ChatGPT Image 2 — OpenAI's second-generation image model, also referred to as GPT Image 2 — is available on aicut as part of the multi-model AI image suite. You don't need a separate OpenAI subscription to use it: access it directly from aicut's model selector alongside nano-banana-pro, gpt-image-1, and other image models.

What ChatGPT Image 2 Does Well

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's most capable image generation model, with three core strengths that distinguish it from other models:

Instruction-following fidelity: GPT Image 2 handles multi-part, detailed prompts better than almost any current image model. You can specify 5–7 distinct elements in a prompt and expect each to appear correctly in the output.

Text in images: Signs, labels, book covers, packaging, posters — GPT Image 2 renders readable, correctly spelled text in images more reliably than models built on diffusion architectures. If your image needs legible text, GPT Image 2 is the right choice.

Photorealistic product and scene rendering: Product photography, interior design renders, architectural visualization — scenarios requiring visual realism with specific object placement are where GPT Image 2 performs best.

How to Write Effective Prompts for ChatGPT Image 2

GPT Image 2 processes prompts more like a language model than a diffusion model — it "understands" the prompt rather than pattern-matching from training distribution. This means:

Be specific and descriptive:

A glass perfume bottle with a gold cap, sitting on a white marble surface. 
The bottle is half-full with amber liquid. Natural side lighting. 
Blurry floral background out of focus. Commercial photography style.

State what's NOT in the image when helpful:

A modern kitchen interior. Clean, minimalist. No people. No food on counter. 
Natural morning light from window on the left. Marble island.

Specify text exactly when needed:

A coffee shop sign in weathered wood with the words 'OPEN' in hand-lettered style. 
Vintage aesthetic. White lettering on dark wood.

10 Prompts for ChatGPT Image 2

Product Photography

A luxury watch lying on black velvet fabric. Close-up of the face. Gold and silver details. Studio lighting with subtle reflection below.
A skincare serum bottle — clear glass, gold cap, minimal label — on a wet stone surface. Eucalyptus leaves in the background. Beauty product photography.
A hardcover book titled "The Architecture of Tomorrow" on a wooden desk next to a white coffee mug. Morning light through a window. No people.

Photorealistic Scenes

The interior of a Japanese ramen restaurant at night. Low lighting, red lanterns. A steaming bowl of ramen in the foreground. Empty seats.
A rooftop terrace in Barcelona at sunset. White linen furniture. Potted olive trees. City skyline in the background, warm golden hour light.
A library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a rolling ladder, warm lamp light. Leather armchairs. No people. Deep depth of field.

Text-in-Image Content

A chalkboard menu for a coffee shop with "ESPRESSO $3 | LATTE $5 | COLD BREW $4" written in clean chalk lettering. Cafe background.
A motivational poster: clean sans-serif type reading "MAKE IT HAPPEN" in large black letters on white background. Minimal. No decoration.
A notebook cover with the handwritten words "Morning Pages" in black ink. Kraft paper texture. Ribbon bookmark.

Mixed Complexity

A scientist's laboratory desk at midnight. Scattered papers, test tubes in a rack, a glowing laptop screen. A single desk lamp provides warm light. The desk has the handwritten label "EXPERIMENT 7" on a sticky note.

ChatGPT Image 2 vs. Other Image Models

When to use GPT Image 2:

Prompt has 4+ distinct elements that all need to appear correctly
Image requires readable, specific text
Realistic commercial photography style is needed
Precise object placement matters

When another model may be better:

Highly stylized, artistic, or illustration-style outputs → try nano-banana-pro
Fastest possible generation for iteration → try nano-banana-2-flash
Anime or comic art styles → nano-banana-2

Accessing ChatGPT Image 2 on aicut

aicut provides GPT Image 2 alongside nano-banana-pro, gpt-image-1, and the full nano-banana-2 family — all from one model selector, with no separate API subscriptions needed.

Recommended workflow:

Draft your prompt with as much specificity as possible
Generate in GPT Image 2
If the output is too literal or lacks artistic quality, compare against nano-banana-pro on the same prompt
For final commercial/product use, GPT Image 2 typically wins on instruction adherence; nano-banana-pro often wins on aesthetic richness
