GPT Image 2

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's image model and the best here at following a complicated written instruction exactly. Reach for it when the prompt has many specific requirements that all have to be met.

Why this one

What makes GPT Image 2 different

  1. It reads the whole promptLong instructions with many constraints survive here where other models silently drop half of them.
  2. Good with text in imagesLettering and signage come out legible more often than on most image models.
  3. References supportedUp to 4 stills for identity and style matching.
  4. Eight per runBatch a set from one prompt and choose.
  5. Flat pricingBoth resolution tiers cost the same, so resolution is a quality choice rather than a budget one.
  6. Nine aspect ratiosIncluding an automatic option, covering every common placement.

Use cases

Best for

  • Detailed briefs
  • Images with text
  • Diagrams and layouts
  • Ad creative
  • Editorial illustration
  • Concept boards

Technique

Prompt tips

  1. Write the full briefThis is the model that rewards a long, specific prompt. Do not compress it to a caption.
  2. Number your requirementsA list of constraints is followed more reliably than a paragraph containing the same constraints.
  3. Quote exact textIf a sign or a label has to read a certain way, put it in quotes.
  4. Say what to excludeExplicit exclusions work well here, since it attends to the whole instruction.
  5. Use the higher resolutionThe tiers cost the same, so there is no reason to draft lower.

Mechanism

How GPT Image 2 works

It generates stills from text and up to 4 reference images, with a strong bias toward satisfying every stated requirement rather than producing the most attractive average image. That is the tradeoff worth knowing: it will follow an awkward instruction literally where another model would quietly improve it.

Questions

GPT Image 2 FAQ

Is it good at text in images?
Better than most. Quote the exact wording you need and keep it short.
How many images per run?
Up to 8, which is the practical way to see whether a long, constrained brief is being satisfied consistently.
Does resolution change the price?
No. Both tiers cost the same, so pick on quality alone and never bother drafting at the lower one.
How many references can I give it?
Up to 4 per run, used for identity and for matching an existing set.
When should I use something else?
When you want a beautiful image more than a literal one. The Seedream and Flux models are often more attractive out of the box.
