GPT Image 2 — AI Image Generator

Broad, general-purpose generation. Unusually strong at understanding what a prompt means rather than matching its keywords, which shows on abstract and conceptual requests other models take literally.

GPT Image 2

GPT Image 2 is made by OpenAI. Unusually strong at understanding what a prompt means rather than matching its keywords, which shows on abstract and conceptual requests other models take literally.

Where it struggles: House style is recognisable — a certain polish that is hard to prompt away when you want something rougher.

Reach for it when the job is broad, general-purpose generation. For anything else, the model directory has a comparison of the alternatives — picking by job rather than by version number is most of what separates a good result from an expensive one.

Picking between models

No model here is best at everything, and the pricing reflects compute rather than quality — a slow expensive model is not automatically the right answer. Explore on something fast, render on something good, and read the page for whatever you are about to spend credits on.

Frequently asked questions

What is GPT Image 2 best at?

Broad, general-purpose generation. Unusually strong at understanding what a prompt means rather than matching its keywords, which shows on abstract and conceptual requests other models take literally.

What are its weaknesses?

House style is recognisable — a certain polish that is hard to prompt away when you want something rougher.

How much does it cost to run?

Credit cost varies by model and output size, and reflects the GPU time a run actually takes. The generator shows the cost for your chosen model before you commit.
