Why GPT Image 2 Changes AI Image Generation

GPT Image 2 is a strong all-rounder at a low price. It is especially good when the image has to match a precise brief: exact wording, interface layouts, or a neutral, true-to-life color look.

  • Reasons before rendering

    It plans the image from your prompt first, so complex instructions and layouts come out closer to what you asked for.

  • Text in Latin and CJK scripts

    Headlines, labels and interface copy render cleanly in English as well as Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

  • Neutral, natural color

    No default warm or yellow cast — photos and product shots keep true-to-life tones.

  • Low cost

    4 credits per image at 1K, 6 at 2K and 8 at 4K — the lowest price among the image models featured here.

What GPT Image 2 can do

  • Text to image

    Detailed briefs with several requirements are followed closely, from composition to wording.

  • Edit with up to 16 references

    The most references of any model here: combine products, people and style images in one edit.

  • UI and app mockups

    Generate believable screens, dashboards and landing page concepts with readable interface text.

  • Posters and infographics

    Layouts with headlines, body copy and labels that stay legible.

  • Photorealism

    Natural light, skin and materials with neutral color for lifestyle and product photography.

  • 16 aspect ratios

    From 1:1 and 16:9 to 2:1, 3:1, 1:3, 21:9 and 9:21, or Auto — at 1K, 2K or 4K.
