What are the best GPT Image 2 prompts?

GPT Image 2 prompts work best when they read like a design brief: what the image is for (poster, thumbnail, product shot), the scene and subject, the details, then the constraints — with any words that must appear in quotes. That's the order OpenAI's own prompting guide recommends. Below are 47 prompts with their real outputs from GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, to copy or open in one click.

Tips

How to write a GPT Image 2 prompt

Six rules from OpenAI's prompting guide, and the habits behind the prompts in this library.

  • Start with what the image is for — “YouTube thumbnail”, “product photo”, “movie poster” — so the model picks the right layout and polish.

  • Order the rest as scene, subject, details, constraints. Short labelled lines beat one long paragraph.

  • Put every word that must appear in quotes or ALL CAPS, say where it goes and in what lettering. Spell unusual names letter by letter.

  • For photos, write “photorealistic” and give the lens and light: “35mm, soft overcast light”.

  • For edits, say “change only…” and end with “keep everything else the same” — and repeat that keep list on every follow-up.

  • With several references, label them: “Image 1: the product. Image 2: the style.” Then say what moves where.

FAQ

GPT Image 2 prompts questions

What are the best GPT Image 2 prompts?

The ones written like a brief: what the image is for, the scene, the subject, the details, then the constraints, with any text in quotes. The 47 prompts on this page cover posters, logos, thumbnails, UI, product shots, photoreal people, anime and photo edits, and each one is shown with the image it really produced.

How do I write a GPT Image 2 prompt?

Follow the order in OpenAI's prompting guide: background or scene, subject, key details, constraints. Say what the image is for first, put every word that must appear in quotes, and for photos include “photorealistic” and the light. Then refine with one small change at a time instead of rewriting the whole prompt.

How do I get text right in GPT Image 2?

Put the exact words in quotes or capitals, say where they go and what the lettering looks like, and spell unusual names letter by letter. OpenAI recommends medium or high quality for small text and dense layouts. Always proofread: the model can still slip on long or tiny text.

Are there GPT Image 2 anime prompts?

Yes — the Anime & comics filter has a manga volume cover, a four-panel manga page, a lo-fi anime album cover, an original anime creature and two comic strips. Name the style (“cel shading”, “screentone”, “manga page read right to left”) and the panel layout, and keep any dialogue short and in quotes.

Do these prompts work in ChatGPT?

Yes. ChatGPT Images 2.0 runs on GPT Image 2, and these are plain-language prompts, so you can paste them into ChatGPT. The images here were made on Kenerate; a different app, size or quality setting will give a different result. For prompts written for the ChatGPT app itself, see our ChatGPT image prompts post.

What's the difference between GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst?

Both are OpenAI models on Kenerate with up to 16 references and 1K to 4K output. GPT Image 2 has three quality tiers; GPT Image 2.5 comes in two versions with five tiers up to Max — Sunburst spends longer per image for fine detail, Flare is the fast one. Every card on this page says which model made it.

How do I edit my own photo with GPT Image 2?

Upload the photo in Image Studio, pick GPT Image 2 or GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, and write “change only…”, then “keep everything else the same”, listing what matters — face, hair, background, text. Repeat that keep list on every follow-up so nothing drifts. Use only your own photos or ones you have permission to edit.

Can I use the images commercially?

Images you make on Kenerate download without a watermark and include commercial use. Make sure your prompt doesn't copy a real brand, logo or person you don't have rights to — the prompts here use fictional names for that reason.

GPT Image 2 prompts, explained

What works, what to avoid, and how to pick a model.

Why GPT Image 2 prompts read like a brief

OpenAI's prompting guide says to name the intended use — an ad, a UI mock-up, an infographic — because that sets the layout and the level of polish, and to write the prompt in the order scene, subject, key details, constraints. GPT Image 2 reads full sentences, so a clear brief beats a list of keywords.
