# GPT Image 2 is live

> LLMEasy updated GPT Image 2 on April 29, 2026 for high-quality image generation, posters, marketing assets, and visual drafts.

Release date: April 29, 2026

LLMEasy has added the `gpt-image-2` image generation model entry. Check the <a href={"https://www.llmeasy.ru/pricing"}>model plaza</a> for the currently available model ID, then call it through the OpenAI-compatible image generation API.

OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Images 2.0 on April 21, 2026 and lists `gpt-image-2` as the latest GPT Image model in its developer docs. OpenAI describes GPT Image 2 as a model for fast, high-quality image generation and editing, with text and image input, image output, flexible sizes, and high-fidelity image inputs.

## Highlights

* **Higher image quality**: OpenAI marks GPT Image 2 as its highest-performance image generation model, suited for polished visual assets
* **More flexible sizes**: `gpt-image-2` supports more valid image dimensions, including common square, landscape, portrait, 2K, and 4K use cases; sizes above 2K are currently experimental
* **Higher-fidelity image input**: In image editing and reference-image workflows, `gpt-image-2` processes image inputs at high fidelity, useful for product photos, portraits, and brand assets
* **Stronger text and complex information**: OpenAI's system card says ChatGPT Images 2.0 improves world knowledge, instruction following, dense text, and complex detail generation
* **Streaming partial images**: The Image API can return partial images through `stream` and `partial_images`, making product experiences feel more responsive

## Good use cases

* Product launch posters, campaign assets, and social images
* Illustrations for docs, blogs, and long-form articles
* Visual concept drafts for apps, websites, and SaaS interfaces
* Product images, advertising images, and brand direction exploration
* Visual content that includes Chinese or multilingual text

## API setup

For the OpenAI-compatible protocol, use:

| Setting        | Value                                |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `Base URL`     | `https://www.llmeasy.ru/v1`          |
| Authentication | `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` |
| Model ID       | `gpt-image-2`                        |
| Endpoint       | `POST /v1/images/generations`        |

```bash theme={null}
curl https://www.llmeasy.ru/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLMEASY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-image-2",
    "prompt": "Create a modern Chinese launch poster for an AI coding tool, with a clear headline, product UI, and clean background",
    "size": "1024x1024",
    "quality": "high"
  }' | jq -r '.data[0].b64_json' | base64 --decode > gpt-image-2.png
```

For the full parameter list, see the [text-to-image documentation](/en/api-reference/images-generations).

## Setup guidance

If you use your own application, script, or external tool, confirm that it supports the OpenAI-compatible image generation endpoint. Image generation uses `https://www.llmeasy.ru/v1`; do not use the Claude Code / Anthropic protocol endpoint.

Copy the current model ID from the <a href={"https://www.llmeasy.ru/pricing"}>model plaza</a>. Do not use ChatGPT UI mode names as API parameters.

## Notes

* Image generation averages about `100` to `200` seconds. Set client, gateway, or external-tool request timeouts above `300` seconds, and show a waiting state in your application.
* `gpt-image-2` currently does not support transparent backgrounds. Generate a non-transparent image first, then remove the background with another image tool if needed.
* Image results are returned as `b64_json` by default. Decode the base64 value before saving the image.
* Large, high-quality images can increase latency and cost. Use `quality: "low"` for previews.
* Review images with text, layout, and brand elements before publishing them.
