OpenAI highlights better multilingual text rendering, structured generation (diagrams, infographics, charts, posters, comics) and more reliable instruction following. On Tchavi: three formats (square, portrait, landscape), three quality levels and reference images to edit or keep a style.

On Tchavi you pay with mobile money, no card and no KYC. One API key opens 80+ models, images and video included: compare GPT Image 2 with the others on the same prompt.

Example prompts

  • Concert poster for the "Nuits de Cotonou" festival, 18 and 19 March, with a large legible title, three lines of programme and a wax-print pattern background.

  • Vertical infographic in 4 steps: how to pay with mobile money and get an API key. Simple icons, short French text, lime and black palette.

  • Isometric illustration of a bustling West African market at golden hour, colourful stalls, signs legible in French.

Good to know

  • Only three formats on Tchavi (1024×1024, 1024×1536, 1536×1024), even though OpenAI advertises resolutions up to 2K.
  • The low level is for iterating on a prompt; keep high for the final render.

Frequently asked questions

GPT Image 2 or GPT Image 1.5: which should I pick?

GPT Image 2 is the newer of the two and the one to try first for new work. Keep GPT Image 1.5 only to reproduce an existing look.

GPT Image 2 or GPT Image 1 mini?

Mini is for iterating fast on a prompt. Move to GPT Image 2 when on-image text, layout or fidelity to the brief matter for the final render.

GPT Image 2 or Nano Banana Pro?

They come from different vendors. With one Tchavi key, send the same prompt to both and keep the render that suits your use.

Which formats and quality levels are available?

Three formats: 1024×1024, 1024×1536 and 1536×1024. Three quality levels: low, medium and high.

Can I start from an existing image?

Yes: GPT Image 2 accepts reference images to edit a picture or keep a style, alongside the text prompt.

How do I call GPT Image 2?

With your Tchavi API key, request an image generation with model: "gpt-image-2", your prompt, and the format and quality you want.

Can I pay with mobile money, without a bank card?

Yes. Top up your Tchavi account with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, M-Pesa or another mobile money operator. No bank card is needed. Credits land as soon as the payment is confirmed and are deducted as you use them.

Is the API compatible with OpenAI's?

Yes. Keep your current OpenAI SDK, just change the base URL to Tchavi's (shown in the API tab) and use your Tchavi key. The rest of your code stays the same.
