ChatGPT’s image generator can also create Ghibli-style stickers for use on WhatsApp and other messaging platforms.

The viral Studio Ghibli-style image trend that took the internet by storm can now be recreated and shared as WhatsApp stickers right from your phone—completely free—using ChatGPT’s AI image-generation tool.

ChatGPT’s image generator supports multiple formats, including short video clips. But now, you can also create and customize Ghibli-style stickers with transparent backgrounds—perfect for daily use on WhatsApp.

These stickers aren’t limited to WhatsApp—they can also be used on other messaging platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and iMessage for iPhone users.

How to Create Ghibli-Style WhatsApp Stickers: Step-by-Step Guide

• First, open the ChatGPT app on your phone or visit chat.openai.com in your browser.
• Upload a photo of yourself or someone else, and add a prompt to transform it into a Studio Ghibli-style image.

Here’s an example prompt you can use when uploading a photo:

Prompt Example:
“Turn this photo into a Studio Ghibli-style character with a soft, dreamy background, expressive anime eyes, and a magical forest setting.”

You can customize it based on the vibe you want. Want a cityscape or a flying scene? Just change the background description!

• After the sticker is generated, simply right-click and download it to use on WhatsApp or any other social media platform.
• If you’d prefer not to upload personal photos, you can also type a prompt like “Ghibli-style sticker set with transparent backgrounds” to get a ready-made collection.

If you want to describe a particular sticker you would want in Ghibli-style, you can also issue a verbal prompt that can be converted into an image. For example, “Create a Ghibli-style sticker of a boy climbing a tree.”

Although the AI image trend has recently brought Studio Ghibli into the social media spotlight, the studio’s iconic animation style dates back to its founding in 1985 by legendary animators and directors Miyazaki Hayao and Takahata Isao, together with producer Suzuki Toshio.
