GPT Image 2

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's next-generation image model with near-perfect text rendering, pixel-level editing precision, and strong photorealism.

Near-Perfect Text Rendering
Renders legible, correctly spelled text inside images — signs, labels, multilingual creatives, UI mockups — with higher accuracy than any previous generation.
Pixel-Level Editing
Precise image editing with preserved lighting, shadows, and textures — replace objects, refine backgrounds, and apply changes without visual artifacts.
Up to 16 Reference Images
Supply up to 16 reference images to guide transformations — maintain brand identity, character consistency, or style across generations.
Fast ~3 Second Generation
Generates images in approximately 3 seconds — fast enough for interactive workflows, live previews, and high-volume production pipelines.
