What is GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's image generation and editing model. It accepts a written description to create a new image and uses uploaded pictures as context for an edit. Its image capabilities include rendering text within a scene and following instructions about the subject, arrangement, and style. PhotoGenerAI brings those tasks into one browser editor, with your prompt, references, model settings, and downloadable result together.
Use the task to shape your brief. A product image needs the object, materials, lighting, and camera angle. A poster needs the exact wording, hierarchy, and space around the text. An edit needs both the requested change and the features to retain. You can start with the examples on this page and replace the subject or wording with your own. There is no software installation or personal OpenAI API key to configure.
Choose Low, Medium, or High deliberately
Start with Low when you are exploring the subject, composition, or wording. Its one-credit price makes the first version easy to review with the weekly free allowance. If the brief is still changing, revise it before moving to another quality setting. A longer prompt is useful when it adds a clear instruction; repeating the same request several times makes the brief harder to inspect.
Medium and High are available with purchased credits at two and five credits per image. Compare the result against the job you need it to do: readable packaging, convincing materials, or a clean focal point. Higher quality is a generation setting, not a promise to keep the previous composition or reproduce a previous image exactly. Upload the result as a reference when you want to work from it rather than request another independent image.
Make reference edits easier to follow
Put the main photo first and state what should change. Follow it with instructions to retain the face, hairstyle, product shape, colors, or camera angle that matter to the project. If you upload more pictures, describe each role by its order: the first image is the product, the second supplies the background, and the third supplies the palette. The tool accepts up to ten images in total.
Keep each revision focused. Changing the background, lighting, pose, clothing, and typography in the same request gives you more details to check afterward. For a sequence of edits, download a useful version before continuing, then use that result as the next reference. GPT Image 2 may redraw parts of the original, so inspect the details you asked it to keep. The page does not offer a brush or a pixel-level mask.
Write text that belongs in the image
Specify the exact phrase, where it should sit, and the relative size of the headline and supporting text. Add the visual context around it: a paper label on a coffee bag, a sign above a shop door, or a headline in the upper third of a poster. Leave enough room for the words, and avoid asking a short headline area to contain a full paragraph.
After generating, open the full-size image and read every word. Check names, numbers, spelling, and any small lines the model added. If the text is wrong, request a focused correction with the result uploaded as a reference. For a layout where the wording must remain editable, use the generated visual in your design editor and add the final typography there. The JPEG download is a finished image rather than a layered design file.
