Strengths
GPT Image 2 follows long, conditional prompts closely — counts, spatial relationships, and 'don't include' instructions land more often than with diffusion-only models.
Renders headlines, labels, and packaging copy legibly, which makes it a practical choice for ad creative and mockups.
Send a reference image with an instruction to edit, extend, or restyle it while keeping the subject intact.
1:1 through 21:9 plus auto, covering square social posts, portrait stories, and ultra-wide banners from a single prompt.

Why use GPT Image 2 through YepAPI?
GPT Image 2 API — OpenAI image generation from $0.02
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's newest image generation model. Its strength is instruction following: complex, multi-clause prompts, accurate object counts, and legible text rendered inside the image itself — the areas where earlier image models tended to drift.
On YepAPI, GPT Image 2 runs on the shared `/v1/media/queue` endpoint at about $0.02 per image with the same `yep_sk_` key you use for chat, SEO, and scraping — no separate OpenAI account or org verification.

“One API key for AI models, SERP data, and web scraping. Saved us from managing 4 separate providers.”
“The $5 free credit let us prototype our entire rank tracking feature before committing. No other API does that.”
