1. Open ChatGPT
To begin, simply visit ChatGPT.com on your brower or use the ChatGPT mobile app.
2. Upload a photo
Choose a high-resolution photo of yourself.
If you want your Chibi figure to capture your fulll outfit and accessories, it's best to opt for a full-body image.
3. Write a clear prompt
To create your figure, make sure you give ChatGPT a clear description of what you want, including outfit, pose, and hairstyle.

For example, TechRadar suggests the following prompt:
Generate a portrait-oriented image of a realistic, full-glass gashapon capsule being held between two fingers.
Inside the capsule is a Chibi-style, full-figure miniature version of the person in the uploaded photo.
The Chibi figure should:
- Closely resemble the person in the photo (face, hairstyle, etc.)
- Wear the same outfit as seen in the uploaded photo
- Be in a pose inspired by the chosen theme
4. Review and adjust your image
