Nine years, the generated first frame
“Film still from an independent drama, Kodak 5219 grain. 4 a.m. in a 24-hour diner on Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens; rain streaks the big front window and the steel of the elevated train blurs outside under pink neon. In a cracked red vinyl booth sits a heavy-set Puerto Rican man in his early seventies, white stubble, deep creases, a faded navy flannel shirt buttoned to the top, a plain navy cap, both hands around a chipped white coffee mug, looking up with hurt and suspicion. Standing at the end of the table, just arrived, is his younger brother in his sixties, thin and stooped, grey moustache, a soaked tan raincoat dripping, eyes lowered. Light: cold overhead fluorescent and warm pink neon spill through the window, a mint-green tiled wall, a glowing pie case behind. Over-the-shoulder two-shot from the counter side, 50mm, f/2.8. Palette: booth red, mint green, neon pink. Real faces: liver spots, pores, wet hair. No readable text.”How it was made

  • The first frame of Pastel drift

    Pastel drift

    Car commercial frame, wide 24mm lens from just above a polished concrete floor. A vast seamless pastel-pink cyclorama studio stage lit by huge soft overhead panels. An invented boxy 1980s two-door rear-wheel-drive coupe in pale mint green with black steel wheels slides sideways mid-drift across the frame, front wheels on full opposite lock, rear tyres pouring thick white smoke that billows up and fills half the stage; black rubber marks curve across the floor; a driver in a white helmet is barely visible through the side window. Palette: bubblegum pink, mint, white smoke. Crisp commercial light, real smoke texture, slight motion blur on the wheels. No badges, no number plate. No readable text, no logos.

  • The first frame of Çay

    Çay

    Vertical photograph at windowsill level, 50mm lens, late afternoon sun. An old apartment in Kadıköy, Istanbul: a wide marble windowsill, faded turquoise wooden shutters open, the Bosphorus and a ferry hazy in the distance. A large grey tabby street cat with a torn left ear and a scarred nose sits on the sill staring deadpan straight into the lens, one front paw resting against a full tulip-shaped glass of dark red tea on a small saucer near the edge, a sugar cube beside it. At the edge of frame an older man's hand in a brown cardigan cuff with a gold wedding ring reaches toward the glass. Palette: tea amber, tabby grey, turquoise. Real fur, dust in the sunbeam, steam from the tea. No readable text, no logos.

  • The first frame of Oi

    Oi

    Vertical candid street photograph, 35mm lens, windy afternoon with bright overcast light. Brighton Palace Pier, England: white railings, a grey-green choppy sea, strings of bulbs and a helter-skelter blurred behind. A 74-year-old Englishman, tall and stooped, thin white hair whipped by the wind, a navy blazer with brass buttons and a striped tie, holds a paper cone of fat chips and lifts one chip toward his open mouth, eyes half shut in anticipation. Just behind his shoulder a large herring gull swoops in low, wings spread, beak open, eyeing the chip. Palette: navy, chip gold, gull white, sea grey-green. Real wind, salt spray, grain. No readable text, no logos.

  • Magazine spread, generated on Leap

    Magazine spread

    An open luxury fashion magazine lying flat on a pale oak table, photographed from above in soft daylight. The left page is a full-bleed photograph of a model in a flowing crimson coat walking across orange desert dunes, with no caption. The right page has generous white space, a large elegant serif headline reading "The Quiet Season", a short italic standfirst, and a drop cap starting two neat columns of body text, and a page number. No brand names, no photo credits, no prices, no bylines, no dates. Real paper texture, gentle page curl at the gutter, editorial art direction

What is GPT Image 2?

What resolution and sizes does it make?
1:1, 3:2 or 2:3.
What's new in GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2 follows GPT Image 1.5. A default run costs $0.085, against $0.079 for GPT Image 1.5.
How is it different from GPT Image 1.5, GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst and GPT Image 2.5 Flare?
GPT Image 2: OpenAI's image model: precise prompt following and text, at medium quality. GPT Image 1.5: The GPT Image before 2: strong at text and layout, at medium quality. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst: OpenAI's newest image model, built for precise edits: quality up to max, 4K, and up to 8 references. GPT Image 2.5 Flare: The quicker GPT Image 2.5: quality up to max, 4K, and up to 8 references. They all run in the same studio, so you can try one prompt on each.
How much does a run cost?
A 1:1 image costs $0.085 at the default settings. By shape, a run costs $0.07 to $0.085. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.
Is GPT Image 2 free to try?
No. There is no free credit: you add credit from $5, and your first top-up has no card fee. The cheapest run is $0.07 (a 3:2 image), so $5 covers 71 of those. You pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.
Can I use what I make commercially?
Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
Is there an API?
Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as openai/gpt-image-2, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
Do I need an OpenAI account?
No. Leap sends your request to OpenAI's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs GPT Image 2 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.

Your idea, GPT Image 2.

Every run shows its price before it starts, and one that fails costs nothing.
