# GPT-Image Series Image Generation

> Overview of OpenAI GPT-Image series image generation models, including GPT-Image-1.5 and GPT-Image-1, accessible via APIYI.

The OpenAI GPT-Image series is one of the most advanced AI image generation model families, supporting text-to-image generation, image editing, and more. APIYI fully supports the GPT-Image series with complete compatibility with the OpenAI official Image API format.

## Model Comparison

| Feature | GPT-Image-1.5 | GPT-Image-1 | GPT-Image-1-Mini |
| - | - | - | - |
| **Release Date** | December 2025 | April 2025 | April 2025 |
| **Generation Speed** | Ultra fast (under 10s) | Standard | Faster |
| **Text Rendering** | Excellent (dense text, tables) | Good | Good |
| **Editing Capability** | High-precision element preservation | Standard | Standard |
| **Instruction Following** | More precise | Standard | Standard |
| **Input Price** | \$5.00 / million tokens | \$2.50 / million tokens | Lower |
| **Output Price** | \$10.00 / million tokens | \$8.00 / million tokens | Lower |
| **Best For** | Professional design, branding, infographics | General image generation | Rapid prototyping, batch generation |

<Tip>
  **How to Choose?**

  * Need precise text rendering, brand assets, infographics → **GPT-Image-1.5**
  * General image generation, budget-conscious → **GPT-Image-1**
  * Rapid iteration, batch production → **GPT-Image-1-Mini**
</Tip>

## Quick Start

All GPT-Image models share the same API format — just change the `model` parameter to switch:

```python theme={null}
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.apiyi.com/v1"
)

{/* Using GPT-Image-1.5 */}
response = client.images.generate(
    model="gpt-image-1.5",
    prompt="A professional product showcase with white background and soft lighting",
    size="1024x1024",
    quality="high"
)

print(response.data[0].url)
```

## Common Parameters

All GPT-Image models support the following parameters:

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `model` | string | `gpt-image-1.5`, `gpt-image-1`, or `gpt-image-1-mini` |
| `prompt` | string | Image description (max 1000 characters) |
| `size` | string | `1024x1024`, `1536x1024`, `1024x1536`, `auto` |
| `quality` | string | `low`, `medium`, `high`, `auto` |
| `output_format` | string | `png`, `jpeg`, `webp` |
| `background` | string | `transparent`, `opaque`, `auto` |
| `n` | integer | Number of images (1-10) |

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What's the difference between GPT-Image-1.5 and GPT-Image-1?">
    GPT-Image-1.5 is 4x faster, \~20% cheaper, with significantly improved text rendering (supporting dense text and tables), and more precise editing that preserves original elements. GPT-Image-1 is best for general image generation at a lower price point.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can generated images be used commercially?">
    Yes, images generated via the API are fully yours to use, including for commercial purposes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are Chinese prompts supported?">
    Yes, but English prompts generally produce the best results. For scenes requiring Chinese text rendering, GPT-Image-1.5 has significantly stronger text capabilities.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I migrate from GPT-Image-1 to 1.5?">
    Simply change the `model` parameter from `gpt-image-1` to `gpt-image-1.5`. All other parameters are fully compatible — no code changes needed.
