3. This option allows you to generate images in the Ghibli style (or any other) using the new native image generation feature of GPT-4o.

Finally, Fotor joins the list as a free tool to create Ghibli images. Although you may experience a bit of a wait due to high traffic, Fotor offers various Ghibli effects that will allow you to play with different styles. It’s a fun option for those looking to customize their images and add a unique touch.
