  }
}

2. Image-to-Image with Reference Images

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.veogen.studio/api/v1/generations \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "model": "gpt-image-2",
    "prompt": "Transform this photo into a watercolor painting with soft pastel tones",
    "aspect_ratio": "1:1",
    "image_urls": [
      "https://example.com/reference-photo.jpg"
    ]
  }'

Supported Aspect Ratios

Ratio	Description
1:1	Square (default)
16:9 / 9:16	Widescreen landscape / portrait

FAQ

How is GPT-Image-2 different from GPT-4o Image?

GPT-Image-2 is a dedicated image generation model with 13 aspect ratios (vs 3), support for 16 reference images (vs 1), and generally better visual quality. GPT-4o Image is a multimodal model that also generates images.

Do I need an OpenAI account to use this?

No. Access GPT-Image-2 through Veogen’s API or playground without any OpenAI subscription. Just top up your USD balance and generate.

How many reference images can I use?

Up to 16 reference images per request. You can mix image URLs and base64-encoded images for style guidance and multi-image fusion.
