EditorialAbout the model
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).
| Instant mode | Thinking mode | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | All ChatGPT users | Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise |
| Speed | Fast, lightweight generations | Slower — plans before rendering |
| Best for | Quick drafts, social posts, simple edits | Infographics, slides, precise multi-image sets |
| Reasoning | Direct prompt → image | Native reasoning + constraint verification |
| Multi-output | Single image per run | Up to 8 consistent images per prompt |
| Web search | No | Yes — live context when needed |

Tiny text, icon systems, UI elements, dense compositions, and subtle style constraints all render faithfully, up to 2K via API — outputs you can ship, not just approximate.
Marked progress on non-Latin text rendering — Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Bengali — with legible glyphs and coherent phrasing across posters, explainer figures, charts, and comics.
Photoreal candid shots, cinematic stills, pixel art, and manga rendered with higher fidelity in texture, lighting, composition, and detail — useful for game prototyping, storyboards, and marketing creative.

Knowledge cutoff December 2025 — more timely world context for explainer figures, educational charts, and visual summaries where accuracy matters as much as aesthetics.
In ChatGPT's Thinking mode it searches the web, turns uploads into clean explainer visuals, reasons about layout before rendering, and produces up to 8 coherent images in one go — comic pages, room redesigns, multi-ratio multilingual social kits.
Use cases
Aligned with OpenAI's official production scenarios — localized ads, infographics, explainer content, educational assets, design tools, and web creation. Up to 8 related frames per prompt for end-to-end workflows.
