01overview
What is GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's reasoning-first image model. It generates images from a text prompt and edits existing images with an optional mask, and it is best known for rendering readable text and clean typography inside the image itself — labels, signage, UI mockups, posters, and diagrams that other models tend to garble. It is a strong fit when the layout and the words on the image matter as much as the picture.
On Prospolabs you call GPT Image 2 through one API with predictable USD-per-image pricing instead of OpenAI's token-based meter. There is no token math to estimate, no monthly subscription, and no surprise overage: you pay a flat per-image rate per quality tier and that is the whole bill. The same price applies whether you generate through the Prospolabs UI or the API, and failed runs are auto-refunded.
Prospolabs prices the three quality tiers at Low $0.0072/image (retail $0.012), Medium $0.028/image (retail $0.047), and High $0.077/image (retail $0.128) — roughly 40% off retail at every tier. You top up from $5 and draw down per generation, which makes GPT Image 2 spend easy to forecast across both text-to-image and image-edit workloads.
Cheapest predictable GPT Image 2 — ~40% off at every tier
Prospolabs prices GPT Image 2 at a flat USD-per-image rate so you never re-derive cost from OpenAI's token meter. Low is $0.0072/image (retail $0.012), Medium $0.028 (retail $0.047), and High $0.077 (retail $0.128) — about 40% off across the board. A 10,000-image Medium batch runs $280 on Prospolabs versus $470 at retail, a $190 saving, with no tokens, no subscription, and auto-refunds on failed runs.

What GPT Image 2 can do
Best-in-class text rendering
GPT Image 2 reliably writes legible words inside the image — headlines, signage, button labels, UI copy, and chart annotations — which makes it the go-to model when typography and layout accuracy matter more than raw photorealism.
Two workflows: generate and edit
Generate (text-to-image) creates an image from a prompt; edit (image-to-image, with an optional mask) reworks an existing image or paints into a masked region. Both run through the same Prospolabs endpoint at the same per-image price.
Three quality tiers
Choose Low, Medium, or High per request. Higher tiers add detail and fidelity at a higher per-image price. Medium captures most of the quality of High for a fraction of the cost, which is why it is the default sweet spot for most production work.
Structural and layout control
The model follows compositional instructions well — placement, grids, multi-element scenes, and diagram structure — making it useful for UI mockups, infographics, and product layouts rather than only single-subject photos.
Flexible sizes up to ~4K
Output dimensions are set in multiples of 16 up to roughly a 4K edge. Larger outputs cost more compute, so pick the smallest size that meets your need. Transparent backgrounds are not supported.
Predictable Prospolabs pricing
Pay-as-you-go USD per image with no tokens and no subscription. Same price for UI and API, generation results return an output URL valid 7 days, and failed runs are automatically refunded.
03use cases
What people build with GPT Image 2
Marketing creative with real copy
Generate posters, ad variants, and social graphics where the headline and CTA text render correctly on the image — no manual text overlay step. Medium tier handles most campaign output cheaply on Prospolabs.
UI mockups and product screens
Produce app and website mockups with legible labels, buttons, and menu structure. GPT Image 2's layout control makes it well suited to wireframe-to-visual and concept-screen generation.
Diagrams, signage, and infographics
Render flowcharts, labeled diagrams, storefront signage, and infographics where accurate words and structure are the point. This is the workload where GPT Image 2 most clearly beats photorealism-first models.
Masked image editing
Use the edit mode with an optional mask to swap a product, change text on a sign, or repaint a region of an existing image while leaving the rest untouched — priced per image, same as generation.
High-volume batch generation
Spin up large batches of variants and keep spend forecastable with Prospolabs' flat per-image rate. Run cheap exploratory passes at Low/Medium and reserve High for final hero assets.

Call GPT Image 2 from your code
Call GPT Image 2 through one Prospolabs endpoint for both workflows. You pay the same USD-per-image price whether you call the API or use the UI, and failed runs are auto-refunded.

GPT Image 2 FAQ
On Prospolabs, GPT Image 2 is priced as a flat USD amount per image by quality tier: Low $0.0072/image, Medium $0.028/image, and High $0.077/image. Those are roughly 40% off the retail rates of $0.012, $0.047, and $0.128. There is no token math — the per-image price is the whole cost, and the same price applies to UI and API calls.
No. On Prospolabs, the edit (image-to-image) mode and the generate (text-to-image) mode cost the same per-image price at a given quality tier. An edited image at Medium quality costs $0.028 just like a generated one. You only pay more if you choose a higher quality tier or a larger output size.
The tiers trade detail and fidelity against price: Low ($0.0072) is for cheap drafts and exploration, Medium ($0.028) is the balanced production default, and High ($0.077) maximizes fidelity for final hero assets. A useful rule of thumb is that Medium captures most of the quality of High at a fraction of the cost, so it is the right default for most work on Prospolabs.
Run it on Prospolabs, where every tier is about 40% off retail and priced as a flat USD-per-image rate with no subscription and no token overhead. To minimize spend further, default to the Medium tier, use Low for exploratory passes, reserve High for finals, and keep output sizes as small as the use case allows.
Yes. GPT Image 2 supports an edit mode (image-to-image) on Prospolabs that takes an existing image plus an optional mask. The mask lets you repaint or replace a specific region — swap a product, change text on a sign, or alter one element — while leaving the rest of the image untouched.
It depends on the job. GPT Image 2 leads on readable in-image text, signage, UI and diagram layouts, and structural control. Nano Banana 2 (and Nano Banana Pro) lean toward photorealism and speed. Choose GPT Image 2 when the words and layout on the image matter; choose Nano Banana for photoreal scenes. Both are available on Prospolabs, so you can test side by side.
Yes. GPT Image 2 generations on Prospolabs are intended for commercial use. You pay per image in USD with pay-as-you-go billing, and there is no separate license tier required to use outputs in products, marketing, or client work.
GPT Image 2 supports output dimensions in multiples of 16, up to roughly a 4K edge. Larger sizes use more compute, so pick the smallest size that meets your need. Transparent backgrounds are not supported. The per-image tier price (Low/Medium/High) is what determines cost on Prospolabs.
