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 together
    Use text-to-image for fresh ideas, image-to-image for revisions, or combine both for tighter control.
  • Refine the same idea across versions
    Change 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.

Upload or start from text

Drop product photos, portraits, or sketches—or start blank for text-to-image runs.

Describe your change clearly

"Create a premium skincare product image on soft stone, add botanical shadows, and leave space for a headline." Clear prompts usually work best.

What teams say after using Image2

Real teams using Image2 for ecommerce, branding, and marketing workflows.

We used Image2 for a holiday figurine drop. It took two review rounds instead of six, mainly because faces and logo placement stayed consistent.

I can brief Image2 in plain English and get usable ad variants quickly. We still retouch final picks, but 80% of options are campaign-ready.

Text rendering is the biggest win for us. CTA copy is readable at mobile sizes, so we spend less time rebuilding banners in design tools.

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.

2

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.

4

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.

6

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.
