How to Use GPT Image 2
GPT Image 2 turns prompts and reference images into generated or edited visuals. The basic workflow is simple: write a clear brief, choose settings, generate, then refine with focused follow-up prompts.
Step 1: Enter Your Prompt
Describe the image you want in natural language. Include subject, composition, style, colors, lighting, and any exact words that must appear.
Start with the subject: Name the product, person, scene, object, or layout you want GPT Image 2 to create.
Add visual direction: Specify camera angle, art style, mood, lighting, color palette, and background details.
Include exact text: For labels, posters, and UI examples, quote the exact text and keep it concise.
Step 2: Customize Your Settings
Choose the mode that fits the task: text-to-image for new visuals, image-to-image for reference-driven variations, and editing for changes to existing photos.
Select output mode: Use text-to-image for new ideas, image-to-image for variations, and prompt-based editing for photo cleanup or transformation.
Choose aspect ratio: Pick square, portrait, landscape, or auto depending on whether the image is for a post, listing, ad, or hero section.
Upload references: Reference images help preserve product identity, style direction, character details, or composition.
Step 3: Generate & Download
Generate the first version, inspect the result, then make focused follow-up edits instead of rewriting the whole prompt.
Review the result: Check text, hands, labels, background, lighting, and whether the output matches your intended use.
Refine one element: Ask for a single change such as brighter lighting, cleaner background, different color, or tighter crop.
Export for use: Download the final result and use it in your campaign, listing, deck, prototype, or content workflow.
Image-to-Image Guide
Reference images help GPT Image 2 keep the important visual identity while changing the scene, style, lighting, or composition.
Upload a clear reference
Use a sharp product, portrait, logo, or composition image when identity and structure matter.
Tell GPT Image 2 what to preserve
Call out shape, color, labels, face identity, pose, or layout before asking for style changes.
Describe the target result
Ask for a new background, cleaner lighting, campaign setting, visual style, or output format.
GPT Image 2 Prompt Tips
The best workflow is simple: give GPT Image 2 a clear brief, inspect the first result, then refine the exact part that needs work.
Be specific about the subject
Name the person, product, scene, or object first so GPT Image 2 knows what must stay central.
Add camera and layout details
Mention crop, angle, focal length, background, and where important text or labels should sit.
Refine with short follow-ups
After generation, change one thing at a time: lighting, color, crop, background, or text.
Quality & Resolution Options
Pick the quality level based on whether you are testing a prompt, publishing a campaign image, or preparing a sharper final export.
Standard 1K
Best for drafts, quick concepts, social posts, and early prompt testing.
VIP 2K
Better for sharper product visuals, landing pages, and campaign assets.
Higher-end exports
Use paid plans and upscaling when the final image needs extra detail for commercial use.
