Greater Precision and Control
OpenAI describes GPT Image 2 as a step change in detailed instruction following. The model is designed to place and relate objects more accurately, preserve layout intent, and handle denser text inside the image itself. That makes it more practical for posters, explainers, magazine spreads, and other structured visual outputs where composition and legibility matter.
GPT Image 2 — Stronger Across Languages
Stronger Across Languages
OpenAI says GPT Image 2 makes significant gains beyond English and other Latin-script languages, especially for non-Latin text rendering. The goal is not just translating a label or two, but generating coherent posters, diagrams, and comics where language is part of the design. That makes the model more usable for multilingual campaigns, regional creative work, and globally distributed products.

Stylistic Sophistication and Realism
OpenAI positions GPT Image 2 as more faithful across a wide range of visual styles, from photography and cinematic stills to illustration, manga, and graphic design. The emphasis is not only on realism, but on capturing the defining characteristics of a requested medium with stronger consistency in texture, lighting, composition, and fine detail.

Flexible Aspect Ratios and Real-World Intelligence
In OpenAI's launch materials, GPT Image 2 supports outputs as wide as 3:1 and as tall as 1:3, making it easier to adapt a concept for banners, presentations, posters, mobile screens, and social placements. OpenAI also highlights more up-to-date world knowledge, with a December 2025 knowledge cutoff, to help with explainers, maps, educational graphics, and other context-sensitive visual work.

Getting Started
How to Create AI Images with GPT Image 2
1
Start from Prompt or Image
GPT Image 2 accepts text prompts for generation and image inputs for editing. OpenAI's API docs position it for fast, high-quality image creation as well as iterative edit workflows.
2
Specify Layout, Style, and Language
Describe the composition, aspect ratio, visual medium, and any embedded copy you need. OpenAI's launch materials emphasize gains in structured layouts, dense text, multilingual rendering, and style fidelity.
3
Iterate Toward the Final Asset
Use follow-up edits to refine the result. GPT Image 2 is designed for workflows where you need to preserve composition intent, improve detail, or adapt a concept into new formats and campaign variants.

Use Cases
What You Can Create with GPT Image 2
From social content to professional workflows, see how creators and teams are using AI image generation across industries.
Editorial Layouts and Infographics
Dense, readable layouts are one of the clearest launch themes for GPT Image 2. That makes it a strong fit for explainers, magazine spreads, visual reports, and poster-style knowledge work where design and information density need to coexist.
Multilingual Campaigns
OpenAI specifically highlights stronger rendering across non-Latin writing systems including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, and Bengali. This is useful for regional campaign creative, localized posters, and product visuals that need language to feel native to the design.
Brand and Product Marketing
The launch examples include polished commercial compositions with lifestyle framing, packaging, typography, and product storytelling. GPT Image 2 is aimed at workflows that need product hero shots, social assets, launch posters, and campaign variations without switching tools.
Educational and Research Visuals
OpenAI positions GPT Image 2 as stronger on real-world intelligence and context-aware explainers. That makes it useful for maps, summaries, educational graphics, and other visuals where correctness, legibility, and structure all matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about GPT Image 2.
What is GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's state-of-the-art image generation model, announced on April 21, 2026. In the API it is available as `gpt-image-2`, and OpenAI describes it as a major step forward in fast, high-quality image generation and editing, with stronger instruction following, dense text rendering, multilingual support, and broader visual fidelity.
How does GPT Image 2 compare with GPT Image 1.5?
OpenAI positions GPT Image 2 above GPT Image 1.5 on overall capability. The launch materials emphasize more precise layouts, stronger dense-text rendering, larger gains beyond Latin-script languages, more faithful styles, wider aspect-ratio flexibility, and updated world knowledge. OpenAI's pricing page also lists slightly lower image-output pricing for GPT Image 2: $30 per 1M output image tokens versus $32 for GPT Image 1.5.
Does GPT Image 2 support image editing?
Yes. OpenAI's model page lists text and image as inputs and image as the output, and it explicitly positions GPT Image 2 for both image generation and image editing. OpenAI also highlights support for high-fidelity image inputs in the API documentation.
How good is GPT Image 2 at text-heavy layouts?
Dense text is one of the core themes in OpenAI's launch materials and system card. OpenAI describes GPT Image 2 as a major step forward in rendering detailed layouts and text-heavy compositions such as explainers, posters, and editorial spreads, where legibility and visual structure are both important.
Does GPT Image 2 handle non-English text well?
OpenAI says GPT Image 2 makes significant gains beyond English and other Latin-script languages, especially for Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, and Bengali. The claim is not just that it can translate labels, but that it can generate coherent visual designs where multilingual text is part of the composition.
What does OpenAI mean by 'real-world intelligence'?
In the launch materials, OpenAI says GPT Image 2 brings a more up-to-date understanding of the world into image creation, with a knowledge cutoff of December 2025. The intended benefit is more contextually accurate explainers, maps, educational graphics, and visual summaries.
Is ChatGPT Images 2.0 thinking mode the same thing as the GPT Image 2 API model?
Not exactly. GPT Image 2 is the API model name. OpenAI also introduced a ChatGPT product experience called ChatGPT Images 2.0, and the system card says the accompanying thinking mode can add reasoning, tool use, live web search, and multiple-image generation inside ChatGPT. Those are launch-experience capabilities around the model, not a separate `gpt-image-2` model ID in this repository.
What safety and provenance protections did OpenAI describe for GPT Image 2?
OpenAI's system card describes a multi-layer safety stack with prompt-layer filtering, image-input blocking, and output blocking before images are shown to users. OpenAI also says ChatGPT Images 2.0 continues to use C2PA metadata and adds an imperceptible, robust, content-specific watermark to improve provenance tooling.
Is GPT Image 2 already available in this Vofy build?
Yes. As of April 22, 2026 this repository exposes `gpt-image-2` as a selectable Studio image model with text-to-image, image-to-image, and inpainting support, plus product-surfaced controls for quality, background, and exact size.
