We Built GPT Image 1.5 Because AI Image Generators Still Suck

Look, we've all been there. You type a detailed prompt into an AI image generator, hit generate, and get back something that's... technically correct but completely misses the point. After burning through 20 credits and rephrasing your prompt for the tenth time, you give up and just pick whatever's closest.

That's the exact frustration that led us to build GPT Image 1.5.

The Real Problem Nobody's Talking About Most image generators treat your prompts like a bag of keywords. They see "modern office space with plants" and spit out generic stock photo vibes. But that's not how humans communicate. When a designer says they want something "modern," they're bringing context—maybe they mean Scandinavian minimalism, or maybe they're thinking sleek tech startup aesthetic.

We tackled this by building on GPT-5's language architecture. Not because it's trendy, but because it actually gets nuance. It understands the difference between "cozy coffee shop" and "hipster coffee shop" without you having to spell out every single detail.

Two Modes That Actually Make Sense Text-to-Image: Pretty straightforward. Describe what you want, get an image. Great for when you're starting from scratch or need to visualize an idea quickly.

Image Editing: This is where it gets interesting. Upload an image and tell the system what to change using plain English. "Make the background a beach" or "replace the laptop with a tablet." The fidelity controls let you decide how much of the original to keep—super useful when you need surgical edits versus complete overhauls.

Quality Tiers That Don't Feel Like a Scam We have three quality levels, and here's the honest truth about each:

Low: Fast and dirty. Use this when you're brainstorming or need to test five different concepts in two minutes.

Medium: The sweet spot for most work. Good enough for client presentations and internal reviews.

High: When it absolutely has to look polished. Final deliverables, print materials, stuff that matters.

No hidden "premium ultra max" tier. No artificial limitations to push you toward expensive plans. Just pick what fits your workflow.

Aspect Ratios Without the Headache Three options: square (1:1), portrait (2:3), and landscape (3:2). That's it. We're not trying to offer 47 different sizes because honestly, these three cover like 95% of real-world use cases. Instagram posts, blog headers, presentation slides—done.

Built for Teams Who Ship We're not positioning this as a toy for hobbyists. GPT Image 1.5 is for:

Design teams who need to mock up interfaces fast Marketing people cranking out campaign assets on deadline Product managers who need to show stakeholders what they're thinking Anyone who's tired of spending half their day wrestling with AI tools Commercial Rights Included Yeah, you can actually use these images in your products. Seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how many tools have weird licensing restrictions buried in the fine print.

No, you didn't. This is spam.
