Use cases
GPT-5 Image Mini is a natively multimodal model that accepts file, image, and text inputs and returns image and text outputs. It is documented as supporting image generation and image editing, along with text rendering and instruction following.
It can be used for generating images from text prompts and reference images, including editing existing images when a user provides image inputs. It can also be used for workflows that combine text understanding with visual creation, such as producing graphics from written instructions or revising images based on textual feedback.
Because it supports file input, it can be used to inspect and work from uploaded documents or other supported files as part of a text-and-image workflow. Because it supports structured output and tools, it can be used in applications that need formatted responses or external tool-assisted image and text tasks.
