Image Editing

How to Edit Existing Images with GPT-Image-2

GPT-Image-2 doesn't just generate from scratch — it can precisely modify existing images, keeping the subject and only changing what you want.

Two Editing Modes

Local Editing (Inpainting)

Upload image + mask to precisely modify a specified region

Keep the foreground person completely unchanged, replace the background with a modern office scene, match the light direction from the original, natural edge blending

Precise control over edit range, natural subject-background blending, ideal for product refinement and scene replacement

Full Style Transfer

Upload reference image, describe target style, regenerate entire image

Referencing the uploaded product photo, transfer the overall style to Japanese minimalist, white background, soft natural light, preserve product shape and color

Quickly achieve a unified brand visual style, ideal for batch processing brand materials

Image Editing Best Practices

  • Extend the mask edge 10–20% beyond the target area to ensure natural edge transitions
  • Explicitly state 'keep [subject] unchanged, modify [area]' in your prompt
  • Match the lighting direction to the original image to avoid lighting conflicts
  • For transparent background output, add 'transparent background' to the prompt
  • For text editing, write the target text content directly in the prompt

Transparency Tips

  • Add 'transparent background, PNG' at the end of the prompt to trigger transparent output
  • For product hero images, use 1:1 ratio + transparent background for maximum versatility
  • Use HD mode for design elements to get sharper details
  • When layering multiple transparent assets, ensure consistent light direction
Prompt Guide

GPT-Image-2 Prompt Best Practices

Master these templates for more precise and professional image generation.

Product Transparent Background Template

[product name], [angle description], white/transparent background, professional product photography, soft diffused light, subtle shadows, ultra-high-definition detail, no branding, PNG format

Why it works: Explicit transparency requirement + professional lighting description, avoids complex backgrounds

Use case: E-commerce hero images, product catalogs, design assets

Text Poster Template

[style] style poster, bold centered headline '[main title]' [font style], subtitle '[subtitle]' in white, [background color/gradient], [decorative elements], [overall tone], clean layout, clear readable text

Why it works: Explicit bilingual content + font style description allows GPT-Image-2 to render accurately

Use case: Event posters, social media covers, marketing materials

Virtual Portrait Template

[gender/age] person, [appearance features], [outfit description], [shooting scene/background], [lighting description] (e.g., soft window light / professional studio lighting), natural gaze, detailed skin texture, photorealistic style

Why it works: Layered description — appearance → outfit → scene → lighting — helps AI allocate detail weights accurately

Use case: Virtual models, brand ambassadors, course instructor images

Local Image Editing Template

Keep [preserved area] completely unchanged, replace [modified area] with [target description], match light direction from original, natural edge transitions, unified overall style

Why it works: Clear 'preserve' vs 'modify' boundaries let AI precisely understand the edit scope

Use case: Product image refinement, background replacement, scene compositing

FAQ

GPT-Image-2 Frequently Asked Questions

What is GPT-Image-2?

GPT-Image-2 is OpenAI's most advanced AI image generation model, released in April 2026. It natively outputs transparent PNG images (Alpha Channel), renders pixel-perfect text in 48+ languages, produces photorealistic portraits, and supports multi-turn image editing (inpainting). It is a major upgrade over DALL-E 3, offering significantly higher commercial image quality and more precise instruction following.

How does GPT-Image-2 compare to DALL-E 3 and Midjourney?

GPT-Image-2 outperforms DALL-E 3 on text rendering accuracy, photorealistic portrait quality, scene understanding, and character consistency. Compared to Midjourney, GPT-Image-2 offers native transparent background output, longer prompts (up to 5,000 characters), built-in image editing (inpainting/outpainting), and superior multilingual text rendering — making it the stronger choice for commercial and e-commerce use cases.

Is GPT-Image-2 free to use?

You can try GPT-Image-2 for free on CreatOK — no API key or OpenAI account required. Free users get a limited number of generations per day. Unlimited generations and HD output are available on paid plans. CreatOK is the easiest way to access GPT-Image-2 online without technical setup.

What aspect ratios and resolutions does GPT-Image-2 support?

Supports 9 aspect ratios: 16:9, 5:4, 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 9:16 — covering all landscape and portrait scenarios. Resolution comes in three tiers: 1K, 2K, and 4K (up to 4096×4096), suitable for everything from social media to professional print.

How do I use GPT-Image-2 for image editing?

GPT-Image-2 supports two editing modes: (1) Inpainting — upload an image and mask to precisely modify a specific region while keeping the rest unchanged; (2) Full style transfer — upload a reference image and describe the target style to regenerate the entire image. Ideal for product image refinement, background replacement, and brand material batch processing.

What commercial scenarios is GPT-Image-2 best for?

Best suited for: (1) Ad and social media creatives — accurate text rendering, strong visual quality; (2) Product marketing and e-commerce — realistic materials, transparent backgrounds, and scene compositing; (3) Event posters and menus — readable multilingual text in multiple ratios; (4) Character series and visual storytelling — cross-image character consistency.
