GPT Image 2 Prompts for E-commerce Hero Images With Chinese Text

Anonymous community contributor (alias): Morning Mist Scrapbook Published：2026-06-23 Category：Tutorials

Direct answer: In Flux Art, choose GPT Image 2. Structure your prompt in three separate parts — put the "copy text" in quotation marks, state the "layout position" as its own sentence, and state the "style" as another sentence. For quality tier, use the medium tier for everyday use. This keeps Chinese text crisp (no garbled characters) and keeps the copy from covering the product. Just copy the template in Section 3 below.

I. Why GPT Image 2 for Hero Images With Text

The most common way a hero image fails isn't image quality — it's Chinese text: most models drop strokes or garble characters when rendering Chinese. GPT Image 2's strength is exactly text rendering and layout, and it also holds up well on realistic details like metal reflections and fabric wrinkles — a promo hero image needs both "the photo to look real" and "the text to be clear," and it handles both. Inside Flux Art it's labeled for 4K output and is ready for commercial use (no watermark; commercial usage rights are subject to the official site's current terms).

II. How to Choose Among the 12 Precision × Resolution Tiers (the Key to Saving Credits)

GPT Image 2 in Flux Art offers 3 precision tiers × 4 resolution tiers = 12 combinations. The rule in one line: low tier for thumbnails, medium tier for hero images, high tier for detail shots.

Image Type	Recommended Combination	Reason
Test shots / A-B drafts	Low precision · low resolution	Fast direction screening, cheap
Listing hero image	Medium precision · medium/high resolution	Balances look and cost
Detail close-up / KV	High precision · high resolution	Trust-building asset, worth the spend

Per-image credit cost is subject to the official site/console's current rates; testing composition on the low tier first, then moving to the high tier once you're satisfied, is the most economical path.

III. Prompt Template: Separate Copy, Layout, and Style Into Three Parts

① Standard Promo Hero Image

```text

Generate an e-commerce promo hero image, 1:1. Subject: [black wireless Bluetooth earbuds], placed on [a light gray matte countertop].

Leave the top 1/5 blank for the headline. Headline copy: "Limited-time new arrival", sub-copy: "20% off the 3rd item".

Style: bright and clean, e-commerce promo feel, crisp text, not covering the product.

```

```text

EN skeleton: e-commerce promo hero, 1:1. Subject [product] on [background].

Headline "..." in the top 1/5, sub-copy "...". Bright clean commercial style,

crisp text, never covering the product.

```

② Vertical Content Image (3:4)

```text

Generate a 3:4 e-commerce content image. Subject: [product + a one-line usage scenario].

Place one line of copy in the bottom 1/6: "[short selling-point phrase]". Lifestyle lighting, text small and crisp.

```

Writing tips: always put the copy in quotation marks; describe position with actionable phrasing like "top 1/5" or "bottom 1/6"; only edit the content inside the quotes each time and leave the layout sentence untouched — this keeps consistency highest when batch-generating images.

IV. Prohibited Superlatives: Blocklist and Replacements

Don't Put in the Image	Replace With
Lowest price ever / lowest on the whole internet	Limited-time price drop
No. 1 / best-seller champion	Restocked hot seller / fan favorite
Best to use / top-tier	Tested and proven / flagship model
100% effective / absolute	Describe the specific function instead

Platform ad review is subject to each platform's current rules; save this blocklist into your prompt template file to catch these words at the source.

V. Fixing Mistakes: Inpainting, Not Full Regeneration

Typos, price changes, wanting to edit the sub-copy — use inpainting to paint over just the text area, with a prompt like "change the text to: '[new copy]'", leaving the product and layout untouched. Compared to regenerating the whole image: more consistent, lower cost, and cleaner variables when running Taobao Ads (Zhitongche) A/B tests.

