GPT Image 1.5 vs GPT Image 2

GPT Image 1.5 is OpenAI's image generation model — the same model powering image creation in ChatGPT-4o. It excels at accurate text rendering inside images, image editing with mask-based inpainting, and complex multi-object scenes (10–20 distinct objects). Three quality levels (low/medium/high) let you balance speed and detail. Outputs in PNG, JPEG, or WebP with optional background transparency.

Accurate Text Rendering

Renders legible, correctly spelled text inside images — signs, labels, posters, UI mockups, and book covers without the glitchy text issue.

Image Editing & Inpainting

Edit existing images using mask-based inpainting — replace specific areas, change backgrounds, or add/remove objects while preserving the rest.

Multi-Object Scenes

Generates scenes with 10–20 distinct objects with consistent spatial relationships, accurate details, and world-knowledge integration.

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's next-generation image model with near-perfect text rendering, pixel-level editing precision, and strong photorealism. It accepts up to 16 reference images for image-to-image transformations and generates results in approximately 3 seconds. Ideal for product photography, branded visuals, multilingual creatives, and detailed multi-object compositions.

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.
