How to prompt GPT Image 2 for caricatures

A few patterns from generating the 16 samples on this page.

  1. Put the subject first, style second. GPT Image 2 weights the leading noun phrase more heavily than 1.5.
  2. Use concrete style anchors (“watercolor”, “cel-shaded”, “ink line”). Vague words (“artistic”, “stylized”) get inconsistent treatment.
  3. Be explicit about exaggeration: “mild caricature” or “exaggerated jaw and eyes”. GPT Image 2 follows this more reliably than 1.5.
  4. Constrain the background (“plain pastel background”, “off-white studio”) or GPT Image 2 will fill detail into it.
  5. For group photos, use positional anchors (“leftmost subject”). GPT Image 2’s multi-subject coherence is noticeably stronger than 1.5’s.

Frequently asked questions

Is GPT Image 2 better than GPT Image 1.5?
For most caricature styles, yes — GPT Image 2 produces cleaner edges, richer mid-tones, and more consistent facial structure. GPT Image 1.5 is still strong for quick iteration and costs less per run, so many users mix the two: draft with 1.5, finalize with 2.
How does GPT Image 2 compare to GPT Image 1?
GPT Image 2 is OpenAI’s next-generation image model succeeding the GPT Image 1 line. This site serves GPT Image 1.5 (an intermediate successor to GPT Image 1) as the free tier, and GPT Image 2 as the premium tier. Side-by-side outputs above show the real-world difference in a caricature workload.
How much does GPT Image 2 cost to use here?
GPT Image 2 runs on 2 credits per generation. Free accounts get a weekly free generation on GPT Image 1.5 (Standard). You can also buy credit packs — see the pricing section on this page.
What aspect ratios does GPT Image 2 support?
GPT Image 2 now supports 13 aspect ratios including 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9, 9:21, 2:1, 1:2, 3:1, and 1:3. This covers everything from square portraits to ultra-wide banners, so you can use GPT Image 2 across all generation modes.
Can GPT Image 2 generate avatars or logos?
Yes. Our Avatar Generator and Logo Maker both let you select GPT Image 2 as the model. Use the links below to jump straight in with the model pre-selected.Try GPT Image 2 on avatars →Try GPT Image 2 on logos →
Is there a free way to try GPT Image 2 on caricatures?
New users get weekly free generations on GPT Image 1.5. GPT Image 2 itself is a paid tier — the most efficient way to try it is to sign up, use your free weekly generation on 1.5 for comparison, then run a single GPT Image 2 generation with a starter credit pack.
How long does a GPT Image 2 caricature take?
Typically 10–25 seconds from click to result, slightly slower than GPT Image 1.5 (5–15s). The gallery above was generated during a normal workday and reflects real-world latency.
What are GPT Image 2’s current limitations?
GPT Image 2 does not expose a quality parameter and is slower and more expensive per call than 1.5. For most caricature and portrait use cases the quality gain outweighs these trade-offs; for rapid iteration, 1.5 remains a strong choice.
