Question 1

What is GPT Image 2 and how is it different from GPT Image 1.5?

Accepted Answer

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's 2026 successor to GPT Image 1.5. The biggest upgrades are: photorealistic human subjects (fewer hand/eye artifacts), accurate in-image text rendering (titles and labels are readable on the first generation), and stronger prompt adherence for complex compositions. GPT Image 2 runs on the WaveSpeed platform while GPT Image 1.5 runs on Fal — so cold starts tend to be faster on GPT Image 2. The trade-off is price: GPT Image 2 is $0.10 per image vs $0.034 for GPT Image 1.5.

Question 2

How much does GPT Image 2 cost?

Accepted Answer

GPT Image 2 costs 40 credits (about $0.10) per image on this page. Image editing with GPT Image 2 Edit is the same price. For comparison: GPT Image 1 is 16 credits ($0.04), GPT Image 1.5 is 14 credits ($0.034), GPT Image 1 Mini is 8 credits ($0.02). If you're iterating heavily, start on Mini or 1.5, then re-generate the winner on GPT Image 2.

Question 3

What image sizes does GPT Image 2 support?

Accepted Answer

GPT Image 2 supports exactly three sizes:

- 1024 x 1024 (square, 1:1)
- 1536 x 1024 (landscape, 3:2)
- 1024 x 1536 (portrait, 2:3)

Unlike GPT Image 1.5, GPT Image 2 does not support an 'auto' size — you must pick one of the three. This matches the aspect ratios of most social and editorial contexts.

Question 4

Can GPT Image 2 edit existing images?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GPT Image 2 Edit accepts up to 10 reference images per request. You can swap backgrounds, transfer products onto models, merge multiple photos into one composition, or restyle an existing shot. Tell GPT Image 2 Edit exactly which image is the base and which are references — the stronger prompt adherence in GPT Image 2 makes this more reliable than GPT Image 1.5 Edit.

Question 5

Does GPT Image 2 render text correctly?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is one of its biggest gains over GPT Image 1.5. Short and medium-length headlines, chyrons, menu labels, UI text and even multi-language captions render correctly on the first try in most cases. For very long paragraphs, GPT Image 2 can still drift, so keep headline text under ~8 words for maximum reliability.

Question 6

What is the multi-image reference limit in GPT Image 2 Edit?

Accepted Answer

Up to 10 input images per edit request. You can use one image as the base and the other nine as style / content / product references. GPT Image 2 Edit composes them according to your prompt. For most e-commerce workflows, 2-3 reference images (base + product + style) is already enough.

Question 7

Which backend does GPT Image 2 use?

Accepted Answer

On this page, GPT Image 2 runs through the WaveSpeed inference platform (`openai/gpt-image-2/text-to-image` and `openai/gpt-image-2/edit`). WaveSpeed tends to have faster cold starts than Fal. The other GPT Image models (1, 1.5, Mini) continue to run on Fal. You don't need to do anything differently — the model switcher handles routing automatically.

Question 8

Can I use GPT Image 2 output commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OpenAI's current terms allow commercial use of GPT Image 2 output. You own your generated images and can use them for client work, product marketing, publishing, and personal projects. Always keep a copy of the prompt and generation details for provenance. When in doubt, check OpenAI's usage policy page for the current commercial-use language.

Question 9

When should I use GPT Image 1.5 instead of GPT Image 2?

Accepted Answer

Use GPT Image 1.5 when budget matters (14 credits vs 40) or when you need the 'auto' size option. GPT Image 1.5 still has strong prompt adherence and high-fidelity output — the quality delta is most visible on photorealistic humans and in-image text, not on everything. For artistic styles (Van Gogh, watercolor, anime), the gap is narrower and GPT Image 1.5 is often good enough.

Question 10

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes — new accounts come with starter credits that cover several GPT Image 2 generations so you can evaluate it against GPT Image 1.5 before committing. After that, credits can be purchased in packs or via a subscription. Unused credits don't expire on the subscription plan.
