OPENAI IMAGE GENERATION MODEL

GPT Image 2

Quality-first image generation for readable text, product stills and controlled edits.

Use GPT Image 2 when the still needs precise text, product-label fidelity, quality controls, custom sizes or mask-guided edits from reference images.

How to write a strong GPT Image 2 prompt

Use structured prompts with scene, subject, exact text, visual details, use case, and constraints.

Tip: put exact words in quotation marks and describe where each text block should appear.

How GPT Image 2 uses sources and masks

Text-to-image

Specify subject, exact text, layout, lighting, lens and output size.

Image edit

Upload the source image and describe what should change and what must stay locked.

Mask-guided edit

Use a mask only when an edit should be constrained to a specific region.

Quality choice

Draft lower, then switch to high when typography or product detail matters.

Batch variants

Generate multiple images for composition exploration before selecting a final.

Global principles

  • State the target artifact: poster, product photo, UI screen, infographic, or concept frame.
  • Give exact text when typography matters.
  • For edits, separate preserve instructions from change instructions.

Engine quirks / what to watch for

  • The model is especially useful when text and layout accuracy are part of the image brief.
  • Quality affects cost, so draft cheaper and rerun approved frames at High.
  • Reference edits improve when each source image has a clear role.

4K product-page hero still, black smartphone on graphite surface, readable screen text, controlled reflection, premium studio lighting, negative space on the right.

Before you generate

Prepare the source before the GPT Image 2 render

If the render needs a reliable product source, exact text or a mask, prepare that input before launching GPT Image 2.

Tips and limits

GPT Image 2 performs best when the prompt separates subject, composition, exact text, and constraints.

What works best

  • Use High quality for typography and product-final renders.
  • Use Low or Medium for cheaper layout exploration.
  • For edit prompts, write what should change and what must remain unchanged.
  • When using a mask URL, keep the mask public and aligned with the source image.

Hard limits to keep in mind

  • Still images only.
  • The MaxVideoAI composer currently allows up to 4 outputs per request.
  • Edit mode requires at least one reference image.
  • Mask input is URL-based.
