Is GPT Image 2 a generation model or an edit model?

It is still exposed as one user-facing model name, `GPT Image 2`. Product-wise it started as an image-generation model, and it is now also available inside the edit workflow.

How is it different from z-image or Nano Banana?

GPT Image 2 is more commercially oriented for posters, product visuals, and marketing layouts. z-image remains the default general model, while the Nano Banana family is tuned more around speed or other quality tiers.

What is the price and membership requirement?

The current setup is 10 credits per image, and access is limited to Premium and Elite users across both generate and edit flows.

When should I use the edit page instead?

Use `/z-image-edit?model=gpt-image-2` when you already have a source image and want to preserve the base subject or structure while upgrading the commercial style, materials, background, or layout.

What it is best for

Choose GPT Image 2 when you need more polished commercial outputs such as posters, product hero visuals, brand campaign artwork, or layouts that need clearer text areas and stronger marketing structure.

Start in /generate

Best when you are creating from a prompt. You can also upload a reference image to guide direction. Without references it uses text-to-image, and with references it switches to the image-guided route automatically.

Start in /z-image-edit

Best when you already have an image and want to upgrade the commercial look, remake a poster, refresh the visual style, or refine the asset for a product or campaign.

The practical strengths to know

Stronger commercial polish

It is better suited to output that feels presentation-ready, campaign-ready, or closer to paid media creative instead of simple concept drafts.

Better fit for text-rich layouts

It is a stronger option when the image needs obvious headline space, product messaging areas, or a more intentional poster composition.

Reference images are useful in both flows

You can upload references in generate to guide composition, or move to edit when you already have an image and want a more directed commercial transformation.

Which entry point should you use

The same visible model name supports different workflows depending on whether you are starting from scratch or from an existing image.
