Guide
Guide coming with gpt-image-2 launch
The full gpt-image-2 prompting guide ships alongside the model. In the meantime, the library below is the short version, every entry is a working starting point you can copy and adapt today.
Prompt structure
Subject, setting, lighting, style, mood. That order usually works, and small changes to any one layer give big shifts in the output.
Styles that carry
Photographic, illustrative, editorial, and poster all render cleanly. Say which one up front rather than bolting it on at the end.
Text inside images
Use quoted strings for on-image text. Keep it short, and specify a font family or casing to reduce variance.
Aspect ratios
16:9 works for hero art, 4:5 for product, 9:16 for mobile screens, 21:9 for cinematic widescreen.
