New Delhi, Dec. 16 -- OpenAI on Tuesday announced the launch of ChatGPT Images, a dedicated image editing and generator tool within the ChatGPT mobile app. In the process, it took a leaf out of the viral Nano Banana, which catapulted Google's Gemini to widespread mainstream popularity earlier this year.

ChatGPT Images will work on OpenAI's latest foundational models through a dedicated 'images' mode, the company said in a statement. It can edit images and generate visuals and illustrations.

The platform comes just over three months after Google released Nano Banana. Within four days of launch, Nano Banana was adopted by 1.3 crore users, Google said on X (formerly Twitter).
