OpenAI GPT-Image 2 Now Available on PicMorph

OpenAI''s latest image model, GPT-Image 2, is now wired into PicMorph through Replicate. You can use it directly from the AI editor for both text-to-image generation and reference-image editing.

What changed

GPT-Image 2 is positioned by OpenAI as their state-of-the-art image generation and editing model. The published model card highlights:

• Strong instruction following on dense, multi-clause prompts
• Sharp text rendering inside images, including small type and complex layouts
• Identity-preserving edits when supplied with reference images
• Style consistency across batches

It supersedes GPT-Image 1.5 in PicMorph''s lineup but does not replace it; GPT-Image 1.5 remains available for workflows that depend on transparent backgrounds or the legacy parameter set.

How it differs from GPT-Image 1.5

If you have been using GPT-Image 1.5, the parameter surface is leaner and the limits have moved.

If you need transparent backgrounds, stay on GPT-Image 1.5. If you need higher batch counts or cleaner editing semantics, GPT-Image 2 is the better default.

When to reach for it

• Posters, ads, and UI mocks with embedded text. Text rendering is the standout improvement; previous OpenAI image models often introduced subtle character corruption at small sizes. GPT-Image 2 is noticeably steadier here.
• Iterative edits on a real subject. Pass the original image (or several variants) via input_images and describe the change. Identity is preserved more reliably than re-prompting from scratch.
• Batch generation up to 10 variants. Useful for moodboards or A/B candidates without re-submitting the request.

When in doubt, start with quality: "auto" — the model will balance fidelity and cost without you having to guess.

Pricing and credits

On PicMorph, GPT-Image 2 is priced at 6 credits per generation, slightly above GPT-Image 1.5 to reflect the higher per-call cost upstream. Credit pricing on Replicate itself can change over time; refer to the Replicate model page for the authoritative cost.

This article is a source-based summary of OpenAI and Replicate''s public materials, not an independent benchmark. Real-world quality depends on prompt design, reference image selection, and Replicate''s rollout state. For the latest schema and capabilities, refer to the official model card.
