GPT Image 2

gpt-image-2 supports text-to-image generation and image editing with OpenAI-compatible size and quality controls.

API surface

Operation	Endpoint	Mode
Image generation	POST /v1/images/generations	Sync
Image generation task	POST /v1/async/images/generations	Async
Image editing	POST /v1/images/edits	Sync
Image editing task	POST /v1/async/images/edits	Async

Pricing

Credits per image are determined by output size tier and quality. quality=auto is billed at the same rate as high, and size=auto defaults to the 1K tier.

Size tier	Long edge	low	medium	high / auto
1K	<= 1536px	1	4	14
2K	<= 2048px	2	17	67
4K	<= 3840px	4	34	133

The displayed costCredits for a request equals the matrix value times n.

Request fields

Send the common fields at the top level. Put the model-specific controls listed below inside providerOptions.

Field	Type	Required	Description
model	string	Yes	gpt-image-2. Case-sensitive model ID.
prompt	string	Yes	Describe the subject, composition, style, and requested edits. Pixapi keeps the first 2,000 characters; provide a non-empty prompt for both generation and editing.
n	integer	No	Default 1; only integer 1 is supported.
size	string	No	Use pixel dimensions WIDTHxHEIGHT, for example 1024x1024. Default auto. Custom dimensions: multiples of 16, longest edge ≤ 3840, aspect ratio ≤ 3:1, total pixels 655,360–8,294,400.
image	string / string[]	For edits	Public HTTP(S) image URL or URL array; required on /images/edits. Up to 14 URLs; Base64 input is not supported.
quality	string	No	auto (default), low, medium, or high. Higher quality can take longer.
providerOptions	object	No	Model-specific options; see the table below.

providerOptions

All fields in this table are nested inside providerOptions, not alongside model.

Field	Type	Description
output_format	string	Output image format: png (default, keeps transparency), jpeg (smaller files, no alpha), or webp (supports transparency).
background	string	Background mode: auto (default), opaque, or transparent. transparent can only be combined with output_format: "png" or output_format: "webp"; JPEG does not support an alpha channel.
moderation	string	Content moderation strictness: auto (default) or low (more permissive).
output_compression	integer	Output compression level 0–100; applies only to jpeg and webp output.
mask_url	string	Public PNG mask URL for inpainting. Requires image; dimensions must match the first image. Transparent pixels mark the area to edit. Use a PNG with an alpha channel, under 4 MB.
nsfw_check	boolean	Optional prompt/image moderation; default false.

Input rules

Pixapi accepts one output and up to 14 reference images. Output pixels are selected with size.
