GPT Image 2 Edit
What is GPT Image 2 Edit?
GPT Image 2 Edit is an AI image editing model that modifies uploaded images based on natural-language instructions. Upload one or more reference images, describe what to change and what to preserve, and generate a refined result at up to 4K resolution. A source image is required — this is an editing tool, not a text-to-image generator.
Upload a source image and describe the edit: what should change, what should stay the same, and how the result will be used.
Support for multiple reference images when the edit needs product, style, or subject context from more than one source.
Choose quality (low, medium, high) and resolution (1K, 2K, 4K) for the edited output.
