasso had access to GPT-4o? Maybe their masterpieces would have been different—or perhaps we’re entering a new era where anyone can spark a fresh renaissance with these incredible tools
9. Create Detailed Infographics Instantly
One of GPT-4o’s remarkable advancements is its ability to render text clearly and accurately—a limitation of previous tools like DALL-E 2 or Midjourney. I tested this by asking GPT-4o to create an infographic highlighting the differences between Chatbots and Agents, specifically requesting a branded blue background.
GPT-4o not only followed my instructions precisely but also crafted an infographic I could immediately share on my social media channels. This functionality is incredibly useful for entrepreneurs and marketers who need quick, professional, and branded visuals without relying on designers.
10. Create stunning logos!
With the text rendering getting better with the new image generation model it provides an opportunity to create stunning logos with your brand name and tagline all in them. Ive tried to use multiple tools before to create logos for my products but they just didn’t work as well – until now!
Here, I asked Gpt-4o to come up with a logo for a fictional brand that deals in luxury apparel for wildlife enthusiasts called Earthwear. It not only came up with a logo, but was able to add the name of the brand and tag line in the image. I will save a lot of hours and have a lot of fun coming up with logos for the different products we build!
Why GPT-4o Image Generation is Different
GPT-4o marks a significant advancement in AI-driven image generation because it leverages an integrated multimodal understanding—combining advanced natural language processing and sophisticated image creation. Technically, GPT-4o uses a deep learning architecture designed to deeply understand nuanced text inputs and translate them into detailed visual outputs. Compared to earlier image generation models, GPT-4o’s enhanced architecture includes:
- Improved semantic comprehension: Accurately interpreting complex and subtle instructions.
- Enhanced realism: Generating more lifelike images through advanced diffusion techniques and fine-grained detail.
- Dynamic flexibility: Easily adapting to various artistic styles or practical scenarios.
In simpler terms, GPT-4o doesn’t just match your description—it understands context and intent more deeply, creating visuals that closely align with your imagination.
