ChatGPT Image Generator
The image model behind ChatGPT's picture generation, available here on its own. Same model, no subscription, and a per-image credit cost you can see before each run — which is the part a chat window does not give you.
ChatGPT Image Generator
From prompt to file
Four steps, and no conversation to manage.
Pick text or photo input
Generate from a description, or start from a picture you upload.
Write the whole prompt
There is no follow-up turn here, so put the layout, style and any exact wording in from the start.
Set resolution and shape
Choose 1K, 2K or 4K and the aspect ratio, rather than hinting at them in words.
Check credits and generate
Confirm the estimate, run it, and download the file.
What is the ChatGPT image generator?
When ChatGPT produces a picture, it is calling OpenAI's image model — the same model available here as GPT Image 2, on its own and without the chat wrapper. Whether that is better than using it inside ChatGPT depends on what gets in your way. The chat window is comfortable and conversational, and it hides two things: what each image costs you, and the controls.
Here the cost of a run shows before you commit to it, resolution is a setting rather than something inferred from your phrasing, and the output arrives as a file rather than as a message you have to save out of a conversation. What you give up is the conversation itself — there is no back-and-forth refining across turns, so the prompt has to carry the intent on its own.
The model's particular strength is text inside the picture: labels on a diagram, headings on a poster, copy on packaging. That is the job it is most often picked for.
Creative engine
What a run costs
Resolution is the only lever on price here, and the range is narrow enough that 2K is an easy default.
The same model, unbundled
OpenAI's image model without a ChatGPT subscription attached to it.
Cost visible per run
The credit estimate appears before you generate rather than being absorbed into a monthly plan.
Good at type and layout
In-image text is what this model is most often reached for.
The same engine has a page under its API name at GPT Image 2, and the version OpenAI shipped on 8 September 2026 runs at GPT Image 2.5, in both of its tiers, when you want the newer model rather than the cheapest one. For a different house style, Nano Banana Pro is the photographic pick and Qwen Image 3 the one that spells.
When to use this instead of ChatGPT
Use it here when you want the controls and the cost visible: a fixed resolution rather than one inferred from your wording, a file rather than a message, and a number in front of you before each run. Use it here too when you only need images occasionally, because a per-image cost beats a monthly subscription that sits idle. Stay in ChatGPT when the conversation is the point — when you expect to refine an image over several turns, or when you want to talk through the idea before committing to a prompt. And reach for a different model entirely when what you need is a multi-photo composite: that is the Gemini line's territory, not this one's.
Controls instead of phrasing
Resolution and aspect ratio are settings here, not things you have to talk the model into.
Occasional use costs less
Per-image credits suit a few images a month better than a subscription does.
Not for composites
For combining several source photos into one image, the Gemini Flash tier is the right tool.
Feature overview
What the model covers here, stated as what it does rather than what a chat interface makes it feel like.
Text to image
Generate a picture from a written description with no source material.
Image to image
Supply a photo and describe the change you want made to it.
Resolution choice
1K, 2K or 4K, set explicitly rather than inferred from the prompt.
Aspect ratio choice
Output shaped for the place the image is going.

What people generate with it
The jobs that play to a model known for handling type and layout.
Infographics and cards
Figures, headings and blocks arranged into something legible in one pass.
Posters and covers
A title that sits inside the composition rather than being added afterwards.
Product and packaging mockups
Copy rendered on the pack, which is the part cheaper models tend to garble.
Everyday images on a budget
At 10 credits a 1K image this is the cheapest model here, which makes iteration cheap too.
SayMaker pricing — you pay per generation, never per seat
One credit pool covers Nano Banana images and Seedance and Veo video. The cost shows before every run, the safety check runs before the model does, and a failed run is refunded automatically. Use a subscription for ongoing work, or a one-time pack when you just need to top up.

Model credit guide
What each model costs in credits
A failed run is refunded automatically. The exact estimate in the generator varies by model, length, resolution, audio, and number of images.
| Type | Model | Credit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Seedance 2.5 | The long-take tier, priced per second: 5s 480p ≈ 525 credits, 5s 720p ≈ 1,185. A full 30s take runs ≈ 3,150 at 480p and ≈ 7,090 at 720p. |
| Video | Seedance 2.0 | Supplying a starting frame or clip costs less than starting from words alone: 6s 720p ≈ 565 credits from an image, ≈ 925 from text. Scales with resolution and length. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Fast | Faster and lower cost. 6s 720p text-to-video ≈ 745 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Mini | The cheapest tier of the Seedance 2 family. 6s 720p ≈ 465 credits, 6s 480p ≈ 215 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 1.5 Pro | Audio doubles the rate. 6s 720p ≈ 85 credits silent, ≈ 160 with audio; 1080p ≈ 175 and ≈ 340. |
| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video, not per second, and the tier you pick is the whole price: Lite ≈ 115 credits at 720p and ≈ 135 at 1080p, Fast ≈ 225 at 720p, Quality ≈ 940 at 720p. |
| Video | Kling 3.0 | Audio raises the rate by about half. 6s 720p ≈ 320 credits silent, ≈ 455 with audio; 1080p ≈ 405 and ≈ 610. |
| Video | MiniMax H3 | Fixed 2K, no resolution ladder. Priced per second — a 5s clip ≈ 395 credits. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 | Generate or edit from text and images. 20 credits per 1K image, 30 at 2K, 45 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana Pro | Consistent run times across generations. 30 credits per 1K or 2K image, 55 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 Lite | Faster, simpler variant, and the everyday editing price: a flat 15 credits per image at every resolution. |
| Image | GPT Image 2 | The lowest-cost premium image model here. 10 credits per 1K image, 15 at 2K, 30 at 4K. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Flare | OpenAI's newest image model, on the fast tier. 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K — same price whether you generate or edit. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | The 2.5 tier for edits that touch only what you named. Same price as Flare: 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K. |
| Image | Seedream 5.0 Lite | Flat pricing — 20 credits per image whether you generate or edit. |
ChatGPT image generator FAQ
Common questions about using OpenAI's image model on SayMaker.
It is OpenAI's image model, GPT Image 2 — the same model ChatGPT calls when it makes a picture. What differs is the wrapper around it: controls and a visible per-run cost instead of a conversation.
No. It is billed per image in credits here, so there is no monthly plan to hold.
10 credits at 1K, 15 at 2K and 30 at 4K, which makes it the cheapest image model on the site. The estimate shows before you generate.
Yes. Supply the photo and describe the change. Name what should stay the same as well, or the edit can drift.
Images with type in them — infographics, posters, packaging, anything labelled. Quote the exact wording in your prompt rather than describing it.
For multi-photo composites, use Gemini Flash Image (Nano Banana 2), which accepts up to 14 reference photos in a single run.
Same prompting habits, but here it shares one credit pool with every other model — so you can A/B the identical prompt against Nano Banana 2 or Seedream without a second subscription, and keep whichever engine wins.
