🪞 GPT Image 2 — Image Generation via Your ChatGPT Subscription
Generate images with GPT Image 2 (ChatGPT Images 2.0) inside your agent, using your existing ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription — no separate OpenAI access, no Fal or Replicate tokens, no per-image billing.
Text-to-image, image-to-image editing, style transfer, and multi-reference composition. Runs entirely through the local codex CLI you're already logged into.
Heads up — this skill requires a ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription plus the Codex CLI installed locally. If you have neither, you can use GPT Image 2 in the browser via RunComfy instead — hosted, no ChatGPT subscription or local install needed (RunComfy account required):
- Text-to-image: https://www.runcomfy.com/models/openai/gpt-image-2/text-to-image
- Image edit (i2i): https://www.runcomfy.com/models/openai/gpt-image-2/edit
The rest of this document covers the local Codex CLI flow for agents whose user has a ChatGPT subscription.
Example output: a plain flat-color icon repainted via --ref in ukiyo-e style — composition preserved, rendering swapped, period-appropriate red seal added by the model unprompted.
