Advanced AI Image Generation with GPT Image 2
OpenAI's most advanced image model. GPT Image 2 generates and edits images at 1K, 2K, or 4K with three quality levels, native transparent backgrounds, up to 10 input images for editing and reference, and batch output of up to 4 images per run.
What makes GPT Image 2 different
Native transparent backgrounds
GPT Image 2 renders straight to transparency — set Background to transparent (with PNG output) and you get clean cutouts without a separate background-removal step. That's a genuine pipeline shortcut for product shots, stickers, logos, and any asset headed for compositing, and on a Scenetra board the transparent output feeds directly into downstream nodes.
A quality dial with real range
Three rendering levels — low, medium, high — let you match spend to purpose within one node. Low is a fast draft mode from $0.005 per image; medium is the everyday default ($0.03 at 1K); high is the tier for finals, up to $0.08 at 4K. Iterate low, deliver high, all on the same prompt.
Editing and reference with up to 10 images
Attach up to 10 input images and GPT Image 2 becomes an editor: revise a shot, apply a described change, or draw on references for style and subject. OpenAI's instruction-following heritage shows here — complex, multi-clause edit prompts tend to land the way you wrote them.
Up to 4 images per run, 1K to 4K
Generate up to 4 variations in a single run and pick the winner, then re-render at 2K or 4K for delivery. Eleven aspect ratios cover every standard canvas, and the Auto ratio (1K only) lets the model choose framing itself. Everything is billed at provider cost with 0% markup.

What is GPT Image 2?+
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's most advanced image generation model. It creates images from text and edits from up to 10 input images, at 1K, 2K, or 4K resolution with three quality levels, native transparent backgrounds, and up to 4 images per run. On Scenetra it runs as a node in the visual workflow editor.
How much does GPT Image 2 cost?+
From $0.005 per image on Scenetra. Low quality runs $0.005 at 1K or 2K and $0.012 at 4K; medium is $0.03 at 1K, $0.042 at 2K, and $0.101 at 4K; high is $0.03 at 1K, $0.05 at 2K, and $0.08 at 4K. The node shows the exact price for your chosen settings before you run, and billing is per generation at provider cost with 0% markup.
Can GPT Image 2 generate transparent backgrounds?+
Yes — transparency is a native output option. Set Background to transparent and Output Format to PNG, and the model renders directly to an alpha channel with no separate cutout step.
Can GPT Image 2 edit existing images?+
Yes. Attach up to 10 input images and describe the edit or use them as style and subject references. On a Scenetra board, inputs can also be the outputs of other nodes, so GPT Image 2 can serve as an editing stage in a longer pipeline.
What do the quality levels change?+
Quality controls how much rendering effort the model spends. Low is a fast draft tier from $0.005 per image, medium is the balanced default, and high is the premium tier for final assets. A common workflow is iterating at low and re-running the final prompt at medium or high.
What resolutions and aspect ratios are supported?+
Three resolutions — 1K, 2K, and 4K — and eleven aspect ratios from 21:9 ultrawide to 9:16 vertical. The Auto ratio, where the model picks the framing itself, is available at 1K only.
Do I need an OpenAI API key to use GPT Image 2 on Scenetra?+
No. Scenetra handles the infrastructure — you sign up, drop a GPT Image 2 node on a board, and generate. New accounts include free welcome credits and a 7-day trial; after that it's pay-per-generation from your credit balance with no subscription required.
