Turn yourself into a tiny chibi capsule character

ChatGPT 4o is now incredibly good at generating realistic memes and visual content, and one of the latest trends—Anime-style Chibi figures—is gaining traction fast. Here’s how you can join in and start creating your own.

  1. Go to ChatGPT and choose 4o as your model.

  2. Upload a clear, sharp, and colorful photo of yourself or someone else. The face should be fully visible, and it’s even better if part of the outfit is also shown.

  3. Use the prompt:

Generate a portrait image of a detailed, all-glass gashapon capsule held between two fingers. Inside the capsule is a miniature version of myself, chibi-style and life-size, with the same face as the person in the photo. The chibi character is wearing: [describe clothes and accessories], or simply say ā€œthe same outfit as seen in the uploaded photo.ā€

Make sure the design emphasizes the realism of the capsule and the collectible charm of the chibi figure inside.

Feel free to tweak the prompt—change the pose, add a background, or customize it however you like.
