GPT Image 2 is a web-based AI image generator and editor powered by OpenAI's GPT-Image-2 model, enabling users to create and modify images from text descriptions or uploaded photos. It runs entirely in the browser and is developed by the Image2GPT team.
What is GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2 is a comprehensive AI creative tool that accepts text prompts or image uploads as input and generates high-resolution images (up to 4K with upscaling) as output. It combines text-to-image generation, image editing via natural language, and style transfer in a single platform. The tool runs on the web and is made by Image2GPT.
Key Features
- Text-to-Image Generation — Describe any scene in plain text; outputs square, portrait, or landscape images in up to 4K resolution (2048x2048 or higher).
- Image Editing with AI — Upload a photo and describe changes (e.g., "replace background with a beach"); the AI edits while keeping untouched areas pixel-identical.
- Style Transfer — Apply artistic styles or convert photos into different aesthetics (e.g., fashion editorial, vintage poster) with a single prompt.
- Character Consistency — Maintain the same character's appearance across multiple generated images, useful for storytelling or branding.
- Multiple Output Formats — Export as PNG, JPEG, or WebP; options for transparent backgrounds and non-watermarked exports.
- Free Credits to Start — 5 free credits on signup; no credit card required. Paid plans include Hobby ($9.9/month) and Pro ($39.9/month) with higher monthly credits and 4K output.
- Mask Inpainting — Select a specific region to regenerate, leaving the rest unchanged.
Who is it for?
- Digital artists and designers — Generate concept art, mockups, or refine visuals by iterating with prompts.
