OpenAI's most capable image model. 4× faster, 20% cheaper, with production-grade editing fidelity.
GPT Image 1.5, released December 2025, is OpenAI's most capable image model. Built into the GPT-5 architecture, it generates images 4× faster than GPT Image 1, with 20% lower cost. It excels at preserving original image details during edits — no more complete re-renders. Text rendering is significantly improved, handling dense and small characters accurately.
GPT Image 1.5 is 20% cheaper than GPT Image 1. Text input: $5/1M tokens. Image input: $8/1M tokens. Image output: $32/1M tokens. Typical cost: ~$0.01–$0.05 per image.
Photoreal lead images for landing pages, decks, and editorials — precise composition, consistent lighting, magazine-quality output.
Generate sets of images that hold the same palette, lighting, and styling across multiple shots — ideal for content systems.
Spin up coordinated ad creatives in one session: same model, same brand language, different formats and aspect ratios.
Fix labels, swap colorways, or extend backgrounds without re-rendering the rest of the image — original details stay intact.
Render dense and small text with high accuracy — useful for translations, multi-region campaigns, and regulated copy.
Generate variant after variant with predictable changes — perfect for A/B tests, mood exploration, and design reviews.
Open the playground above and pick gpt-image-1.5. Free credits land in your account at sign up — no payment required to start.
Use plain English or Chinese. Mention style, lighting, composition, and any on-image text. Reference real photography terms if you know them.
For new images, just generate. For edits, upload a reference and mask the region to change — 1.5 will preserve everything outside the mask.
Tweak the prompt, change the size, or seed a new variation. 1.5 is 4× faster than 1.0, so iteration is cheap and immediate.

Cost-Saving Tips
Enter a text prompt describing the image you want. Adjust parameters like size (Square, Landscape, Portrait), quality (Low/Medium/High), output format (PNG/JPEG/WebP), and background (Opaque or Transparent). Click "Generate" and GPT Image 2 will create a brand-new image from your description.
Tips for Better GPT Image 2 Results
Upload a source image, write a prompt describing the changes you want, and GPT Image 2 will modify the image accordingly. Without a mask, GPT Image 2 decides which areas to change. With a mask, you can precisely control which regions are modified.
You can use Edit mode for GPT Image 2 image-to-image generation without a mask. Simply upload a reference image and describe the transformation you want in the prompt — for example, "Convert this photo to a watercolor painting" or "Reimagine this scene in a cyberpunk style". GPT Image 2 will use your image as a reference to generate a new version.
