GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's newest image model, notable for near-perfect multilingual text rendering. Through RunAPI, both text-to-image and image editing endpoints share one key.
A single RunAPI API key unlocks the whole model catalog across all providers. No separate accounts to create, no API keys to rotate per integration, and no credential management overhead. Add a new model to your app by changing one parameter.
Per-call pricing in USD, billed monthly into a single invoice. No subscription tiers, no minimum spend, and failed generations are never charged. The pricing page and check_pricing API show exact costs before you commit to a model.
Typed schemas, parameter constraints, and setup notes are packaged in the model skill so your implementation starts from the right contract. The skill loads into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and VS Code — your agent knows the correct request shape before you write a line of code.
GPT Image 2 renders text across many languages — roughly 99% accuracy for English and Latin scripts, and around 95%+ for non-Latin scripts like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic.
Choose 1K, 2K, or 4K output (default 1K). Both the text-to-image and image editing endpoints support these resolutions.
Thinking mode lets the model reason about composition and layout before generating, improving accuracy for complex multi-element scenes and precise text placement.
It renders CJK characters, Arabic, Cyrillic, and other scripts with near-native accuracy — a significant improvement over prior image generation models.
Yes — generate from text, then refine with image editing. Both endpoints share the same API shape.
Pick the cheapest variant that meets your quality bar. Most teams start on the fast variant and graduate to pro for production.
