Create image edit
client.Images.Edit(ctx, body) (*ImagesResponse, error)
post /images/edits
Creates an edited or extended image given one or more source images and a prompt. This endpoint supports GPT Image models (gpt-image-1.5, gpt-image-1, gpt-image-1-mini, and chatgpt-image-latest) and dall-e-2.
Parameters
-
body ImageEditParams-
Image param.Field[ImageEditParamsImageUnion]The image(s) to edit. Must be a supported image file or an array of images.
For the GPT image models (
gpt-image-1,gpt-image-1-mini,gpt-image-1.5,gpt-image-2,gpt-image-2-2026-04-21, andchatgpt-image-latest), each image should be apng,webp, orjpgfile less than 50MB. You can provide up to 16 images.For
dall-e-2, you can only provide one image, and it should be a squarepngfile less than 4MB.-

-
Prompt param.Field[string]A text description of the desired image(s). The maximum length is 1000 characters for
dall-e-2, and 32000 characters for the GPT image models. -
Background param.Field[ImageEditParamsBackground]Allows to set transparency for the background of the generated image(s). This parameter is only supported for GPT image models that support transparent backgrounds. Must be one of
transparent,opaque, orauto(default value). Whenautois used, the model will automatically determine the best background for the image.gpt-image-2andgpt-image-2-2026-04-21do not support transparent backgrounds. Requests withbackgroundset totransparentwill return an error for these models; useopaqueorautoinstead.If
transparent, the output format needs to support transparency, so it should be set to eitherpng(default value) orwebp.-
const ImageEditParamsBackgroundTransparent ImageEditParamsBackground = "transparent" -
const ImageEditParamsBackgroundOpaque ImageEditParamsBackground = "opaque" -
const ImageEditParamsBackgroundAuto ImageEditParamsBackground = "auto"
-
-
InputFidelity param.Field[ImageEditParamsInputFidelity]Control how much effort the model will exert to match the style and features, especially facial features, of input images. This parameter is only supported for
gpt-image-1andgpt-image-1.5and later models, unsupported forgpt-image-1-mini. Supportshighandlow. Defaults tolow.-
const ImageEditParamsInputFidelityHigh ImageEditParamsInputFidelity = "high" -
const ImageEditParamsInputFidelityLow ImageEditParamsInputFidelity = "low"
-
-
Mask param.Field[Reader]An additional image whose fully transparent areas (e.g. where alpha is zero) indicate where
imageshould be edited. If there are multiple images provided, the mask will be applied on the first image. Must be a valid PNG file, less than 4MB, and have the same dimensions asimage. -
Model param.Field[ImageModel]The model to use for image generation. One of
dall-e-2or a GPT image model (gpt-image-1,gpt-image-1-mini,gpt-image-1.5,gpt-image-2,gpt-image-2-2026-04-21, orchatgpt-image-latest). Defaults togpt-image-1.5.-

-
N param.Field[int64]The number of images to generate. Must be between 1 and 10.
-
OutputCompression param.Field[int64]The compression level (0-100%) for the generated images. This parameter is only supported for the GPT image models with the
webporjpegoutput formats, and defaults to 100. -
OutputFormat param.Field[ImageEditParamsOutputFormat]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, orwebp. The default value ispng.-

-
-
PartialImages param.Field[int64]The number of partial images to generate. This parameter is used for streaming responses that return partial images. Value must be between 0 and 3. When set to 0, the response will be a single image sent in one streaming event.
Note that the final image may be sent before the full number of partial images are generated if the full image is generated more quickly.
-
Quality param.Field[ImageEditParamsQuality]The quality of the image that will be generated for GPT image models. Defaults to
auto.-
const ImageEditParamsQualityStandard ImageEditParamsQuality = "standard" -
const ImageEditParamsQualityLow ImageEditParamsQuality = "low" -
const ImageEditParamsQualityMedium ImageEditParamsQuality = "medium" -

-
ResponseFormat param.Field[ImageEditParamsResponseFormat]The format in which the generated images are returned. Must be one of
urlorb64_json. URLs are only valid for 60 minutes after the image has been generated. This parameter is only supported fordall-e-2(default isurlfordall-e-2), as GPT image models always return base64-encoded images.-
const ImageEditParamsResponseFormatURL ImageEditParamsResponseFormat = "url" -
const ImageEditParamsResponseFormatB64JSON ImageEditParamsResponseFormat = "b64_json"
-
-
Size param.Field[ImageEditParamsSize]The size of the generated images. For
gpt-image-2andgpt-image-2-2026-04-21, arbitrary resolutions are supported asWIDTHxHEIGHTstrings, for example1536x864. Width and height must both be divisible by 16 and the requested aspect ratio must be between 1:3 and 3:1. Resolutions above2560x1440are experimental, and the maximum supported resolution is3840x2160. The requested size must also satisfy the model's current pixel and edge limits. The standard sizes1024x1024,1536x1024, and1024x1536are supported by the GPT image models;autois supported for models that allow automatic sizing. Fordall-e-2, use one of256x256,512x512, or1024x1024. Fordall-e-3, use one of1024x1024,1792x1024, or1024x1792.-
