GPT-Image-1
OpenAI · GPT Image
OpenAI image generation model for prompt-driven creation and iterative editing workflows.
Overview
Freshness note: Model capabilities, limits, and pricing can change quickly. This profile is a point-in-time snapshot last verified on February 15, 2026.
GPT-Image-1 is OpenAI’s image generation model for API and product workflows that need image creation and editing from prompts. It is aimed at teams building visual features rather than purely text assistants.
Capabilities
The model supports text-to-image style generation and iterative image refinement patterns. It is useful for concept visuals, campaign assets, and embedded product generation tools.
Technical Details
Token-centric context/output fields are not directly meaningful for this image model. In this repository, contextWindow and maxOutput are set to 0 intentionally and should be interpreted as N/A for token displays.
Pricing & Access
GPT-Image-1 is exposed through OpenAI API model surfaces. Pricing and feature coverage can vary by channel and may change, so verify official OpenAI pricing docs before launch.
Best Use Cases
Use GPT-Image-1 for image ideation services, creative tooling prototypes, marketing asset workflows, and product experiences requiring fast visual generation loops.
Comparisons
Compared with Imagen 4, GPT-Image-1 differences are often ecosystem and quality-style dependent. Compared with Midjourney-style tools, GPT-Image-1 is more API-oriented for product integration. Third-party benchmark views (for example Artificial Analysis methodology) can help triangulate output quality, but should not replace task-specific evaluation.
