Unlike diffusion-only models, the model thinks before it draws. Complex prompts with 100+ distinct elements stay visually coherent and on-brief.
Upload a Reference Image
Drag in any photo or artwork to guide the model. It preserves composition, characters, and product details while transforming the style or scene exactly as you prompt. Clean, high-resolution inputs produce the sharpest results.
Supports PNG, JPG, WebP up to 24MB

Square, portrait, landscape, or wide cinema framings — all rendered at up to 2K resolution.
Photo-Realistic Scenes from GPT Image 2
Need a catalog shot, a food-styling hero image, or a brand lifestyle scene? The model renders realistic lighting, accurate reflections, and faithful material textures — skin, glass, fabric, food — without the plastic look earlier generators produced. The native reasoning layer preserves anatomy and product details even in dense compositions, so your product remains on-model no matter how elaborate the scene around it.
Photo-realistic scene rendered from a text promptCrisp Text & Multi-Language Typography
The model topped the Image Arena leaderboard by a 242-point margin largely because it finally renders text correctly. Menus, posters, product labels, comic speech bubbles, UI mockups — it handles Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic scripts cleanly, with correct kerning and mixed-script layouts. No more garbled signage or half-formed letters in hero images.
Multi-language text rendered accuratelyStylistic Control with GPT Image 2
Pixel art, manga, oil painting, watercolor, film still, cyberpunk, low-poly 3D — the model treats style instructions as first-class. Instead of the generic AI look, you get a faithful interpretation of the reference genre. Combine that with 2K resolution output and you have a complete illustration studio in a single prompt, with enough control for art directors and enough forgiveness for first-time users.

GPT Image 2 FAQ
Common questions about GPT Image 2, OpenAI's next-generation image model.
01What is GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's next-generation image generation model, released on April 21, 2026. It is the first OpenAI image model with native reasoning capabilities built into the architecture, which is why it handles complex prompts, multi-language text, and detailed compositions far better than previous models. Outputs go up to 2K resolution and cover styles from photorealism to pixel art.
02How is GPT Image 2 different from DALL-E or GPT-4o image generation?
Earlier OpenAI image tools relied on diffusion-style generation without a dedicated reasoning layer. The new model thinks through the composition before drawing, which dramatically improves text rendering, complex scenes with many distinct objects, and style fidelity. On the Image Arena leaderboard, it opened with a +242-point lead within 12 hours — the largest margin in the benchmark's history.
03Can it render text in Chinese, Japanese, or Arabic?
Yes. Accurate multi-language text rendering is one of its headline features. The model handles Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic scripts, including mixed-script layouts like bilingual menus, posters, product packaging, and UI mockups — something older models consistently broke on.
04Do I need an OpenAI subscription to use this tool?
No. You can access the model directly through our platform using credits from any plan — no separate OpenAI account required. Our backend handles model access and scaling so you can focus on prompts and outputs instead of API billing.
05Is my uploaded reference image kept private?
Yes. Your reference images are processed only to generate your output and are not used for training or shared publicly. You own the images you create, subject to OpenAI's usage terms for generated content.
