Why not use GPT Image as the default?

Nano Banana is faster and cheaper for general image generation. GPT Image is best for text-heavy images and precise edits — use it when you need those specific capabilities.

How much does it cost?

From $0.04 per image (low quality) to $0.12 per image (high quality).

Can it handle long text?

Yes — paragraphs, ingredient lists, multi-line descriptions. It's the only model that renders multi-line text consistently.

Image generation with reliable text rendering — the only model that puts readable text inside images

What It Does

GPT Image creates and edits images using OpenAI's model via fal.ai. Its standout capability: it reliably renders readable text inside images — recipe cards, menus, infographics, labels, certificates. No other image model does this consistently. Also offers precise image editing with quality tiers (low/medium/high).

Use Cases

Recipe Cards & Menus

Infographics

Create infographics with data labels, headings, and explanatory text baked into the image

Generate certificates, awards, and badges with custom names and text

How to Use

Step 1

Request GPT Image explicitly

Say "use gpt image" or "generate with gpt image". Without this, the assistant defaults to Nano Banana.

Use GPT Image when you need text inside the image or precise edits.

Step 2

Set quality

Three tiers: low (fastest, cheapest), medium (default), high (most detail). Say "high quality" to upgrade.

Step 3

Edit an image

Send an image and describe the edit. GPT Image excels at targeted changes like "change the label text to..." or "replace the logo with..."

Command Examples

You say:

Use gpt image to create a recipe card for pasta carbonara, high quality

Assistant responds:

Edit this menu image — change the price of the Caesar salad to $14.99

Assistant responds:

MEDIA:menu-edited.png Price updated. The font matches the original menu style.
