What GPT Image 2 Does

GPT Image 2 is a state-of-the-art text-to-image generation model that turns text prompts into detailed, photorealistic images. It natively supports ultra-high resolution output up to 4K, making it a strong default choice whenever you need high-quality, true-to-life visuals.

Key Features

• Photorealistic Quality: Excels at producing detailed, lifelike images with accurate textures, lighting, and composition.
• Native 4K Resolution: Supports ultra-high resolution output up to 3840x2160 (and 2160x3840) without external upscaling.
• Flexible Sizes & Orientations: Offers square, landscape, and portrait sizes from 1024x1024 up to 2048x2048 and 4K formats.
• Selectable Quality Tiers: Choose low for fast drafts, medium for balance, or high for best fidelity.
• Long, Detailed Prompts: Accepts prompts up to 32,000 characters for richly specified scenes.
• Asynchronous Architecture: Uses a “Create Task → Poll Result” API workflow for reliable, scalable generation.

How to Use GPT Image 2

1. Write a detailed text prompt describing the subject, style, lighting, and composition you want.
2. Submit a POST request to the /api/v1/openai/gpt-image-2 endpoint with your prompt and optional size and quality parameters.
3. Receive a task_id with a “pending” or “processing” status in the response.
4. Poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} to monitor progress.
5. Once the task succeeds, retrieve and download the generated image.

Best Use Cases

• Photorealistic Marketing Visuals: Create high-fidelity product, lifestyle, and campaign imagery.
• Editorial & Concept Art: Generate detailed scenes and illustrations at print-ready 4K resolution.
• Hero & Banner Imagery: Produce large-format visuals for websites and ads without upscaling artifacts.
• Design Mockups: Visualize realistic environments, packaging, and scenes for client presentations.

Tips for Better Results

• Don’t Use It for Transparent Backgrounds: GPT Image 2 has no background: transparent support — for icons or UI assets, route to GPT Image 1.5 instead.
• Draft Low, Finalize High: Iterate with quality: low for speed, then re-run your best prompt at quality: high.
• Match Size to Output: Pick a size that fits the final placement (e.g., 1536x1024 landscape, 1024x1536 portrait, 3840x2160 for 4K).
• Be Specific About Realism: Describe lighting, materials, camera lens, and mood to maximize photorealistic fidelity.
• Use the Long Prompt Window: Take advantage of the large character limit to fully specify complex scenes rather than leaving details to chance.

• openai/gpt-image-2-edit: [Core Function] GPT Image 2 Edit is a high-resolution image-to-image editing model. [Strengths] It excels at making high-fidelity edits and style transformations to a single source image based on a text prompt, preserving details at up to 4K resolutions. [Best For] Highly recommended for: professional photo retouching, upscaling style transfers, and modifying high-resolution concept art. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model for multi-image merging (it only accepts one input image). Do NOT use if you need precise input fidelity control or transparent backgrounds. [Routing] Use this model by default when the user wants to edit a single image and prioritize output resolution/quality. If they need to merge multiple images or control the strictness of the edit (fidelity), use GPT Image 1.5 Edit.

[Best For] Highly recommended for: photorealistic stills, marketing posters with readable text, detailed scene compositions, multi-panel layouts, product hero shots, and multi-variant creative exploration (n up to 6). [Limitations] Do NOT use this if the user needs native 4K output, thinking-mode reasoning, or image editing with reference images (use Qwen Image 3.0 Pro Edit for edits). Keep total pixels within 512512 to 2048*2048. Very long prompts combined with a long negative_prompt may exceed the model input capacity (about 4.5k tokens total). [Routing] Prefer this over Qwen Image 2.0 Pro for new Qwen Image text-to-image work. If the user provides reference image(s) to edit, route to Qwen Image 3.0 Pro Edit instead.
• microsoft/mai-image-2.6: [Core Function] MAI Image 2.6 is Microsoft’s latest text-to-image generation model in the MAI Image family. [Strengths] It improves text rendering, portraits, 3D imagery, and commercial photorealistic output compared with MAI Image 2.5. [Best For] Highly recommended for: marketing visuals, product hero shots, portraits, and prompts that need accurate on-image text. [Limitations] Do NOT use this if the requested width or height is below 768, or if width x height exceeds 1,048,576 pixels.
