The short answer

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's image generation and editing model. OpenAI describes it as a fast, high quality model that accepts text and image inputs, returns images, supports flexible sizes, and preserves image inputs with high fidelity.

When to choose it

Choose GPT Image 2 when a workflow mixes new image generation with edits to supplied visuals and needs a broad set of common aspect ratios.

Where it fits

  • Useful when generation and editing belong in the same workflow.
  • Broad Genflow aspect ratio coverage fits social, commerce, and campaign formats.
  • Text and image instructions can support iterative visual revision.

What to review

  • Brand, product, and text accuracy still need review before commercial use.
  • Genflow currently exposes 1K and 2K output, which is the product setting rather than a claim about every official endpoint.
