OpenAI just rolled out its powerful gpt-image-1 API to developers — bringing ChatGPT's viral image generation capabilities to third-party apps and platforms for the first time.
Here’s the scoop:
OpenAI gpt-image-1 API powers ChatGPT’s new image feature, which generated over 700 million images in just one week after its launch in March.
The model supports high-quality image creation across varied styles, accurate text rendering, advanced editing tools, and more.
Big names are already onboard: Adobe, Figma, and Canva are integrating the tech into their professional design workflows.
Developers can adjust moderation levels, choosing between standard "auto" filtering or a less restrictive "low" setting for creative flexibility.
Pricing:
Text prompts: $5 per 1M tokens
Input images: $10 per 1M tokens
Output images: $40 per 1M tokens
(Works out to about 2–19 cents per image, depending on quality.)
Why OpenAI gpt-image-1 API Matters
After ChatGPT’s image generator exploded in popularity, OpenAI is making a strategic move to become the backbone of AI-driven creativity.
With this API release, OpenAI gpt-image-1 API is set to fuel a massive wave of new creative tools — and deepen its influence across the broader design and creative ecosystem, a position once dominated by rivals.
The bottom line:
The future of creative work will be AI-infused — and OpenAI wants to be the platform powering it.
