GPT Image 2 prompt library

GPT Image 2 is the model to reach for when the image needs to carry words: ad layouts, packaging, posters, UI. It follows detailed instructions and renders typography cleanly. Be explicit about layout, exact copy in quotes, and hierarchy, and it will build a composed graphic rather than a vague illustration.

How to write great GPT Image 2 prompts

Four rules that make the difference between a flat result and a usable one.

Spell out the exact text

Put every word you want rendered in quotes and state where it sits. GPT Image 2 handles typography better than most models, so use it for anything with copy.

Direct the layout

Describe the composition explicitly: "headline top-left, product centred, price pill bottom-right". It follows layout instructions closely.

Give it a design brief

Name the format (poster, story ad, packaging), the palette, and the mood. It responds to design language, not just photographic language.

Iterate with edits

Generate, then refine in words ("make the headline larger, move the product down"). It handles instruction-based edits reliably.

GPT Image 2 prompts, answered

When should I use GPT Image 2 over Nano Banana or FLUX?

How do I get exact text in the image?
Put every word in quotes and say where it goes ("headline top, button bottom"). Being explicit about copy and placement is what makes GPT Image 2 render clean, correct text.
Can I refine a layout after generating?
Yes. Use instruction-based edits like "make the headline larger" or "move the product down". GPT Image 2 handles worded refinements reliably.
Where do I run these prompts?
Paste any prompt into Create Image in DesignerBox and select GPT Image 2. From there you can edit, resize for other placements, or export.
