Input

Field	Kind	Default	Description
`prompt` required	text	—	A text description of the desired image(s). The maximum length is 32000 characters.
`n`	number (whole) 1 to 10	1	The number of images to generate. Must be between 1 and 10.
`size`	JSON	auto	The size of the generated images. For `gpt-image-2`, `gpt-image-2-2026-04-21`, `gpt-image-2.5-sunburst`, `gpt-image-2.5-sunburst-2026-09-08`, `gpt-image-2.5-flare`, and `gpt-image-2.5-flare-2026-09-08`, arbitrary resolutions are supported as `WIDTHxHEIGHT` strings, for example `1536x864`. Width and height must both be divisible by 16 and the requested aspect ratio must be between 1:3 and 3:1. Resolutions above `2560x1440` are experimental, and the maximum supported resolution is `3840x2160`. The requested size must also satisfy the model's current pixel and edge limits. The standard sizes `1024x1024`, `1536x1024`, and `1024x1536` are supported by the GPT image models; `auto` is supported for models that allow automatic sizing.
`quality`	one of low, medium, high, xhigh, max, auto	auto	The quality of the image that will be generated. - `auto` (default value) will automatically select the best quality for the given model. - `high`, `medium` and `low` are supported for the GPT image models. - `gpt-image-2.5-sunburst` and `gpt-image-2.5-flare`, including their `2026-09-08` snapshots, also support `xhigh` and `max`.
`background`	one of transparent, opaque, auto	auto	Set the background of the generated image(s). This parameter is only supported for the GPT image models. Must be one of `transparent`, `opaque`, or `auto` (default value). When `auto` is used, the model will automatically determine the best background for the image. `gpt-image-2.5-sunburst` and `gpt-image-2.5-flare`, including their `2026-09-08` snapshots, support `opaque` and `transparent` backgrounds. Transparent backgrounds are available for supported GPT Image models. For `gpt-image-2` and `gpt-image-2-2026-04-21`, this support is in preview. When using `transparent`, set the output format to `png` or `webp`.
`moderation`	one of low, auto	auto	Control the content-moderation level for images generated by the GPT image models. Must be either `low` for less restrictive filtering or `auto` (default value).
`output_format`	one of png, jpeg, webp	png	The format in which the generated images are returned. This parameter is only supported for the GPT image models. Must be one of `png`, `jpeg`, or `webp`.
`output_compression`	number (whole)	100	The compression level (0-100%) for the generated images. This parameter is only supported for the GPT image models with the `webp` or `jpeg` output formats, and defaults to 100.
