GPT-Image-2

OpenAI is previewing a transparent background feature for GPT-Image-2 through its API, letting developers generate PNGs with no background baked in at generation time. The company claims this produces cleaner results than traditional background removal, particularly on difficult edges like glass or thin fibers.

xAI's new Imagine Image 2.0 lands in second place globally on both the Image Edit and Text-to-Image Arena leaderboards, trailing OpenAI's GPT-Image-2. The model ships with editing tools including Magic Wand, Multi-Ref Editing, and Smart Resize.
