GPT Image 2 Image Generation Beta
- GPT Image 2 (gpt-image-2-beta) model supports text-to-image, image-to-image, and image editing modes
- Asynchronous processing mode, use the returned task ID to query status
- Generated image links are valid for 24 hours, please save them promptly
Billing (per_call, by resolution tier):
autoorratio + resolution: billed by theresolutionfield at 1K / 2K / 4K (seeresolution)- Explicit pixels
WxH: auto-bucketed by total pixels — total ≤ 1.7 MP → 1K, total > 1.7 MP and ≤ 4.4 MP → 2K, total > 4.4 MP → 4K nis fixed at 1;qualityis not exposed on this channel

Aspect ratio of the generated image. Choose one of the supported ratios, or use auto to let the model decide:
auto: Determined automatically by the model (default), billed at the 1K tier1:1: Square3:2/2:3: Landscape / Portrait4:3/3:4: Landscape / Portrait5:4/4:5: Common social media16:9/9:16: Widescreen landscape / portrait21:9/9:21: Ultra-wide landscape / portrait2:1/1:2: Landscape / Portrait3:1/1:3: Panorama landscape / portrait
Explicit pixels WxH are also supported (e.g. 1024x1024 / 1920x1080 / 3840x2160). When using explicit pixels, the resolution field is ignored, and the billing tier is auto-bucketed by total pixels:
- Total pixels ≤ 1.7 MP → 1K
- Total pixels > 1.7 MP and ≤ 4.4 MP → 2K
- Total pixels > 4.4 MP → 4K
Hard pixel limits:
- Both width and height must be multiples of
16 - Total pixels:
655,360(≈ 0.65 MP) ~8,294,400(≈ 8.29 MP) - Each side ≤

]HTTPS callback URL for task completion
Callback Timing:
- Triggered when task is completed, failed, or cancelled
- Sent after billing confirmation
Security Restrictions:
- HTTPS protocol only
- Internal IP addresses are prohibited (127.0.0.1, 10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 192.168.x.x, etc.)
