What GPT Image 2 is for
- Anything with words in it — headlines, packaging, signage, UI mockups. This is the one that gets type right.
- Transparent backgrounds: it is the only model here with a background control, so cut-outs come out ready to place.
- Batches — it makes up to 10 images per call, so a set of four arrives in one round trip rather than four.
- Watching it draw: it streams partial previews, so you can kill a bad generation early instead of paying for it.
- Precise edits to an existing image, with up to 16 references — the highest reference budget of any model here.

A dash under “Max res” means the model has no resolution setting to choose — it returns its own native size — not that it is limited to a small one. “Text in image” marks the model with per-tier quality control and a background setting — GPT Image 2 — which is the one built for legible type and clean cut-outs.
