How to Generate Ghibli-Style AI Images Using Grok: A Step-By-Step Guide

Recently, a new trend has taken social media by storm: Studio Ghibli Style Illustrations. Yes, you heard it right!

The whole trend started when OpenAI introduced native image generation in its latest AI model, GPT-4o.

Users quickly realized the hype and started transforming their images into animated versions reminiscent of the beloved Japanese animation studio’s signature style. However, this feature is currently limited to paid subscribers of ChatGPT Plus, leaving free users unable to participate in the viral phenomenon.

Now, xAI’s Grok 3 chatbot is emerging as an alternative, allowing users to create Ghibli-style images without a subscription fee. Since Grok is accessible through X, it provides a widely available option for those eager to generate anime-style artwork. As more people experiment with this feature, interest in AI-driven image transformation is rapidly growing.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Open the Grok website or app, or navigate directly to the X app and click on the Grok app.

Step 2: Make sure that Grok is in active mode.

Step 3: Click the paperclip icon in the bottom-left corner to upload the image.

Step 4: Type the command, such as "Transform the image into a Studio Ghibli-Style Illustrations.”

Step 5: Now it is time to see the results! However, if you are not satisfied, you can use Grok's built-in editing tools to change and refine the image.

So, if you have not tried it before, now is the time. You can certainly give it a shot.
