What is GPT Image 2?

On April 21, 2026, OpenAI launched GPT Image 2 — a major upgrade to image generation in ChatGPT and Codex. Text rendering takes a generational leap: dense layouts like menus, charts, and infographic posters stay crisply legible, including non-Latin scripts (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and more). Built for product shots, infographics, slides, posters, storyboards, and marketing assets.

It ships in two modes. Instant is fast and available to every ChatGPT user. Thinking adds native reasoning — it plans layout and composition before drawing, searches the web for real-time context, verifies constraints, and renders up to eight style-consistent images per prompt (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise).
