# OpenAI: image generation prompting guide

OpenAI's cookbook guide to prompting its gpt-image models: scene order, quoted text, edits and small follow-up changes.

Key rules: describe background and scene first, then the subject and key details, then constraints and intended use; put text that must appear in quotes; for edits, say what changes and what stays; refine with small one-change follow-ups. Written for gpt-image-2. The page is marked archived and may be outdated. gpt-image-1 was retired on 23 Oct 2026 and OpenAI's deprecations page names gpt-image-2.5 models as the replacement, so check the current model before relying on it. Checked 2 Nov 2026. Sora 2 (video) was scheduled to shut down on 24 Sep 2026 and is not listed.
