Your app's AI features can now edit images with OpenAI's image models, GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 1 Mini, which previously could only generate new ones. Ask Lovable to build a feature where people upload a photo and describe a change, and it adds image editing to your app. Edits can change the whole image or only an area you mark, like swapping the background while leaving the rest untouched. Editing an image uses credits based on the model and the work performed, like other AI usage.

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

  1. Stand it up from scratch

    You have read the record and want Image editing with OpenAI models for your app's AI features working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

    Set up Image editing with OpenAI models for your app's AI features in this project — your app's AI features can now edit images with OpenAI's image models, GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 1 Mini, which previously could only. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

    Expected outcome

    A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

  2. Decide whether it fits your project

    Worth five minutes before you wire anything in. Image editing with OpenAI models for your app's AI features sits in AI Models, and not every project needs it.

    I am building the project in this workspace. Given that Image editing with OpenAI models for your app's AI features your app's AI features can now edit images with OpenAI's image models, GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 1 Mini, which previously could only, tell me honestly whether it fits what I am building, including the cases where I should not use it. If it does fit, give me the single smallest first step.

    Expected outcome

    A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.

  3. Brief your team on it

    Someone has to explain the change to the people who will live with it. This produces that note.

    Write a short note for my team about Image editing with OpenAI models for your app's AI features in Lovable — your app's AI features can now edit images with OpenAI's image models, GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 1 Mini, which previously could only. Under 120 words: what it is, what changes for us, and what we should do about it this week. Plain language, no hype, no bullet padding.

    Expected outcome

    A note you can paste into chat as-is. Read it once for anything overstated before you send it.
