GPT Image 2
photoreal text-to-image

GPT Image 2 is the current-generation text-to-image model powering GPTimage.com. Stronger photorealism, sharper text rendering, and better prompt fidelity than GPT Image 1.5 — at the same fast render speed users expect.

What GPT Image 2 does well

A single model that covers most modern image-generation needs.

Photorealism
Studio portraits, product shots, and editorial photography come out clean and convincing — skin detail, fabric texture, and lighting all hold up under inspection.
Text in images
Renders short headlines, labels, and signage cleanly. A meaningful upgrade over earlier models that struggled with anything beyond a few characters.
Style range
Photoreal, illustration, vector, isometric, retro print, anime, watercolor — one prompt vocabulary, many art directions.
Prompt fidelity
Holds onto specifics — subject pose, camera angle, color palette, props — across re-runs. Less prompt engineering, more iterating on ideas.
Speed
~2 second renders on the studio's default settings. Fast enough that you stay in flow while iterating, slow enough to keep quality high.
Aspect ratios
Square, landscape (4:3, 16:9), portrait (3:4, 9:16). Pick what fits the deliverable; the model composes for the chosen frame.

Should you still use GPT Image 1.5?

For most people, GPT Image 2 is the better default — it's the same speed envelope with stronger output. The previous-generation model still has a place when you want to iterate at the absolute lowest latency on rough drafts and aren't worried about photoreal polish.
