Version 8.3.2 builds on the Showcase launch in 8.3.1 with a smoother sharing flow, clearer creator guidance, and several export and readability fixes.

Showcase improvements

  • Added a first-generation Showcase prompt with example visuals, best-practices guidance, and a direct path into the Showcase composer.
  • Added Showcase onboarding steps for users who have recent generated images, including guidance for building focused galleries and paid prompt recipes.
  • Improved the Showcase composer with best-practices links, and a cleaner share-access section.
  • Added an editable public image prompt or caption for free Showcase pages, while paid pages continue to use the hidden prompt recipe field.
  • Made preview optional: you can publish a Showcase page directly, or open a preview first if you want to review it before publishing.

Export and PDF fixes

  • Improved PDF export rendering for right-to-left and mixed-direction conversations.
  • Improved PDF direction handling for exported text, captions, and printable conversation content.
  • Fixed a Save as PDF preview issue where the print preview could fail to load the selected PDF template.
  • Fixed the export modal's remembered-format behavior so reopening the modal and unchecking one format no longer disables export while other formats are still selected.
  • Made selected export formats and step numbers easier to see in light mode.

Other polish

  • Improved archived-conversation indicators in the sidebar and conversation manager.
  • Improved light-mode readability in settings and export surfaces.

This release is mostly about making Showcase easier to discover and publish with, while tightening up export behavior for long, multilingual, and multi-format workflows.

Superpower ChatGPT showcase shared gallery example

Version 8.3.1 introduces Showcase, a new way to turn ChatGPT images into shareable public pages. Instead of only copying a basic ChatGPT image link, you can now publish one image or a full image gallery with richer context, cleaner presentation, creator notes, prompt details, and optional paid access.

Showcase is built for creators who want their ChatGPT images to be easier to share, discover, revisit, and reuse. You can collect related images into one page, describe what the gallery is about, include a reusable prompt recipe, and give viewers a better experience for browsing, downloading, and learning from the images you created.

For free shares, Showcase gives you a polished image page with title, description, notes, and gallery layouts. For paid shares, you can sell access to the reusable prompt recipe and original download, with seller onboarding built into the flow. It is the first step toward a creator-focused sharing platform for AI images made with ChatGPT.

This version also adds improvements to long PDF exports, and upgrades conversation audio playback with better language handling and more control.
