🎨 GPT Images 2.0 is now live in Pickaxe

[abhi]

It’s a BIG update.
ChatGPT just launched its latest image model and we added it to Pickaxe right away.

What’s new

Actually understands text
You can now generate images with readable, clean text. Posters, slides, ads… this used to break. Now it works.

Better prompt accuracy
What you ask is much closer to what you get. Less trial and error.

Multilingual support
Text inside images works across languages. Huge if you’re building global tools.

More realistic + structured outputs
Cleaner layouts, sharper visuals, better composition.

What this means for you

You’re not just generating images anymore.

You can now build:

• Marketing creatives directly inside your Pickaxe

• Social media posts with text baked in

• Slide previews and visual reports

• Branded assets without leaving your tool

How to use it (takes 10 seconds)

1. Go to Actions tab

2. Search “Generate GPT Images”

3. Toggle it ON

4. Add a simple instruction in your prompt like:
   “Generate an image when the user asks for visuals”

That’s it.

If you want to go deeper on Actions, this guide is worth a quick skim:

Pro tip

Be specific with prompts.

Instead of
“Create a poster”

Try
“Create a modern startup poster with bold headline text ‘AI for Everyone’, minimal design, soft gradient background”

You’ll see the difference instantly.

If you try something cool with this, share it in the thread. Curious to see what people build

This is totally broken for me. I can’t get any images to generate in any pickaxe.

hey thomas ! @thomasumstattd thanks for flagging, mind trying again ? should be good to go

[thomasumstattd]

It works! This is such a relief!

My inbox has been blowing up with users not able to use the image generators.

Nice! Great job guys, how does this compare cost wise to nano banana? I’m wondering ballpark what it costs to create an image using GPT images 2?

Hi @motheraigaia ,
Thank you for your question!

Image generation costs can vary depending on image size, quality, and the request itself.

OpenAI prices GPT Images 2 by tokens, so the cost varies by output size and quality. Their examples show a 1024x1024 image at around $0.006 for low quality, $0.053 for medium, and $0.211 for high.

Nano Banana Pro / Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview is priced more like a per-image cost, with Google listing it around $0.134 for 1K/2K images and $0.24 for 4K images.

Thanks so much for this breakdown, @danny_support — super helpful and very thorough.

I really appreciate you walking through the different pricing models and giving concrete ballpark numbers for each option. That’s exactly what I was wondering about too, so I’m also grateful to @motheraigaia for asking the question in the first place.
