How to access the GPT Image 2 API
The client API handles the request submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.subscribe("openai/gpt-image-2", {
input: {
prompt: "A product photo of a coffee bag labeled 'Summit Roast' with mountain artwork, on a rustic wooden table",
image_size: "landscape_16_9",
quality: "high",
},
logs: true,
onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
}
},
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);Next-Generation Image Quality
Production-Ready Text Rendering
GPT Image 2 renders text with unprecedented accuracy. Dense paragraphs, small lettering, and complex multilingual layouts all come out clean and legible on the first try. Infographics, marketing materials, signage, and UI mockups with no more garbled characters or broken word spacing.
State-of-the-Art Realism
A quality-first architecture that prioritises photorealistic output above all else. Lighting, materials, skin textures, and environmental details are rendered with a level of fidelity that sets a new standard for AI-generated imagery.
Brand-Consistent Product Shots
Generate product photography with accurate text on labels, logos, and packaging. GPT Image 2 maintains brand consistency across shots with readable ingredient lists, correct colour palettes, and precise logo reproduction. Ideal for e-commerce, catalogues, and marketing assets.
Industries Using the GPT Image 2 API
