GPT Image 2 — complete tutorial

GPT Image 2 is positioned around OpenAI’s image line for sharp, prompt-faithful stills—think product heroes, packaging, posters, and UI frames. On Pixocto the workflow matches other image routes: references, aspect ratio, iteration, and credits in one workbench; routing details follow the in-app model description.

1. When GPT Image 2 vs Nano Banana 2

Use GPT Image 2 when you want marketing-forward language in prompts (headlines, offer copy) with layout discipline, or when your team standardizes on OpenAI-style prompting. Use Nano Banana 2 when you already rely on Gemini-era reference stacks or need the Nano-specific controls you are used to. You can keep both in rotation and compare outputs for the same brief.

2. Prompting for layout-heavy frames

State the canvas role explicitly: “hero product center, soft gradient backdrop, legal line along bottom edge.” Mention typography hierarchy (“primary headline sans-serif, secondary line smaller”). If text must be readable, specify size words (“large headline, high contrast”) rather than “nice font.”

3. References and brand-safe outputs

Upload packshots or mood frames, then describe the delta: “keep bottle silhouette, change surface to frosted glass, cooler highlights.” Avoid asking for trademarked logos you do not own; instead describe generic placement blocks (“rectangular logo area top-right”).

4. Iteration checklist

First pass: composition + lighting + palette.
Second pass: text placement and contrast.
Third pass: micro-edits (grain, vignette, sharpness) without rewriting the whole scene.

5. Credits and QA

Batch variants for A/B ads, then lock the winner before upscaling or exporting. Always visually proofread generated text and legal lines before publishing.

6. On Pixocto

Pick the GPT Image 2 route in the image workbench, attach references if needed, set ratio and resolution, generate, then refine with short follow-ups. The model hub at the end of this article summarizes positioning and sample prompts when you need a shareable entry point.
