OpenAI API image workflows

This page collects the workflow pattern behind OpenAI API image generation searches.

Official API paths

OpenAI's docs describe two useful paths for image work:

  • The Images API for generating or editing images
  • The Responses API for image input, image output, and multi-turn image generation

When you use the Responses API image tool, the docs show an action setting that can stay automatic or be forced to generate or edit. The same docs also describe multi-turn iteration with previous_response_id.

What to plan

  • Prompt input
  • Output format
  • Revision loop
  • Review handoff
  • Publishing check

Workflow shape

  1. Draft the prompt.
  2. Generate the first image.
  3. Review one change at a time.
  4. Save the approved version.
  5. Move the result into your publishing flow.
