What Is GPT Image 2?

GPT Image 2 — written gpt-image-2 in the API — is OpenAI's image generation model; this page exposes it with the same two modes as the Gemini tiers. GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's image generation model, available here with the same two modes as the Gemini tiers: text to image from a prompt, and image to image with up to 9 uploaded references. Its behaviour is different in one useful way. It treats a prompt as a brief, so statements about placement, hierarchy, negative space and text content are carried into the frame rather than loosely paraphrased.

Settings are also different. Instead of 1K, 2K and 4K, GPT Image 2 uses three quality tiers: low, medium and high. Ratios are 1:1, 3:2 and 2:3, which suit print, editorial and poster frames better than a square-only workflow. Cost scales with both choices: 2 credits at low, 5 to 7 at medium and 17 to 25 at high, with the wider 3:2 and 2:3 frames at the top of each band.

Why Use GPT Image 2 Online?

Most image models are good at subjects and vague about arrangement. GPT Image 2 is the one to reach for when the arrangement is the point: an ad where the headline must sit above the product, a carousel frame that needs clean margins for overlaid text, a poster with a title block and an image window, a mockup where a label lands on a specific face of the box.

Its typography is also its practical advantage. Short strings, wordmarks, badges and price tags are more likely to come back spelled and spaced correctly, which removes a step that used to be done in a design tool. The quality tiers keep that affordable: draft the layout at low quality for 2 credits, move to medium at 5 to 7 once it works, and pay 17 to 25 for the final high-quality pass. If the rendered wording still needs work, Remove Text From Image and Add Outline To Image handle the clean-up.

If you mostly need photographic detail at volume, Gemini 3.1 Flash Image is cheaper per image; for maximum detail on text and materials, compare with Gemini 3 Pro Image. The Flash vs GPT Image 2 comparison lays out the tradeoffs.

3 Steps

How to Use GPT Image 2 in 3 Steps

Write the brief, set the frame and the quality tier, then generate. Three decisions, one run.
1

Write the Brief, Add References

Say what goes where, not only what is in the image: headline position, product placement, background, empty space, exact wording. Upload up to 9 reference images (JPG, PNG or WEBP, 5MB each) when a real product or character must appear.
2

Set Ratio and Quality

Choose 1:1, 3:2 or 2:3, then low, medium or high. Low costs 2 credits, medium 5 to 7, high 17 to 25, so it is cheap to test a layout before paying for the final frame.
3

Generate and Download

Generate, check the text spelling and the layout balance at full size, then download. If a word or an alignment is wrong, edit the prompt and run again rather than fixing it later.

GPT Image 2 Features

What this model does differently from the Gemini tiers, and which settings control the cost.

Composition Instructions Obeyed

Placement, hierarchy and negative space described in the prompt are treated as constraints, which makes it usable for ads, posters and UI mockups instead of only illustrations.

Typography That Holds Up

Headlines, labels, badges and short price copy come back more often spelled and kerned correctly. Always confirm the exact wording at full size before publishing.

1:1, 3:2 and 2:3 Frames

Square for product and social, 3:2 for editorial and web banners, 2:3 for posters, book covers and vertical print. No cropping needed to fit a layout.

Image to Image with References

Attach up to 9 images so the model composes around a real product, person or brand element instead of inventing one from the prompt alone.

Three Quality Tiers

Low for layout tests at 2 credits, medium for review copies at 5 to 7, high for the final asset at 17 to 25. Cost stays proportional to the decision you are making.

From 2 Credits per Image

The cheapest single generation on this site. Low-quality square frames start at 2 credits, so exploring a series of layouts costs very little.

Cost and Limits at a Glance

GPT Image 2 is priced by quality tier rather than pixel size. These are the real numbers behind the controls.

2-25 Credits per image, from low to high quality, wider ratios at the top of each band
