Output Schema
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id | string | Unique identifier for the generation task |
status | string | Task status: pending, running, completed, failed, timeout |
model | string | Model used for the generation |
outputs | array | Array of output items |

Async Workflow
This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.
- Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an
id - Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is
completed,failed, ortimeout - Retrieve — Read
outputsfrom the completed response

Gpt Image 1 Mini Edit
Gpt Image 1 Mini Edit is built for instruction-following image generation, with this exact route focused on precise image editing. Gpt Image 1 Mini Edit is OpenAI's intelligent image editing model. Transform, retouch, and reimagine existing images using text prompts - from background replacement to artistic style conversion. It is designed for production workflows that need a clearly scoped media operation instead of a generic assistant response, preserving the supplied direction while returning an artifact ready for review, iteration, or downstream assembly.
The request surface keeps creative direction and delivery choices explicit through prompt, quality, sync_mode, background, image_size, image_urls. Teams can lock source material, describe the intended result, choose supported output controls, and rerun the same request structure across variations. This makes experiments easier to compare and larger pipelines easier to operate without hiding important decisions inside an opaque preset.
Highlights
- Precise Image Editing. The
openai/gpt-image-1-mini/editroute is dedicated to precise image editing, keeping inputs and outputs matched to this operation. - Quality-Aware Visual Production. Within
openai/gpt-image-1-mini/edit, documented prompt and media controls direct quality-aware visual production while keeping the brief close to the result. - Detailed Compositional Control. The
openai/gpt-image-1-mini/editresult provides detailed compositional control in a machine-consumable form for review and downstream production. - Route-specific control. For
openai/gpt-image-1-mini/edit, documented controls includeprompt,quality,sync_mode,background,image_size,image_urls, defining the supported variation space for this exact route.
Pricing
| Configuration | Price |
|---|---|
| Up to 1,000 characters | $0.002 |
| 1,001–2,000 characters | $0.004 |
| Each additional started 1,000 characters | +$0.002 |
When to Use
| Scenario | Why it fits |
|---|---|
| Choose this route | When the deliverable is specifically precise image editing, not a neighboring generation or editing task. |
| Production iteration | When creative teams need repeatable quality-aware visual production with an explicit request payload. |
| Automated pipelines | When detailed compositional control must flow into review, storage, compositing, or publishing. |
| Controlled variations | When a stable brief should be rerun while changing only documented inputs. |
| Prototype to scale | When the same openai/gpt-image-1-mini/edit contract should serve a single experiment and a larger batch later. |
Prompt Guide
Lead with the subject or source, then state the transformation, important spatial or temporal details, style, and finish. Supply only documented fields, keep media URLs reachable, and vary one control at a time when comparing outputs.
{
"prompt": "A directed creative request with subject, setting, style, motion, and finish."
