Welcome to GPT Image 2 Docs
Product overview, workflows, and quick-start guidance for GPT Image 2
GPT Image 2 is designed as a fast creative workspace for text to image, image to image, and precise visual edits. If you want to understand what the product does, who it fits, and how to get useful results quickly, this page is the best place to start.
What is GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2 is an AI image workflow that helps you generate, edit, and refine visuals from prompts or reference uploads. Instead of separating idea generation from editing, it combines both in one interface so you can:
- create a brand-new image from text
- transform an existing image with more control
- guide the result with one or more reference images
- export assets for marketing, social, ecommerce, presentations, or mockups
Who this product is for
GPT Image 2 fits best for people who need faster visual production without giving up too much control:
- Marketers making ad creatives, launch visuals, and social variants.
- Ecommerce teams upgrading product images without organizing a full reshoot.
- Designers and creative leads testing directions quickly before committing to production.
- Founders and indie makers who need landing visuals, thumbnails, and campaign assets on short timelines.
- Content creators exploring portrait styles, concept imagery, covers, and presentation-ready graphics.
Core workflows
Text to image
Use text to image when you want a fresh visual idea from scratch. This works well for:
- hero sections
- ad concepts
- social thumbnails
- moodboards
- stylized campaign directions
Image to image
Use image to image when you already have a photo or draft and want to transform it while keeping useful structure. This is helpful when you want to preserve:
- face or subject identity
- product angle
- composition
- layout
- lighting direction
Reference-guided edits
Upload one or more images when you need stronger control over:
- style consistency
- color direction
- framing
- product details
- final visual quality
How to use GPT Image 2
The homepage frames GPT Image 2 as a four-step workflow:
-
Choose your mode
Start with text to image when you need a new scene, or switch to image to image when you want to transform an existing visual. -
Add a prompt and references
Describe the subject, style, composition, lighting, and mood. Upload reference images when you need tighter control. -
Pick the right settings
Choose the model, aspect ratio, and output format that match the task. -
Generate, refine, and export
Create variations, compare results, and iterate quickly until the image is ready to download and use.
Key features
Prompt optimization
Short prompts often lead to vague outputs. GPT Image 2 is positioned to help users expand rough ideas into clearer image instructions with:
- subject detail
- camera angle
- lighting direction
- quality expectations
- visual style
Reference image uploads
Reference uploads are a major part of the workflow when consistency matters. They help steer:
- identity
- composition
- product look
- color palette
- scene continuity
Flexible aspect ratios
You can generate for different destinations without rewriting the whole brief, including:
- portrait formats
- square social posts
- product cards
- banners
- widescreen presentations
High-quality exports
The output is meant to be usable for real work, not just experimentation. Typical export destinations include:
- marketing pages
- social publishing
- review decks
- mockups
- campaign production
Fast model switching
Different tasks need different tradeoffs. GPT Image 2 is built to support comparisons across:
- speed
- cost
- style
- output fidelity
Best practices for stronger results
- Write prompts that cover subject, style, composition, lighting, and mood.
- Use reference images when consistency matters more than randomness.
- State what must stay fixed, such as face, layout, framing, or product angle.
- Start with a practical aspect ratio instead of fixing it too late.
- Generate several options, then refine the best one with small prompt changes.
Credits and pricing

- each generation consumes credits
- the amount depends on the selected workflow and model
- higher-end settings may cost more, but can deliver cleaner or more controlled results
