GPT Image 2 Free

GPT Image 2 is OpenAI's gpt-image-2, the model behind ChatGPT Images 2.0 from April 2026, known for clean text in posters, product shots and UI mockups. Use it in your browser on GPT Image Hub: new accounts get 25 free credits, enough for 5 images on GPT Image 2 Saver, and after that each image is a flat 5 credits.

Is GPT Image 2 free?

Yes, to try it. Every new GPT Image Hub account gets 25 free credits, which make 5 images on GPT Image 2 Saver, with no card needed. Saver runs the same gpt-image-2 model through a lower-cost route billed per image, so every size from 1K to 4K and every quality level costs 5 credits (about $0.005–$0.007, depending on the credit pack). Standard GPT Image 2 is priced by quality and size, from 5 to 570 credits. No site offers unlimited free GPT Image 2, because OpenAI bills every image it makes.

How to use GPT Image 2 free

  1. Sign up with Google or email. Your account starts with 25 free credits.
  2. Open the image generator with GPT Image 2 Saver selected, then type a prompt or start from a template in the prompt library.
  3. Pick the size (1K, 2K or 4K) and quality (low, medium, high). Every combination costs 5 credits. To edit, add up to 14 reference images and say what to change.

GPT Image 2 Saver vs standard GPT Image 2 on GPT Image Hub
