The internet is filled with new Ghibli-style images generated by ChatGPT. And why should it not be? It only takes a few seconds and a two-line prompt, and the results are mindblowing. The images look very appealing. However, some users have gone beyond the trend and have started animating their Ghibli-style images.
The animated version of Ghibli’s style image looks even better than the static image. Though creating a video version of the image is easy, many users are not aware of how to do it since it’s not as straightforward as generating the image. But don’t worry, YTechB won’t let you down.
We have written a comprehensive guide to help you create video or animation versions of Ghibli-style images.
