# OpenClaw で GPT Image を使う。

GPT Image 2 は OpenAI の専用画像生成モデルです——テキスト→画像と指示ベースの画像編集に対応し、出力解像度は最大 4K、透明背景もサポートします。OpenClaw agent は、チャットで使うのと同じ RunAPI キーと /v1 エンドポイントで呼び出し、追加の skill をインストールする必要はありません。

## API example

```bash
curl -X POST https://runapi.ai/v1/text_to_image \
  -H &quot;Authorization: Bearer $RUNAPI_API_KEY&quot; \
  -H &quot;Content-Type: application/json&quot; \
  -d &#39;{
    &quot;model&quot;: &quot;gpt-image-2-text-to-image&quot;,
    &quot;prompt&quot;: &quot;A product photo of a glass perfume bottle on a marble surface, transparent background, studio lighting, the label reads AURORA in gold serif font&quot;,
    &quot;output_resolution&quot;: &quot;2k&quot;,
    &quot;aspect_ratio&quot;: &quot;3:4&quot;
  }&#39;

```

### Response

```json
{
  &quot;task_id&quot;: &quot;tsk_abc123&quot;,
  &quot;status&quot;: &quot;pending&quot;,
  &quot;model&quot;: &quot;gpt-image-2-text-to-image&quot;
}

```

## How it works

1. **Configure RunAPI** — Set the RUNAPI_API_KEY environment variable in your shell profile. If RunAPI is already configured in OpenClaw for chat, the same key works for GPT Image — no additional setup needed.
2. **Call GPT Image 2** — Send a POST request to the text_to_image endpoint with model set to gpt-image-2-text-to-image. Include a descriptive prompt with layout and style instructions. Set output_resolution to 2k or 4k for higher detail. For editing existing images, use the edit_image endpoint with gpt-image-2-image-to-image and provide source_image_urls.
3. **Get the result** — The API returns a task_id immediately. Poll the task status endpoint until the status changes to completed, then retrieve the output image URL from the response. GPT Image 2 typically completes within 10–30 seconds depending on resolution.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `model` | `string` | Required. gpt-image-2-text-to-image for generation, gpt-image-2-image-to-image for editing. |
| `prompt` | `string` | Required. Natural language description of the desired image. Supports detailed instructions for layout, text overlays, and style. |
| `output_resolution` | `string` | Optional. Output resolution — 1k (default), 2k, or 4k. Higher resolution costs more per image. |
| `aspect_ratio` | `string` | Optional. Defaults to auto. Supports 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, and more. |
| `source_image_urls` | `array` | Required for edit_image endpoint. One or more URLs of source images to edit. |

## FAQ

### Can I use GPT Image 2 in OpenClaw?

Yes. OpenClaw agents call GPT Image 2 through the RunAPI text_to_image endpoint. Set the model field to gpt-image-2-text-to-image and send the request with the same RUNAPI_API_KEY you use for chat. No extra skills or plugins required.

### What is the difference between GPT Image 2 and GPT-4o Image?

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI&#39;s dedicated image generation model with higher quality, 4K output, and transparent background support. GPT-4o Image generates images within a chat context but is limited to 1:1, 3:2, or 2:3 aspect ratios. Both are available through RunAPI — use gpt-image-2-text-to-image for standalone generation and gpt-4o-image for chat-integrated image output.

### Does GPT Image 2 support transparent backgrounds?

Yes. GPT Image 2 can output images with transparent backgrounds when instructed in the prompt. This is useful for product photos, logos, and UI elements. Specify transparency in your prompt — for example, &quot;product photo with transparent background.&quot;

### How does GPT Image 2 pricing work on RunAPI?

GPT Image 2 is billed per image based on output resolution: 1k is the lowest cost, 2k is mid-range, and 4k is the most expensive. The same rate applies to both text_to_image and edit_image. Check the RunAPI pricing page for current per-image rates. Failed generations are not charged.

### Can I edit an existing image with GPT Image 2?

Yes. Use the edit_image endpoint with model set to gpt-image-2-image-to-image. Pass the source image URLs in source_image_urls and describe the edit in the prompt — for example, &quot;change the background to a beach sunset&quot; or &quot;add a red hat to the person.&quot; GPT Image 2 follows natural language editing instructions.
