GPT Image 2 AI Image Generator

GPT Image 2 is an image generation and editing model from OpenAI. On Pixmint it costs 15 credits per image, the same as GPT Image 2.5. It takes a text prompt, up to four reference images and works in the AI image editor, where OpenAI models receive a real transparency mask for brush edits.

In our example set GPT Image 2 has a recognizable character: clean, finished, graphic compositions. The poster test came back as a designed layout with a blue headline, a red brush-stroke badge and speed lines; the product mug is large and centered; the Tokyo alley has a big, readable lantern with Japanese lettering in the foreground. It tends to deliver an image that looks art-directed.

In Pixmint's setup GPT Image models return images of up to 1536 px on the long side. Free-credit images are limited to 1024 px with a small watermark.

These six images were generated with GPT Image 2 on Pixmint. The exact prompt is printed under each one, and you can copy any of them into the tool above. Each prompt was run once, so treat the notes as impressions from a single sample, not as a benchmark.

• Finished, graphic compositions. Posters and covers arrive with hierarchy, color blocking and decoration.
• Strong subject framing. Products and subjects are large, centered and clearly lit.
• Editing with real masks. OpenAI models are sent an actual mask when you paint in the editor, which suits localized edits.
• Readable text. The headline was spelled correctly in our poster test.

• It may add flourishes you did not ask for, as the red brush stroke on the poster did. State "plain, no extra graphics" when you need restraint.
• At 15 credits it costs three times as much as the free-tier model.
• One sample per prompt, so treat these as tendencies.

GPT Image 2.5 is its successor in the same family at the same price, and Pixmint uses 2.5 as the default model for editing. Our GPT Image 2.5 vs GPT Image 2 page puts them side by side on the same prompts.

Against the Seedream models, GPT Image 2 looks more art-directed and less moody than Seedream 5.0 Pro. Against the Nano Banana models, which in our samples looked more like photographs and documentary scenes, it looks more like a finished illustration.

The comparisons here are qualitative and based on the example images on this site. Image generation varies from run to run, so run your own prompt on two models before you commit. The models page lists every model with its price.

GPT Image 2 costs 15 credits ($0.15) per image. Four images in one go cost 60 credits ($0.60). Failed images are refunded automatically, so you only pay for images you receive.

One credit is worth about $0.01 at the planned list price. The signup bonus of 50 credits and the 20 daily credits are enough to try several of the paid models, and the photo tools cost 15 credits per run.

Planned paid plans (not available yet): 500 credits for $4.90, 1,100 credits for $9.90, 2,400 credits for $19.90, or a monthly plan of 1,200 credits for $9.90. Paid plans are planned but not available yet, so nothing can be bought today (see pricing). If the largest planned pack (2,400 credits) goes on sale, it would cover roughly 160 GPT Image 2 images.

Guests (no account) get 5 free Seedream 5.0 Flash images and 3 photo-tool uses per day. Signed-in users get 50 credits on their first sign-in plus 20 credits every day. Free outputs are up to 1024 px with a small watermark and are for personal non-commercial use.
