OpenAI's ChatGPT provides an "image library" function that allows you to automatically save and manage generated images. This function is very useful when you want to review the entire image later in a list, or when you want to re-edit or reuse it later, without having to save or download it each time you generate an image.
In this article, we will explain in detail the basic usage of the image library and how to delete images.

Points to note when using the library
ChatGPT's image library is a convenient feature that allows you to centrally manage generated images. However, there are some caveats.
Displayed in the library are:Only images created with the image generation function of GPT-4ois.
Images generated with older versions of DALL·E will not be displayed in the library.
Images created in the past are added to the library one by one, soMay not appear immediately.
To delete an image, you must delete the entire conversation.
summary
ChatGPT's image library is automatically saved and managed every time an image is generated, so it is a very convenient feature for reviewing, re-editing, and reusing images later. This will greatly improve work efficiency, especially for users who use images on a daily basis.
On the other hand, please note that the displayed images are limited to those generated by GPT-4o, and that deleting images requires operations for each conversation. If you understand and utilize these features, you should be able to enjoy a more comfortable image generation experience.
