GPT Image 2
OpenAI's most advanced AI image generator, with reasoning and near-perfect text
GPT Image 2 (also known as ChatGPT Images 2.0) is OpenAI's flagship image generation model, released in April 2026 and integrated natively into ChatGPT. It's the first OpenAI image model with built-in reasoning — it plans and verifies the composition before drawing — and it delivers industry-leading text rendering with near-perfect accuracy. On Keyo Studio, GPT Image 2 brings production-ready image generation with the world knowledge of the GPT model family behind every result.
What is GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's next-generation image model, launched on April 21, 2026 under the API name gpt-image-2. It replaces DALL-E 3 and GPT Image 1.5 as OpenAI's production image generator. Built on a completely rebuilt architecture and powered by the GPT model family's world knowledge, it understands context, follows complex multi-constraint prompts, and produces studio-grade photorealism. On launch it took the #1 spot across every category on the Image Arena leaderboard by the largest margin ever recorded.
Near-perfect text rendering
Text is where GPT Image 2 truly stands apart. It achieves roughly 99% character-level text accuracy — rendering clean, correctly spelled words even in dense layouts and small sizes. It handles multilingual scripts including Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi, rendered accurately even on curved surfaces. This makes it exceptional for posters, product packaging, restaurant menus, UI mockups, infographics, and any design where legible, accurate text is essential.
Reasoning before it draws
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's first image model with built-in reasoning (its "thinking" capability). Before generating, the model plans the composition, verifies object counts, and checks prompt constraints — the same O-series reasoning approach behind OpenAI's text models. It can also search the web for real-time information before drawing. The result is precise instruction-following and images that feel less "AI-generated," with accurate placement of objects and fine detail.
Resolution, speed, and editing
GPT Image 2 outputs at high resolution — 2K as standard, with 4K support — across a flexible range of aspect ratios. It generates images several times faster than its predecessor, and supports multi-turn editing: you can refine an image iteratively while it preserves context across edits. It can also produce up to eight images from a single prompt, ideal for exploring variations quickly.
Best use cases
GPT Image 2 is the strongest choice for practical, text-heavy, workflow-integrated image generation: marketing materials and campaign graphics, product packaging and mockups, infographics and diagrams with accurate labels, UI screenshots and interface mockups, posters, and multilingual content. When text accuracy and precise instruction-following matter most, GPT Image 2 leads the field.
Pricing on Keyo Studio
On Keyo Studio, GPT Image 2 is priced by resolution: 1 credit for 1K, 2 credits for 2K, and 4 credits for 4K. Draft your idea at 1K first, then render the final version at higher resolution once the composition and text are right.
Frequently asked questions
What is GPT-image-2?
GPT-image-2 is OpenAI's second-generation image model, the successor to gpt-image-1. It generates and edits images at 1K, 2K, and 4K, and renders multilingual text directly inside images.
How much does GPT-image-2 cost on Keyo Studio?
GPT-image-2 is priced by resolution: 1 credit for 1K, 2 credits for 2K, and 4 credits for 4K. Draft your idea at 1K first, then render the final version at higher resolution once the composition and text are right.
How good is GPT-image-2 at text in images?
GPT-image-2 achieves around 99% character-level text accuracy across Latin, CJK, Hindi, and Bengali scripts, making it one of the strongest models for text-heavy assets like typography, layouts, and carefully-worded copy.
Can GPT-image-2 edit existing images?
Yes. GPT-image-2 both generates and edits images, handling tasks like replacing backgrounds and adjusting composition while following instructions precisely.
What resolutions does GPT-image-2 support?
GPT-image-2 supports 1K, 2K, and 4K output, priced at 1, 2, and 4 credits respectively on Keyo Studio.
What can I use GPT-image-2 for?
GPT-image-2 is the best choice when your brief includes typography, layout, or precise copy — product mockups, infographics, posters, and any text-heavy design where accurate rendering and instruction-following matter most.
