GPT Image 2
OpenAI's flagship image model — high-quality generation and edits with industry-leading prompt and text fidelity.
About this model
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's state-of-the-art image generation and editing model, built for production creative work where typography, layout, and reference consistency matter. It excels at dense multi-element compositions — posters, infographics, magazine spreads, and product hero shots — while maintaining character and brand likeness across edits. On HiArt, GPT Image 2 supports up to 16 reference images on a single canvas node, making it the default choice for branding, e-commerce, and campaign workflows that need print-ready output.
Best for
- Up to 16 reference images for brand, product, and character consistency
- Strong text rendering in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other scripts
- 14 aspect ratios from square to cinematic 21:9, up to 4K resolution
- Instruction-following tuned for layout, lighting, and camera language
- Image editing on the same canvas — iterate without leaving your project
- Quality tiers (low / medium / high) to balance speed and fidelity
Common workflows
- Brand identity mockups, logo lockups, and campaign key visuals
- E-commerce product photography with consistent lighting and angles
- Social ads and posters that require legible in-image copy

FAQ
- When should I pick GPT Image 2 over Seedream or Nano Banana?
- Choose GPT Image 2 when you need the strongest text-in-image rendering, the highest reference-image limit (16), or OpenAI-style instruction following for layout-heavy briefs. Seedream and Nano Banana are better for high-volume iteration at lower credit cost.
- Can I use GPT Image 2 for image editing?
- Yes. Attach reference images and describe the change you want — background swap, relight, text update, or composition tweak — on the same HiArt canvas node.
- What resolution should I use?
- Use 2K for most social and web deliverables. Step up to 4K for print-ready exports or hero campaign assets where pixel density matters.
