What Is the ChatGPT Caricature Trend?

The ChatGPT caricature trend exploded in February 2026. Users discovered that with a simple prompt and a photo, ChatGPT could generate a funny, exaggerated caricature of anyone—highlighting facial features, personality traits, and even their profession.

Several key features contributed to the trend’s rapid popularity:

Why It Went Viral

This trend became popular because it combines fun, creativity, and identity. People love seeing themselves reimagined in ways that a traditional caricature artist would do—but in seconds and digitally shareable.

How to Join the Trend (Step-by-Step)

Follow these steps to create your own ChatGPT caricature using the viral prompt:

  1. Prepare Your Photo: Choose a clear, front-facing headshot. Good lighting helps the AI capture your facial features accurately.
  2. Use the Viral Prompt: Copy this prompt into ChatGPT (or your preferred AI image tool): “Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me.” This tells the AI to exaggerate your identity, personality, and profession in a humorous style.
  3. Add Details for Customization: Enhance the prompt with your profession or tools of the trade, personality traits (funny, serious, energetic, calm), optional hobbies or props, and style preferences (cartoonish, hand-drawn, 3D, etc.).
  4. Generate Your Caricature: Click Generate or submit the prompt. You can try multiple variations to see different exaggerations and styles.
  5. Share or Save: Use your AI caricature as a profile picture, social media story, or gift. The fun, exaggerated style is perfect for engagement and virality.

The ChatGPT caricature trend exploded in February 2026, allowing users to generate humorous, exaggerated portraits based on what the AI knows about them from previous conversations. ChatGPT analyzes your traits, personality hints, and even job-related information to create a detailed caricature prompt. The popular trend prompt is: "Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me."

ChatGPT itself cannot directly generate images, but it can create text prompts for caricature generation. These prompts can then be used in AI image generators like MyEdit to produce fully customized, over-the-top caricatures in various styles.

To join the trend, you provide ChatGPT with a prompt describing the person, their personality, job, or signature gestures. For example: "Describe a fun caricature of me as a chef with exaggerated features and playful expression". You can then use this prompt in an AI image generator like MyEdit to instantly visualize the caricature.

While several AI image generators can create caricatures, MyEdit stands out for its flexibility and multiple specialized models. For playful, exaggerated results, the Nano Banana model excels in creating vibrant, cartoonish caricatures, while other models allow realistic, 3D, or stylized outputs.

A good caricature prompt includes:

  • Reference traits: facial features, hairstyle, or clothing
  • Personality or expression: playful, dramatic, mischievous, calm, etc.
  • Props or context: job tools, accessories, or environment
  • Desired style: cartoon, 3D, graffiti, Nano Banana, etc.
You can then copy this prompt into MyEdit or another AI image generator to create your personalized caricature.

Start by uploading a reference photo of the person. Then, choose an AI model (like Nano Banana for cartoonish effects) and enter your caricature prompt describing the pose, expression, props, and style. Click Generate in MyEdit to create a fun, exaggerated caricature instantly.
