OpenAI GPT-Image-1

GPT‑Image‑1 brings OpenAI's conversational approach to image generation. You can describe a scene, review the output and ask for adjustments in a dialogue loop. Images render at resolutions up to 4096×4096 pixels, suitable even for print. The model cannot directly edit an uploaded picture, but you can request new variations until you achieve the desired result.

Prompting Tips
