GPT Image 1: Complete Guide to the AI Image Editor
GPT Image 1 is an image generation and editing model from OpenAI, integrated into Neiron. Its main advantages are precise adherence to instructions, high-quality text rendering on images, and support for resolutions up to 4096x4096 pixels. This guide covers its capabilities, styles, and prompt writing rules.
Key Features of GPT Image 1
Precise Instruction Following
GPT Image 1 understands complex multi-step descriptions. You can specify composition, style, color palette, and details in a single prompt—the model will account for all of them.
Prompt: Illustration of an owl sitting on a stack of old books. The owl wears reading glasses, a lit candle nearby. Watercolor style, warm brown and gold tones. On the spine of the top book, the text "WISDOM"
Text Rendering
One of GPT Image 1's strongest features is creating text on images. Unlike many generators, letters come out sharp and readable.
Prompt: Neon sign on a brick wall in a dark alley. Sign text: "OPEN 24/7". Pink and blue neon, reflection on wet asphalt
Prompt: Book cover: white background, minimalist design, large title "BEGINNING" in black serif font, author "A. Petrov" in small font at the bottom
High Resolution
The model supports generation up to 4096x4096 pixels—enough for printing and professional use.

Prompt Writing Rules
1. Be Specific
Instead of "beautiful landscape," write "mountain lake at sunset, snowy peaks, reflection in water, pink sky."
2. Include Details
Describe:
-
Subject: what is depicted
-
Style: in what technique
-
Colors: palette and tone
-
Lighting: time of day, type of light
-
Composition: arrangement of elements
-
Text: if text is needed on the image
3. Use Style Terms
The model responds well to professional terms: bokeh, golden hour, backlight, low key, high key, isometric, axonometric, tilt-shift.
4. Prompt Structure
Recommended order:
[Style]. [Main subject with details]. [Environment and background]. [Lighting and colors]. [Text if needed]
Example:
Flat minimalist illustration. A programmer at a desk with three monitors, code on screens. Room with plants and coffee on the table. Soft desk lamp light, palette of blue and purple tones. On the mug, the inscription "CODE"
Comparison with Other Tools
GPT Image 1 complements other models in Neiron well. For editing existing photos, we recommend the guide to Nano Banana—it better preserves the original image. For photorealistic generation, see the guide to Imagen 4 from Google.

|-----------|-------------|-------------|----------|
| Generation from scratch | Excellent | No | Excellent |
| Photo editing | Good | Excellent | No |
| Text on images | Excellent | Average | Good |
| Maximum resolution | 4096x4096 | 1024x1024 | 2048x2048 |
