Key model capabilities
- High-quality image generation: Create detailed, photorealistic, and stylistically diverse images from natural language prompts.
- Advanced image editing: Modify existing images through inpainting, outpainting, object replacement, removal, and scene transformation.
- Instruction following: Accurately interpret complex prompts, multi-step instructions, and nuanced creative requests.
- Photorealistic rendering: Produce realistic lighting, textures, materials, and visual compositions.
- Creative visual design: Generate illustrations, concept art, marketing assets, product visuals, and branded content.
- Text rendering: Generate images containing readable and well-formatted text for posters, advertisements, presentations, and social media content.
- Style control: Create images across a wide range of artistic styles, including photography, illustration, sketch, watercolor, 3D render, and graphic design.
- Image transformation: Restyle existing images while preserving key visual elements and content.
- Multi-image editing: Use one or more reference images to guide edits, composition, style, or visual consistency.
- Character and brand consistency: Maintain visual coherence across iterative edits and asset variations.
- Production-ready outputs: Generate assets suitable for marketing, creative, e-commerce, publishing, and enterprise workflows.
- Transparent background generation (New): Generate images with transparent backgrounds for logos, product cutouts, UI assets, icons, stickers, and design workflows. To enable this capability, set background="transparent" and output_format="png" when using the GPT-Image-2 edit API. PNG (or WebP) is required because transparency is not supported in JPEG output.
- High-resolution outputs: Support creation of high-fidelity images suitable for professional and commercial use.
- Content refinement and iteration: Improve, enhance, or selectively update portions of an image without recreating the entire scene.
- Visual asset generation for enterprise applications: Power content creation, advertising, product visualization, creative tooling, and workflow automation scenarios.
