Language: English

GPT Image 1 is developed by OpenAI. OpenAI’s previous multimodal image model; generation is paused until an exact verified route is available. This page maps only to the named model contract, so changing inference infrastructure never changes the model advertised to the user.

## Model details

- Developer: OpenAI
- Status on All Image AI: Temporarily Unavailable
- Last verified: 2026-08-25
- Maximum output: 1K
- Modes: Text to Image, Multi-reference
- Reference images: up to 4
- Resolutions: 1K
- Aspect ratios: 1:1, 3:2, 2:3

## Best for

- Instruction-rich prompts
- Readable display text
- Multi-image editing

## How to use

1. Describe the subject, composition, light and intended medium.
2. Choose a native aspect ratio.
3. Adjust only the controls this exact model exposes.
4. Generate a draft and inspect details before publishing.

## Settings explained

### Aspect Ratio

Only ratios accepted by this exact route appear in the selector.

### Credits

The displayed amount includes the selected resolution and any billable quality control.

### Reference Images

Editing adds 2 credits per output to cover input-image processing.

## Prompt examples

### Editorial scene

> Create a refined editorial image with coherent light, intentional composition and material detail, composed specifically to evaluate GPT Image 1

### Product concept

> Studio product concept on a clean architectural set, realistic reflections, precise negative space, art direction suited to GPT Image 1

## Limitations

- Generation is temporarily unavailable
- This page never substitutes GPT Image 2 silently
- Use GPT Image 2 for current generation

## Pricing and credits

Credits for one image at default quality and mode. Resolution, quality, reference inputs, edit mode and output count can change the total. Check the Generate button before submitting.

| Resolution | Credits / image |
| --- | --- |
| 1K | 5 |

Failed generations cost 0 credits. Catalog availability does not guarantee runtime availability; the workspace reports whether the selected model can run.

## Test results

Testing in progress. No verified benchmark scores have been published for this model.

## Commercial use and image handling

You own the output; use remains subject to OpenAI usage policies and service terms.

Uploads are processed by the configured inference service. You can delete a generation from your history.

## Frequently asked questions

### Who developed GPT Image 1?

OpenAI is shown as the model developer; inference infrastructure is deliberately kept separate.

### Can the route silently substitute another model?

No. Paid routing requires an exact model match and an explicitly implemented request mapping.
