What Image2 is good at
The GPT Image 2 API lets developers programmatically generate and edit images through OpenAI's REST API endpoint. Image2 provides a simpler interface on top of the same model if you want results without building API integrations.
- Text prompts and source images togetherUse text-to-image for fresh ideas, image-to-image for revisions, or combine both for tighter control.
- Refine the same idea across versionsChange background, styling, composition, or text placement without rebuilding the entire concept.
Feature Highlights
The GPT Image 2 API supports text-to-image generation, image editing with masks, multiple output sizes, and batch requests. Developers can integrate this REST API into any application, or use Image2 for API-level output without writing code.
➤
Direct REST API access for programmatic image generation
The GPT Image 2 API accepts text prompts and returns generated images. Developers can specify size, quality level, and output format, then integrate API results directly into any application pipeline.
- Supports text-to-image and image-to-image editing endpoints
- Returns base64-encoded images or URLs for download
- Configurable output sizes including 1024x1024, 1536x1024, and 1024x1536
➤
Image editing API with mask-based region control
Upload a source image and a mask to edit specific regions. The API replaces masked areas based on your prompt while preserving the rest — useful for background swaps, object removal, and inpainting.
- Mask-based editing for precise region replacement
- Preserves unmasked areas exactly as uploaded
- Combine with generation for multi-step creative workflows
➤
API pricing structured by resolution and quality
GPT Image 2 API pricing is per-image based on resolution and quality settings. Understanding the tiers helps you budget for batch processing, A/B testing, and production-scale image generation.
- Standard quality is cost-effective for drafts and prototypes
- HD quality is available for final production assets
- Batch API endpoints reduce per-image costs for high-volume workflows
➤
Skip the API — use Image2 as your visual interface
If you need GPT Image 2 output but not API integration, Image2 provides the same model through a browser workspace. No API keys, no code, no rate limit management — just prompt and generate.
- Same GPT Image 2 model without writing integration code
- Visual workspace for prompt refinement and iterative editing
- Export results directly without building download pipelines
Workflow
How to use Image2
Send a POST request to the GPT Image 2 API endpoint with your prompt and parameters. Developers can integrate this REST API into any pipeline, or skip the integration and use Image2 as a no-code interface to the same programmatic model.

Answers
Image2 AI Image Generator FAQ
Technical questions about GPT Image 2 API pricing, rate limits, developer authentication, supported formats, and how Image2 relates to direct REST API access.
OpenAI provides initial API credits for new developer accounts. After those are used, you pay per image through the REST API. Image2 offers its own free tier that accesses the same model without requiring an OpenAI API key.
You need an OpenAI API key passed in the Authorization header. Image2 handles authentication internally, so you do not need your own API key to generate images through the platform.
Yes. The API supports programmatic batch requests for processing multiple images in a single call. This is useful for developer workflows like ecommerce catalogs, marketing campaigns, or any integration that needs images at scale.
The API accepts PNG and JPEG inputs for editing and returns PNG or JPEG outputs. You can also request base64-encoded responses for direct embedding in applications.
Use the REST API if you are a developer building programmatic image generation into your own product. Use Image2 if you need GPT Image 2 output for design, marketing, or content work without API integration.
