Scale Detail to the Deliverable
Choose 1K, 2K, or 4K when you need more detail for product shots, ads, social posts, or presentations.

Design Copy and Image as One Poster
Describe the brand treatment, hierarchy, language mix, grid, and required callouts in the same brief. This gives the model enough production context to stage copy with the artwork. Proofread every word and confirm dates, addresses, and claims before release.
| Prompt | Generated Image |
|---|---|
A coffee shop opening poster for 'Kizuna Matcha' in Brooklyn Heights, modern Japanese brand style mixing crisp English headlines with smaller Japanese supporting text, soft magazine-grade typography, pastel color palette, balanced grid layout with location and opening date callouts. |  |
Turn an Outline Into a Structured Graphic
List the sections, labels, visual order, and style instead of asking for a generic infographic. The generated frame can serve as a design direction or content draft. A human reviewer must verify facts, labels, and internal logic.
| Prompt | Generated Image |
|---|---|
A clean editorial information graphic titled '2025 Design Trends' that highlights six trends including Analog + AI fusion, shape-driven layouts, and tactile collage. Magazine-style grid, balanced spacing, every label legible at print resolution, with no garbled text or misplaced icons. |  |
Reserve Resolution for Texture-Heavy Stills
Select the output setting that matches your use case. GPT Image 2 supports 1K and 2K for everyday work, with 4K available on supported accounts and aspect ratios for sharper detail.
| Prompt | Generated Image |
|---|---|
A cinematic photoreal portrait at a coastal highway pullout under cloudy skies. A person in a brown jacket glances back over their shoulder toward the camera, with misty cliffs and ocean haze filling the background. Render every fabric weave, weathered jacket fold, and distant rock face with native 4K detail. |  |
Block a Multi-Panel Narrative
Spell out the page format, recurring character, caption language, action beats, and drawing treatment. A single generation can then function as a coherent story-page concept. Check reading order, repeated character details, and every speech element in the final review.
| Prompt | Generated Image |
|---|---|
A vertical Japanese shonen-style manga page about a young adventurer discovering a glowing magical quill in ancient ruins. Authentic Japanese typography in panel captions, dialogue balloons and SFX, cinematic paneling, motion lines, and dynamic action poses across the page. |  |

GPT Image 2 FAQ
Answers about GPT Image 2 controls, cost, references, and delivery on Shotyard.
What is GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's model for image generation and instruction-led editing. The Shotyard workspace supports prompt-only jobs and reference-based jobs through the same generator.
Can signup credits cover a GPT Image 2 image?
New accounts receive 10 credits. GPT Image 2 uses 15 credits, so it is not covered by signup credits alone.
How are multiple GPT Image 2 outputs charged?
The listed rate applies to one image. Every additional output is billed at the chosen resolution rate, so producing several images multiplies the credit use.
Which resolutions and ratios are offered?
Choose 1K, 2K, or an eligible 4K tier with 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, or 3:4. The 1:1 canvas cannot use 4K.
How many reference images can I upload?
You can add up to 16 JPEG, PNG, or WebP files. Each reference can be as large as 20MB.
How long can the prompt be?
The generator accepts up to 20,000 characters, which leaves room for copy, hierarchy, visual constraints, and detailed art direction.
How long does GPT Image 2 usually version?
The configured estimate is about one minute. Actual completion depends on provider load and queue conditions.
Should generated typography be proofread?
Yes. Review spelling, names, dates, numbers, legal lines, and multilingual copy just as you would proof a human-made layout.
