## What makes ChatGPT Image 2 different

ChatGPT Image 2 is OpenAI's first image model built on GPT-5.4 — their most capable reasoning architecture. Unlike previous image models, gpt-image-2 actively *thinks* before generating: it plans composition, resolves spatial relationships, and interprets multi-part instructions before a single pixel is produced.

The result is near-perfect in-image text accuracy (99%+) across dozens of languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and Bengali, comprehensive prompt fidelity for complex multi-element scenes, and character consistency across batches of up to 10 images. It ranks #1 on all Image Arena leaderboards with a +242 point lead at launch.

## Capabilities

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Near-perfect text rendering">
    99%+ accuracy for in-image text including multilingual scripts — CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), Indic (Hindi, Bengali), and more. The strongest model for infographics, posters, and text-heavy layouts.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Reasoning-driven generation">
    Powered by GPT-5.4's reasoning capabilities. The model plans composition, resolves spatial relationships, and interprets complex multi-element prompts before generating — yielding higher instruction fidelity than any prior model.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Character consistency across batches">
    Generates up to 10 images per prompt while maintaining consistent facial features, clothing, expressions, and visual identity across different scenes and poses.
  </Card>

  <Card title="World-knowledge grounding">
    GPT-5.4's knowledge base enables accurate rendering of logos, national flags, landmarks, scientific diagrams, and UI mockups that other models typically misrepresent.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Natural language editing">
    Describe changes in plain English — the model applies them without requiring manual mask drawing. Also supports mask-based inpainting and outpainting for precise region-level control.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Multi-reference compositing">
    Accepts up to 10 reference images for editing — combine subjects, backgrounds, products, and styles in a single generation with accurate spatial and stylistic coherence.
  </Card>

## Prompting tips

* **Name text content explicitly** — Include exact wording, language, font style, and placement. Example: *"A poster with the Japanese title '春の祭り' in bold brushstroke style at the top."*
* **Use it for knowledge-dependent visuals** — Prompts referencing specific brands, flags, scientific concepts, or real-world diagrams produce accurate results that other models get wrong.
* **Leverage reasoning for complex scenes** — Describe spatial relationships, layering, and composition constraints directly: *"Three-column infographic: icons left, data center, footnotes right."*
* **For editing, specify what to preserve** — *"Change the background to a night city skyline but keep the subject's lighting, pose, and outfit exactly as-is."*
* **Multi-image consistency** — To generate scene variations, describe all scenes in a single prompt. The model will maintain visual identity across all outputs.

### Example prompts

> A bilingual product packaging label for "Alpine Spring Water" — English headline at top, Japanese subtitle 天然湧水 below, mountain waterfall illustration, clean minimal design, blue and white palette.

> A six-panel manga page: a samurai confronts a dragon in a bamboo forest. Consistent character design, bold linework, speech bubbles with legible Japanese text, dramatic panel transitions.

> A scientific infographic illustrating CRISPR gene editing — labeled molecular diagrams, step-by-step breakdown, clean white background, accurate scientific notation, sans-serif type throughout.

> A social media post for a coffee shop grand opening: warm amber tones, latte art, bold text reading "Now Open — Shibuya, Tokyo" in English and Japanese, minimal modern layout.
