GPT-4o Image: Native Multimodal Creation & Editing

​

Overview

GPT-4o Image Generation, powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o model, is a groundbreaking tool that integrates text and image processing into a single, natively multimodal system. This allows for unprecedented flexibility in creating and editing visuals. ImagenCraft provides a platform to utilize GPT-4o’s capabilities, excelling at accurate text rendering, precise prompt following, and leveraging in-context learning from uploaded images. It offers distinct Generate and Edit modes to cover a wide range of creative and practical applications.

​

Modes of Operation

GPT-4o Image offers two primary modes to suit your creative workflow:

​

Generate Mode: Create Images from Text

In Generate mode, you can create entirely new images from scratch by providing a text prompt.

Inputs & Options (Generate Mode):

• Prompt: Your text description of the desired image. (Max 1000 characters)
• Quality: Control the level of detail and generation time.
  • Possible values: low (Faster), medium, high (Slower), auto.
• Size: Select the output resolution and aspect ratio.
  • Possible values: 1024x1024 (Square), 1024x1536 (Portrait), 1536x1024 (Landscape), auto.
• Background: Choose the background type.
  • Possible values: opaque, transparent (Note: Availability depends on Output Format).
• Moderation: Adjust content filtering sensitivity.
  • Possible values: auto (Standard), low (Less Restrictive).
• Output Format: File format (PNG, JPEG, WebP).
• Compression Quality: For JPEG/WebP output (0-100).

Generate Mode Examples

Explore the diverse range of images you can generate from text prompts:

Design a holographic campaign for a sustainable ocean cleanup initiative using solarpunk aesthetics. Incorporate bioluminescent sea creatures with crystalline structures to convey hope for the future. Feature cleaning drones through iridescent animations, emphasizing the harmony between technology and nature.

Create a clean, elegant, and professional thumbnail design for a skincare brand. The image features a model applying cream to their face, exuding relaxation and self-care. Use soft, natural lighting to highlight the product and the model’s skin. Add subtle text overlay with a modern sans-serif font saying ‘Glow Naturally’ or ‘[Wish Glow] Skincare.’ Incorporate pastel tones like blush pink, soft beige, or mint green in the background to evoke a soothing, luxurious vibe. Include minimalistic icons (e.g., leaves, droplets) to emphasize naturality and hydration. Ensure the focus remains on the model’s glowing skin and the act of applying the cream, creating an aspirational yet approachable aesthetic

Create an infographic on ‘Survey Results on Podcasts’ with vibrant colors, modern icons, and clear typography. Highlight key stats like listening frequency, devices, and topics. Keep the design clean, professional, and easy to read

Create a single page comic or graphic novel covering an entire story of a boy who finds a lost key and goes on an adventure, relentlessly, to find a treasure at the end. The entire story, along with dialogues, must fit within one page of 6 – 8 panels. You can create the characters and graphics based on any theme of your choice.

Edit Mode: Maskless Image Modification

Edit mode allows you to modify an existing image by providing written instructions. It offers different edit types to suit your needs. Requires an Image Upload (except for Reference Images).

Edit Types Available:

Common Inputs & Options (Edit Mode):

• Prompt: Describes the desired changes (Maskless, Draw Mask) or how to use references (Reference Images).
• Quality: Control output quality (Same options as Generate).
• Size: Select output size (Same options as Generate).
• Background: Choose background type (Same options as Generate).
• Moderation: Adjust content filtering (Same options as Generate).
• Uploaded Image: The base image to edit (for Draw Mask, Maskless).
• Mask Image: The mask drawn on the uploaded image (for Draw Mask).
• Reference Images: Images to use as visual inspiration (for Reference Images).

​

Edit Mode Examples
