Key Features of the GPT Image 2 API

Next-generation GPT Image API for professional workflows

Near-Perfect Text Rendering in GPT Image 2

The GPT Image 2 model renders text naturally inside scenes — ~99% character-level accuracy on labels, UI, and signage. A breakthrough for production image models.

Photorealism from the GPT-Image-2 Model

Portraits, lifestyle shots, and product photography come out indistinguishable from real captures, with correct hand anatomy, accurate reflections, and natural skin texture.

World Knowledge Built into the GPT Image 2 Model

The model renders real brands, UIs, and environments with fidelity — storefronts, app screens, and game scenes. A core advantage over earlier GPT Image models.

Native 4K Output via the GPT Image 2 API

GPT Image 2 supports 2880×2880 and 3840×2160 natively, plus 16:9 widescreen — enough headroom for commercial print and marketing key art, with no upscaling step.

Strong Instruction Following in GPT Image 2

Complex prompts with multiple objects, layouts and constraints are followed closely, so you need fewer retries. Each request runs as an async task you submit and poll, which fits batch pipelines.

Multilingual Text Rendering with GPT-Image-2

Legible text across Latin, CJK, and right-to-left scripts, so localized ad creative and UI mockups need no manual typography passes.

GPT Image 2 API Pricing: Pay As You Go

Pay only for successful requests, with no hidden fees or monthly minimums. See the live pricing table above for current per-image rates.

Image to Image Editing with GPT-Image-2

Add image_urls to the same request to edit or restyle existing images: swap backgrounds, update product shots, or merge several references into one scene. The Ext channel accepts up to 15 reference images, and the official channel accepts up to 16 plus a mask_url for inpainting.

What You Can Build with the GPT-Image-2 API

Transform workflows across industries

E-commerce Product Photos with GPT Image 2

Generate on-brand product shots with legible labels, accurate packaging, and realistic shelf context — at 4K, suitable for print catalogs and marketplace content.

UI Mockups with the OpenAI GPT Image 2 API

Produce high-fidelity app screen mockups in seconds. Text, icons, and layout structure reproduce accurately for stakeholder review before Figma.

Ad Creatives and Key Art with GPT Image 2

Campaign-ready hero shots with correct brand typography, product integration, and scene lighting. 4K output removes the upscale-and-repair step.

Storyboards & Pre-Production

Directors iterate shot lists quickly. Close prompt adherence means fewer retries to land the exact beat, location, or staging you had in mind.

GPT Image 2 API for Developer Tools and Agents

Drop gpt-image-2 (sometimes written GPT-Image2) into existing APIMart integrations without SDK changes. Ideal for agent pipelines that generate images on demand.

Content Localization

Generate the same creative in CJK, RTL, and Latin variants — no manual typography required. Multilingual rendering cuts localization from days to minutes.

GPT Image 2 API Example: Text to Image and Image to Image

Call the gpt-image-2 model on APIMart with one POST request. Generation is asynchronous: submit a task, then poll the task endpoint to get the GPT Image 2 image URL.

1
Authenticate GPT Image 2 API requests
Save the key you created above in the APIMART_API_KEY environment variable and send it as Authorization: Bearer <key> on every request.
2
Submit a GPT Image 2 task
POST /v1/images/generations with model gpt-image-2, your prompt, size and resolution. The response returns a task_id.
3
Get the GPT Image 2 result
Send GET /v1/tasks/{task_id} until status is completed, then read the image URL from data.result.images[0].url[0]. Image URLs expire at expires_at, so download the files if you need to keep them. A failed task returns the reason in error.message.
See the GPT Image 2 API reference for every parameter and response field.

GPT Image 2 API FAQ

Everything you need to know about GPT Image 2 and the GPT Image API

What is GPT Image 2?

GPT Image 2 (also called GPT Image 2.0, model ID gpt-image-2) is OpenAI's image generation and editing model, built for complex visual work with stronger text rendering, layouts and instruction-following than earlier OpenAI image models. On APIMart you can call it with one API key and pay-as-you-go billing.

When was GPT Image 2 released?

OpenAI released gpt-image-2 on April 21, 2026, making it available in the API and Codex alongside the launch of ChatGPT Images 2.0. Its successor, GPT Image 2.5 (Flare and Sunburst), is also available on APIMart.

What is the GPT Image 2 API and how does it work?

