In this video, I’m going to share something I think you’ll find pretty amazing. I used ChatGPT’s most advanced image model (GPT Image 1) to generate images in 100 completely unique styles. The results genuinely blew me away. From anime classics like Dragon Ball and The Simpsons to vaporwave, cyberpunk, medical illustration, and even obscure formats like fractal art and optical illusions—every style turned into a crisp, creative image.
If you’ve been stuck generating images one at a time through the ChatGPT web app, you know the pain. It’s slow, inconsistent, and often frustrating. I’ve had times where I asked for a landscape image three different ways and still got a portrait output. Quality also fluctuates—sometimes great, sometimes disappointingly low.
So instead of settling for that, I built a workflow using the ChatGPT API plus automation. With just a few lines of Python, I was able to generate an entire batch of 100 styles at once—200 images in under an hour. And with a bit more optimization, it’s totally realistic to generate the same batch in under 10 minutes. That’s the power of automation.
Reviewing the Styles
Let’s start with the first 20 styles: surrealism, Studio Ghibli, Lego style, Muppet style, paper cut collage, origami, South Park, cyberpunk, vaporwave, pixel art, glitch art, synthwave, wireframe, botanical illustration, underwater scene, celestial theme, desert mirage, volcanic eruption, and aurora borealis.
From there, I expanded into another 40: snowy tundra, coral reef, medieval tapestry, steampunk, dragon’s lair, elven forest, gothic cathedral, mythological creatures, Simpsons, Family Guy, Dragon Ball Z, Rick and Morty, Adventure Time, Futurama, graffiti art, tattoo flash, medical illustration, fashion sketches, and many more.
These styles aren’t random—they came from a carefully crafted prompt I fed to ChatGPT:
“Give me a curated list of the 100 most popular and high-quality visual styles for ChatGPT-generated images. The list should reflect current trends, artistic diversity, and be widely appreciated across digital art platforms.”
This gave me a strong foundation for both creative variety and technical consistency.
Building the Workflow
On the backend, my project folder included:
- automate.py – the script for generating entirely new images
- automate_edit.py – for creating consistent characters across multiple images
- 100_styles_1.json – the master list of prompts for each style
- all_prompts_here.json – the working JSON file used by the script
Each style had two unique prompts, each at least 5 sentences long, with detailed creative direction. To make the dataset easier to organize, I formatted file names sequentially (e.g., 001_surrealism.png, 002_studio_ghibli.png).
This step is crucial. With filenames structured properly, my team can drop them straight into content pipelines for YouTube videos, digital products, or even training sets without needing to rename or reorganize anything.
How to Create the JSON Prompt File
Here’s the simple process anyone can use:
- Ask ChatGPT for 100–200 styles with diversity and trends in mind.
- For each style, ask it to generate two distinct prompts of 5+ sentences.
- Have ChatGPT export the results into JSON format, with fields for style, prompt, and filename.
- Drop that JSON into your working directory.
- Run
python automate.py createand watch ChatGPT generate hundreds of images automatically.
Want filenames auto-mapped? Just tell ChatGPT: “Add a filename field in the format 001_style_name through 200_style_name into the JSON file.” With that, everything stays consistent from JSON to final outputs.
Final Thoughts
What makes this process exciting isn’t just the 200 images I generated—it’s the fact that it’s scalable, automated, and replicable. Instead of getting stuck copying others’ prompts or relying on slow, inconsistent web generation, you can build a system that produces unique, high-quality images at scale.
This is the kind of pipeline that saves you time, reduces frustration, and creates an asset library you can actually use to grow your YouTube channel, personal brand, or creative business.
If you’d like the full Python scripts and JSON files I use, or want to learn how to expand this to 500+ styles, I’m sharing everything with my community members. But even if you stick with what I’ve shown here, you’ll have more than enough to start producing standout content today.
