How it works

About the Image Editing API

How image editing works

Send one or more input images with a prompt describing the change: replace a background, change a product colour, merge a person and a scene, or apply a style. Each model's API page shows how to reference the inputs in the prompt.

How edits are billed

Per output image at the selected size. Some models add a small per-input-image fee; each model's pricing notes list it.

FAQ

Image Editing API questions

An image editing API changes existing images from a text instruction — inpainting, background replacement, style transfer or multi-image composition — and returns the edited image.

GPT Image 2.5 and GPT Image 2.5 Flare accept up to 16 input images; the Edit inputs column shows every model's limit.

There is no subscription. Credits are prepaid from $10 and work across every model in the API and the Studio; failed generations are refunded automatically, and the quote endpoint prices any request for free before you run it.

No. One Cheaper Gen. API key and balance covers ByteDance, Google, OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, xAI and Alibaba. Every model uses the same request shape: POST /v1/run/{endpoint}, then poll or receive a webhook.