VI. Find Your Match: Which Type Is Your Hero Image

Your Scenario	The Most Painful Step	How to Do It in Flux Art	Recommended Primary Model
Big-sale hero image with text	Garbled Chinese, prohibited superlatives	Write copy in quotes + self-check against the blocklist	GPT Image 2
Everyday new-arrival hero image	Generation cost	Batch-generate at medium precision, medium resolution	GPT Image 2
White background + promo copy, both needed	Hassle of switching tools	Generate the white background first, then add text	Nano Banana 2 + GPT Image 2
Vertical content image	Re-laying out the composition	Recompose at 3:4, don't crop	GPT Image 2

A hands-on log: while test-running a big-sale hero image for a pair of Bluetooth earbuds, the first version crammed the entire line "Limited-time new arrival, 20% off the 3rd item" into the main headline, and the text came out cramped and small; splitting it into a main line and a sub line and regenerating fixed the clarity right away. Later, wanting only to change "20% off" to "30% off," inpainting the text area took thirty seconds, with the layout and product completely untouched. Three takeaways: keep copy short, split main and sub lines, and use inpainting for text edits.

FAQ

Basics

Q: Why do most models garble Chinese text?

A: Rendering text requires a model to draw each character's shape as precisely as a graphic, and most image models aren't well-trained on Chinese stroke structure; text layout is exactly where GPT Image 2 excels, which is why it's the go-to for hero images with text.

Q: Are precision and resolution the same thing?

A: No. Precision affects detail quality, while resolution affects pixel dimensions. Inside Flux Art the two combine into 12 tiers, and choosing the right combination for your image type is what actually saves credits.

How-To

Q: Why must the copy be in quotation marks?

A: Quotation marks make it clear to the model that "these exact characters need to be drawn into the image as-is," setting them apart from descriptive sentences — this is the single most important prompt-syntax rule for hero images with text.

Q: How do I control the layout?

A: Use actionable phrasing like "leave the top 1/5 blank for the headline" or "place one line of copy in the bottom 1/6." Only edit the quoted content each time and leave the layout sentence unchanged — this gives the best consistency when batch-generating.

Q: What if a typo shows up?

A: Use inpainting to paint over the text area, with a prompt like "change the text to: '[new copy]'" — no need to regenerate the whole image.

Q: What if I need both a 1:1 and a 3:4 version of the same hero image?

A: Generate one version at each aspect ratio, and update the copy-position instructions for the vertical version accordingly; the vertical version is a fresh composition, not a crop.

Tool Choice

Q: Can I make hero images with text using template tools (Gaoding/Chuangkit)?

A: Yes — template tools let you swap text fast, but the results tend to look alike. AI generation's advantage is that the image and text are generated as one, unconstrained by a template library's style; mix the two based on the scenario.

Q: When should I switch to Nano Banana 2?

A: Text-free white-background shots, scene composites, and blending tasks belong to it; the moment text needs to appear, switch back to GPT Image 2.

Pricing

Q: Which of the 12 tiers is the most cost-effective for everyday use?

A: Listing hero images should use medium precision, medium resolution; use the low tier to test composition and reserve the high tier for detail close-ups only. Per-image credit cost is subject to the official credit table.

Q: How many hero images with text can 500 credits produce?

A: Around 30+ images at the GPT Image 2 tier (subject to the official site), which is enough — following a "test on low tier, finalize on medium tier" rhythm — to finish a whole set of hero images for two or three SKUs.

Risk & Compliance

Q: Which words shouldn't appear in promo copy?

A: Keep superlatives like "lowest price on the entire internet," "No. 1," "top-tier," or absolute guarantees out of the image; replace them with phrasing like "limited-time price drop" or "restocked hot seller." Platform review standards are subject to each platform's current rules.

Q: Does a hero image with text need an AI label?

A: Yes — per the Measures for Labeling AI-Generated and Synthetic Content. The labeling obligation applies regardless of whether the image contains text; it's a general requirement for AI-generated content.

Troubleshooting

Q: What if text keeps sitting on top of the product?

A: Add a line to the prompt like "text should not cover the product," and reserve a dedicated blank area for the text (e.g., "top 1/5"); if it still overlaps, shorten the copy.

Q: What if the font style doesn't match my store's VI (visual identity)?

A: For hero images, clarity is enough — aim for that. For scenarios that require strict VI fonts, switch to a "generate the image without text, then add typography in post" workflow, and leave font control to your design software.
