Images 2.6 adds GIFs; Hong Kong and Macau remain outside supported regions
ChatGPT GIFs are rolling out. Taiwan is listed, while generation limits and API charges still apply.
OpenAI introduced Images 2.6 on November 4 for ChatGPT, Codex and the API. ChatGPT GIF creation is rolling out, alongside reusable saved reference images. The API offers Flare, Sunburst, markup-guided editing and SVG output.
The announcement covers subscription tiers on desktop, mobile and web, subject to service-region rules: Taiwan is on the ChatGPT and API lists; Hong Kong and Macau are not officially supported regions. Free image generation has separate limits. Both API models currently have a standard rate of US$30 per million image-output tokens, plus input costs, not a flat per-image price. Local checkout totals and GIF quotas are unverified.
Chinese UI settings are documented, but feature-specific Traditional Chinese UI, rendered Traditional Chinese text and Cantonese prompts have not been verified. Not product-tested.
