Why can't GPTs have a logo anymore?

I’m trying to upload an icon to my GPTs, but I keep getting an error.

It also looks like the automatic profile picture generator is gone.

Why is this happening? Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

This is an ongoing and persistent unaddressed issue.

There is one workaround: chat with the builder when you upload a file there.

The GPT builder AI under “create” has an internal method of setting the profile image, among the other fields it can directly write to and replace in order to give you a simulation you are “building an AI model” that might have convinced people in 2023:

// Update the GPT's behavior. You may omit selectively update fields.
// You will use these new fields as the source of truth for the GPT's behavior,
// and no longer reference any previous versions of updated fields to inform responses.
type update_behavior = (_: {
  // The GPT's name. This cannot be longer than 40 characters long.
  // DO NOT camel case; Use spaces for compound words; spaces are accepted.
  // DO NOT USE CAMEL CASE.
  name?: string,

  // Behavior context. Self-contained and complete set of instructions
  // for how this GPT should respond, and include anything extra that
  // the user has given, such as pasted-in text.
  // This cannot be longer than 8000 characters long.
  context?: string,

  // A short description of the GPT's behavior, from the style, tone,
  // and perspective of the GPT. This cannot be longer than 100 characters long.
  description?: string,

  // A list of 4 example user prompts that a user would send to the GPT.
  // These prompts are directly targeted to evoke responses from the GPT
  // that would exemplify its unique behavior.
  prompt_starters?: string[],

  // ✅ If the user has uploaded an image to be used as a profile picture,
  // set this to the File ID specified as the profile picture.
  // Do not call this for generated profile pics.
  // ONLY call this for images uploaded by the user.
  profile_pic_file_id?: string,
}) => any;

It actually takes a double-click in the chat input “plus” icon to launch the browser’s file explorer to get an image. Pick one ideally 512x512 that is ready for use as is, and can be displayed in a circle frame.

Thank you very much!

I uploaded an image in the Create tab and asked it to turn it into an icon—works great.

Sometimes I don’t even give a prompt; I just upload and send the image without any prompt and it automatically becomes a profile icon.

Thanks again.
