GPT Image 2

by OpenAI

Released 35 days after GPT-5.4 Mini · Announcement · All OpenAI releases

GPT Image 2, released in April 2026, is OpenAI's flagship image model and the first to add a reasoning step before image creation, planning layout and self-checking outputs. It accepts text and image inputs to generate or edit images. The model brings stronger world knowledge, instruction following, and the ability to render dense text and complex visuals with high fidelity, including improved multilingual text across Latin and non-Latin scripts. It supports flexible output sizes and high-detail image inputs for editing. GPT Image 2 is a step up from GPT Image 1.5 in overall visual quality, editing precision, and layout control, suited to demanding production workflows.