It gives you OpenAI's GPT Image 2 model (model ID gpt-image-2) through APIMart. Send a text prompt with model, prompt and other optional parameters, and receive high-quality generated images — no complex configuration needed.

How is GPT Image 2 different from earlier GPT Image models like gpt-image-1?

Compared with earlier GPT Image models, GPT Image 2 renders text inside images far more reliably (about 99% character-level accuracy on labels, UI and signage), outputs native 4K sizes such as 2880×2880 and 3840×2160 without upscaling, draws real brands, UIs and environments with deeper world knowledge, and follows complex prompts more closely. On APIMart you call it by setting model to gpt-image-2.

What parameters does the GPT Image 2 API support?

GPT Image 2 API requests need two fields: model (gpt-image-2) and prompt. Optional parameters are n (1 image per request), size (auto, 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 5:4, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16, 2:1, 1:2, 3:1, 1:3, 21:9, 9:21, or a pixel size such as 1881x836; default 1:1), resolution (1k, 2k or 4k; default 1k), image_urls (up to 15 reference images for image-to-image editing), nsfw_check and official_fallback. The parameter table on this page lists types and defaults.

Can GPT Image 2 edit images (image to image)?

Yes. Add reference images to the same POST /v1/images/generations request through image_urls (public URLs or base64 data URIs) and describe the change in the prompt. The Ext channel (gpt-image-2) accepts up to 15 images, the official channel (gpt-image-2-official) accepts up to 16 and also supports mask_url for inpainting. Each image can be up to 20 MB, with 256 MB in total.

What is the difference between gpt-image-2 and gpt-image-2-official?

Both call GPT Image 2 through the same POST /v1/images/generations endpoint with the same size and resolution options. gpt-image-2 (the Ext channel) returns 1 image per request, accepts up to 15 reference images and can switch to the official channel with official_fallback. gpt-image-2-official is OpenAI's official model and adds n from 1 to 4, quality (auto, low, medium, high), output_format (png, jpeg or webp, with transparent backgrounds in png and webp), moderation, up to 16 reference images and mask_url for inpainting. The two are billed separately; compare both in the live pricing table above.

How do I write effective GPT Image 2 prompts?

Be specific about visual details (colors, lighting, composition), specify artistic style, and describe the scene clearly. The model's deep world knowledge means brand names, UI elements, and real environments render accurately when explicitly described.

How do I call the GPT Image 2 API, and where are the docs?

Create an API key on APIMart, then send POST https://api.apimart.ai/v1/images/generations with model gpt-image-2, your prompt and optional size and resolution. The response returns a task_id: poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id} until status is completed, then read the image URL from the result. Copy-ready cURL and Python examples are on this page, and the full GPT Image 2 API reference is in the APIMart docs (docs.apimart.ai).

How much does the GPT Image 2 API cost per image?

The GPT Image 2 API is pay-as-you-go on APIMart, with no subscription, hidden fees or monthly minimums, and one balance works across every model. See this page's live pricing table for current rates: the prices shown are Gold member prices (20% off), and Platinum and Diamond members save up to 28%.

Is the GPT Image 2 API free?

No. APIMart offers no free quota or free trial for the GPT Image 2 API. It is pay-as-you-go with no subscription: you only pay for successful requests, and every price is 20% off (Platinum and Diamond members save up to 28%). To check quality first, run a few paid requests in the Playground before scaling up.

Is there a discount on the GPT Image 2 API?

Yes. Prices shown on this page are Gold member prices, already 20% off. Platinum and Diamond members save even more, up to 28%, and you only pay for successful requests.

How do I get a GPT Image 2 API key?

Sign up for APIMart, open the API Keys page in your dashboard and create a new key. The same key calls the OpenAI GPT Image 2 API and every other model on the platform, with pay-as-you-go billing and no subscription.

Is GPT Image 2 the same as GPT Image 2.0 or ChatGPT Images 2.0?

GPT Image 2.0 and GPT Images 2 are common ways to refer to this OpenAI model, which APIMart serves as gpt-image-2. ChatGPT Images 2.0 is the image experience inside ChatGPT that OpenAI launched alongside it; developers reach the model through the API. If you searched for a ChatGPT Image 2 API or an image2 API (also written GPT-Image2 or GPT Image-2) to use in your own product, send model gpt-image-2 and your prompt with your APIMart API key.
