GPT Image is OpenAI's family of image generation models, the same technology behind image generation in ChatGPT. It is known for following long, detailed prompts closely and for rendering readable text, which makes it a favorite for posters, product mockups, and infographics. ArtCraft includes the latest versions in its catalog.

ArtCraft's README doesn't describe the differences between GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst. Try both on the same prompt and compare before committing to a large batch.
Two ways to pay
| Option | How it works | Models |
|---|---|---|
| ArtCraft credits | Pay per generation from your credit balance | All GPT Image versions in the catalog |
| Your own Sora account | Connect it as a provider; generations use your account | GPT Image 1, plus Sora 1 and Sora 2 video |
ArtCraft's official estimate for GPT Image 1.5 is about 200 images per 1,000 credits on the Basic plan. See the pricing guide for the full table.
Where GPT Image shines
Text in images. GPT Image is one of the most reliable models for legible words. Put the exact text in quotes and describe where it goes:
A vintage travel poster for a mountain railway. Bold art deco lettering at the
top reads "ALPINE EXPRESS", and smaller text at the bottom reads "Daily departures
since 1912". Flat colors, strong diagonal composition, sunset palette.
Complex instructions. It handles prompts with many specific requirements: positions, colors, counts, and styles. Number the requirements if the prompt gets long.
Editing. ArtCraft's README names GPT Image alongside Nano Banana Pro for prompted image editing. Describe the change and what must stay the same.
Prompt tips
- Write full sentences. GPT Image understands natural language well, so describe the image as you would to a designer.
- Specify the format. "Square social media post," "16:9 YouTube thumbnail," or "vertical phone wallpaper" helps it compose for the right frame.
- Be explicit about style. "Flat vector illustration," "35mm film photograph," or "watercolor on textured paper" all change the output a lot.
- Stage complex layouts. For exact positions of many objects, block the scene with ArtCraft's 3D compositing tools and render the result with GPT Image.
GPT Image vs Nano Banana
Both families are strong at instruction-following and editing, and ArtCraft offers both. As a starting point:
| Task | Try first |
|---|---|
| Posters, signage, and text-heavy designs | GPT Image 2 |
| Fast, inexpensive drafts | Nano Banana |
| Edits that must keep a face or product identical | Nano Banana Pro, then GPT Image |
| Highly detailed multi-part instructions | GPT Image |
The quickest way to decide is to run the same prompt on both. See the Nano Banana guide and the prompt library.
