The practical cost move is simple: use Seedream 4.5, Google Nano Banana 2, or Flux.1 Kontext Pro while you are testing directions, then switch to ChatGPT Image 2 when you need its OpenAI workflow or multi-image editing.

Supported shapes

ChatGPT Image 2 currently supports these aspect ratios on magicdoor.ai:

  • 1:1
  • 3:2
  • 2:3

If you need a wider or taller format, start with one of the supported ratios and crop or extend later, or compare against another image model that better fits the target shape.

How to use it

  1. Open a chat or image workflow on magicdoor.ai.
  2. Choose ChatGPT Image 2 when you want the OpenAI image path, or ask a chat model for an image and let magicdoor.ai route the request.
  3. Describe the subject, style, composition, and any text or layout requirements.
  4. For edits, attach the source image or images and describe the change directly.
  5. If resolution is the only remaining issue, use Recraft Upscaler instead of regenerating.

When to use another model instead

  • Cheapest exploration: Use Seedream 4.5 at $0.03 per image.
  • Fast general generation and editing: Use Google Nano Banana 2 at $0.039 per image.
  • Targeted image edits: Use Flux.1 Kontext Pro at $0.04 per image.
  • Photorealistic generation: Compare with Flux 2 Pro at $0.05 per image.
  • Design-led graphics: Use Recraft V4 at $0.04 per image.
  • Higher-resolution output: Try Google Nano Banana Pro (2K) at $0.14 per image.

Prompting tips

  • Start with the subject and purpose.
  • Add style, mood, lighting, and composition only when they matter.
  • Be explicit about text, logos, colors, and layout.
  • For edits, say what should change and what must stay the same.
  • Do cheap concept passes first, then spend on the premium model once the direction is stable.
