Users report that ChatGPT's image editing feature unexpectedly adds filters, distorting facial features and creating an undesirable 'cartoonish' appearance. This occurs despite users specifically requesting only lighting enhancements. The issue is present in version 1.2026.209.

“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.258) — pls fix the picture quality, it’s too polished and looks to ai generated and nothing like my actual skin. It also changes my entire face and sometimes fully unrecognizable”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.258) — It changes faces a lot as well as doesn’t follow instructions at times.”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.258) — It changes features when I tell it not to- on faces”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.230) — The image filters are extremely inconsistent. It creates a picture one minute then refuses the same picture, maybe with a hair color change or eye color change only. Same person. Same image. Just a simple color change causes it to reject the image. Very random and arbitrary filters that are very unreliable.”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.230) — It is making face change n a bit older than original pic”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.224) — Anytime I upload a photo to ChatGPT and ask them “don’t change the people! don’t change any facial features. Just remove some of the clutter or fix the lighting or something!” ChatGPT literally comes up with an edited photo in which the subjects are unrecognizable — their actual appearance is unrecognizable. It’s like a different face is put on the subject. It’s awful and sometimes it’s well frustrating”
