Where GPT Image 2 shines
Posters and ads
Render legible headlines and captions directly inside the image for posters, social ads, and promo graphics.
Infographics
Produce diagrams, charts, and infographics with accurate, multilingual in-image text and clear layout control.
Image editing
Attach up to 10 reference images to switch into image-to-image mode for guided edits and remixes.
Strengths
- Best-in-class in-image text rendering, including multilingual text, posters, infographics, and charts
- Strong literal prompt-following with precise layout and composition control
- Natively multimodal: accepts text and image inputs and supports image-to-image editing with up to 10 reference images
- Wide aspect-ratio range from ultra-wide 3:1 to ultra-tall 1:3, plus an Auto option, at 1K, 2K, or 4K
- Generates up to 8 image variations from a single prompt
Trade-offs
- Image-only model with no video or audio output
- Priced higher than lightweight image models at a flat 30 credits per image
- Less painterly and stylised than diffusion-style models like Seedream
- Image-to-image needs at least one reference image; without one it runs as plain text-to-image

About GPT Image 2
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's next-generation image model, and it is built around one standout skill: rendering legible, accurate text inside the picture. That makes it a natural fit for posters, infographics, charts, and any layout where the words on the image matter as much as the artwork. It follows prompts literally and gives you tight control over composition and layout.
On HexGen you can run GPT Image 2 in two ways. Start from a written prompt for pure text-to-image, or attach up to 10 reference images to switch it into image-to-image mode for edits and guided generation. It is natively multimodal, so it reads both your text and your images together. Outputs come in 1K, 2K, or 4K and across a wide aspect-ratio range, from ultra-wide 3:1 to ultra-tall 1:3, with an Auto option when you want the model to choose.
Every prompt can return up to 8 variations, so you can explore several directions in a single run. Pricing is a flat 30 credits per image with no resolution or quality tiers to track. If your work leans on clean typography and faithful prompt-following rather than painterly, stylised output, GPT Image 2 is the image model to reach for.
Starting points
Copy, tweak, and run. Good prompts get you most of the way there.

Pay only for what you render. 1 USD = 1,000 HGcoins. HGcoins never expire and failed runs refund automatically.
GPT Image 2 vs other models
GPT Image 2 leads on in-image text and literal prompt-following, which sets it apart from more painterly image models. Here is how it stacks up against two image siblings on HexGen.
| Model | Quality | Speed | Cost | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
GPT Image 2 This OpenAI | Best | Fast | Higher cost | Pick GPT Image 2 when sharp in-image text, posters, infographics, and faithful prompt-following matter most. |
Google | Best | Fast | Mid cost | Google's high-end image model for polished, detailed generations when you do not need text-rendering precision. |
ByteDance | Great | Fastest | Lower cost | A lighter, more painterly diffusion-style image model for stylised output at lower cost. |
