GPT Image for Product Photography
Lifestyle scenes without the photo studio
Describe your product on a sunlit kitchen counter or a Tokyo street corner and the model returns it in seconds. Swap backgrounds, colorways, and seasons across your whole SKU catalog without another shoot. Text labels and logos stay legible, which is where most other generators break.
GPT Image for Social and Ads
Scroll-stopping graphics with real copy
Write the headline you want in the prompt and it lands in the image correctly. Build Instagram carousels, TikTok covers, YouTube thumbnails, and paid ad creative without handing anything to a designer. Consistent brand colors and fonts across a whole campaign.
GPT Image for Designers and Docs
Infographics, diagrams, and UI mockups
Feed the model a rough description of a dashboard, a process diagram, or a pitch-deck slide. It lays out the boxes, arrows, and labels with accurate text. Content teams use it to ship visuals faster than a designer's calendar allows.
GPT Image for Precise Editing
Change one thing. Leave the rest alone.
Upload a reference photo and name the edit in plain English. The model keeps facial likeness, lighting, and composition consistent across multiple rounds. Great for product variant renders, headshot cleanups, and A/B testing creatives without re-shooting.
What is GPT Image?
OpenAI's native multimodal image generator
GPT Image is OpenAI's native image generation model family, built on GPT-4o. It powers image creation inside OpenAI's web product and ships to developers through the OpenAI API. Unlike older diffusion tools, the model understands language the way GPT does, so prompts behave like natural conversation instead of incantation. Photorealistic portraits, vector-style illustrations, 4K posters, editable UI mockups, and infographics all come out of one model. Two generations exist today — GPT Image 1.5 for production use, and GPT Image 2 in early testing. This page runs the latest available version so you get current-generation quality without waiting for an API key.
Clean Text Inside Images
It writes readable words, not letter-soup. Use it for posters, product labels, social graphics, and UI mockups where typography actually has to land.

Edits That Keep the Rest
Upload a photo and ask for a change. It rewrites only the part you named and keeps lighting, faces, and composition intact across multiple rounds.

World Knowledge Built In
Because GPT Image shares the GPT-4 backbone, it knows what a MacBook, a Tesla Cybertruck, or a Renaissance painting actually looks like. Fewer wrong details to fix, more usable output first try.

Photoreal and Stylized
One GPT Image model covers photorealism, 3D, anime, illustration, vector, and data-viz styles. Resolution goes up to 4096×4096 for print-ready work.

Text-to-Image and Image-to-Image
Start from a blank prompt, a reference photo, or a masked region. It handles inpainting, variation, and style transfer in a single workflow.

How to Use GPT Image
From prompt to final image in four steps
1
01Write Your Prompt
Describe the scene, subject, and any text you want rendered inside the image. GPT Image reads natural language the way GPT does, so detailed briefs work well.
2
02Upload a Reference (Optional)
Drop in a product photo, a headshot, or a mockup if you want GPT Image to edit it instead of starting from scratch. Mask the exact region you want changed.
3
03Pick Quality and Size
Choose low, medium, or high quality and pick an aspect ratio from square to widescreen. GPT Image outputs up to 4K when you need print-ready files.
4
04Download and Iterate
Results return in about 5 to 8 seconds per image. Refine the prompt, adjust the mask, or swap reference photos and rerun — every render lands in My Creations with 7-day retention.
The GPT Image Model Family
Every public version of GPT Image since launch
OpenAI ships GPT Image updates every few months. This grid covers what is in production today and what the community is testing on LM Arena.
gpt-image-1 (April 2025)
First public release. Up to 4096×4096 resolution. Strong at text rendering and world knowledge from day one, priced at $40 per million output image tokens via OpenAI's API.
gpt-image-1-mini (October 2025)
Cost-optimized GPT Image variant launched at OpenAI DevDay. Roughly 80% cheaper than the base model while keeping the same core quality for drafts and bulk jobs.
gpt-image-2 (December 2025)
The current flagship release. Four times faster at 5 to 8 seconds per image, 20% cheaper, and holds facial likeness across five-plus rounds of edits.
GPT Image 2 (in testing)
OpenAI's next GPT Image model briefly appeared on LM Arena in April 2026 under the codenames maskingtape, packingtape, and gaffertape. No public release date yet.
Multi-Turn Editing
GPT Image holds visual consistency across five or more rounds of edits. Ask for a different background, then different lighting, then different framing — each step builds on the last.
Text Rendering Benchmark
Tops independent text-in-image benchmarks. Short headlines render cleanly. Long paragraphs over 20 words still show occasional typos — use for headline copy, logos, and labels where accuracy matters.
