The 5 upgrades · +1 gift

Everything the old tools couldn't do — GPT Image 2 AI does.

Text That Actually Renders
UI mockups, signage, comic bubbles, medical notes — GPT Image 2 AI renders them at 99%+ accuracy. Stop fixing broken text in post.
True-to-Life Colors
Accurate whites, realistic skin tones, correct material surfaces. No warm cast, no color grading required — what you describe is what you get.
Knows What the World Looks Like
Accurate storefronts, pixel-correct UI chrome, brand-recognizable scenes. GPT Image 2 AI draws on deep world knowledge so you don't have to over-describe.
CJK at Print Quality
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean glyphs with correct strokes and spacing — ready for signage, menus, packaging, and social without manual correction.
Results in Under 3 Seconds
Single-pass inference means every generation completes in under three seconds. Iterate fast, ship faster.
Native 2K, 4K Tier Available
Generate at 2048×2048 by default. Upgrade to 4K for print and large-format work. Every aspect ratio you need: 1:1, 16:9, 3:2, 2:3.

Real tests. Real reactions.

Three capabilities the old model couldn't touch.

UI & product design

Interface mockups that pass for real screenshots

Describe any screen and GPT Image 2 AI generates it with correct labels, readable nav items, and accurate charts. Use it to prototype faster, create demo assets, or produce marketing screenshots without a designer.

Prompt

"A clean SaaS dashboard screenshot, dark mode, top nav with logo 'GPT Image 2 AI', sidebar labels 'Projects / Billing / Team', main panel showing a bar chart of weekly revenue."

Complex scene + readable text

Legible multi-paragraph text inside any scene

Drop a paragraph of text into any visual context — a document inside a Minecraft world, a memo on a coffee-shop table, a sign on a city street. GPT Image 2 AI keeps it readable, something no previous model could reliably do.

Prompt

"A Minecraft world at golden hour, in the foreground a paper document titled 'CLAUDE OPUS 5 — INTERNAL', body paragraphs fully legible, torches flickering on cobblestone walls."

CJK signage & print

Chinese, Japanese, Korean — correct strokes, every time

Generate print-ready CJK assets from a single prompt. Restaurant menus, storefront signage, packaging, VTuber logos — GPT Image 2 AI renders 漢字, 日本語, and 한글 with typographic fidelity.

Prompt

"A Tokyo ramen shop storefront at night, red lanterns, signage '麺屋 一葉' in hand-painted kanji, rain on the pavement reflecting neon."

Roadmap

What's coming to GPT Image 2 AI.

Early access launches in Q2 2026. Join the waitlist to get in first.

  1. Early access waitlist open

    Sign up to be first in the door. Founding members lock in the lowest subscription rate permanently.

  2. Early access launch

    Waitlist members get full access to GPT Image 2 AI — unlimited generation, all aspect ratios, 2K native output.

  3. API access

    Direct API integration for developers. Same JSON response shape as GPT Image 1.5, so existing integrations drop in without changes.

  4. Public launch & subscription tiers

    Full subscription plans go live. Founding member rates are locked — new signups pay standard pricing.

Estimated pricing

Subscription pricing coming soon.

Unlimited generation plans launching at early access. Join the waitlist to lock in founding member rates before public launch.
