OpenAI‘s latest update to ChatGPT adds a much-needed image library feature that solves a persistent pain point for users creating AI-generated images. Until now, finding previously generated images meant tediously scrolling through conversation history or downloading images immediately after creation. The new centralized library automatically stores and organizes all images created with the ChatGPT 4o model, making image management significantly more streamlined for regular users.

1. How to access the image library

  • Log in to your ChatGPT account and look for “Library” in the left-hand navigation sidebar.
  • The library entry displays the total count of images you’ve created so far.
  • Upon opening, all images appear in reverse chronological order with the most recent creations first.
  • Click any image to view an enlarged version and use arrow buttons to browse your collection in a carousel-style interface.

2. Key features available in the library

  • Automatic image titles: ChatGPT generates descriptive titles for each image based on its content.
  • Edit functionality: Each image includes an “Edit image” button that reopens your creation in the generation interface for additional adjustments.
  • Direct image creation: You can generate new images directly within the library by clicking “Create Image” in the top right corner.

3. Current limitations of the system

  • No direct links back to original conversations where images were created.
  • The library lacks a dedicated delete button—to remove an image, you must delete the entire conversation it came from.

4. Implementation significance

  • This update addresses a frequently requested feature from users who regularly create AI-generated images.
  • The chronological organization and automatic titling significantly improves image discoverability and management.
  • The ability to edit existing images allows for iterative creative workflows without starting from scratch.
