GPT Image 2

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's current image model, known for following detailed prompts closely and rendering readable text inside images, which most image models still handle poorly. It is billed by the tokens it generates rather than a flat rate per picture, so the cost tracks the size and detail you ask for instead of being fixed. The listed price is a standard-quality square image; drafts cost a fraction of that and the highest-detail renders cost more, and you are charged the exact amount rather than an estimate.
