I open-sourced 500 GPT Image 2 prompts with preview images and a searchable website

#ai #opensource #promptengineering #showdev

I have been building GPT Image Lab, a visual prompt library for gpt-image-2.

The goal is simple: make GPT Image 2 prompts easier to browse, evaluate, copy, and reuse. Instead of keeping prompts as isolated text snippets, every item is paired with a preview image, category, source metadata, and a path back to the original example.

Current snapshot, using the latest available data from 2026-04-26:

  • Website library: 2,985 prompt/template items
  • Prompts: 1,060
  • Templates: 1,925
  • Newly added on 2026-04-26: +703
  • New prompts: +443
  • New templates: +260
  • Open-source GitHub collection: 500 curated prompts

Links:

The website supports browsing by image and generating images from prompts in one click. The GitHub repo provides a smaller curated set with preview images and machine-readable exports.

Why I built it

Great gpt-image-2 prompt examples are scattered across social posts, prompt sites, Reddit threads, and demos. The image might be useful, but the prompt is hard to find. Or the prompt is available, but you cannot quickly judge whether it is worth reusing.

So I organized the project around three layers:

  1. A website for visual browsing and one-click image generation.
  2. A GitHub repo with 500 curated, image-backed prompts.
  3. JSON and CSV exports for developers who want to analyze or reuse the data.

The repository currently includes:

  • 500 copy-ready GPT Image 2 prompts
  • Preview images
  • Categories such as Infographic, Poster, UI Mockup, Product Visual, 3D Scene, and more
  • Source attribution
  • data/gpt-image-2-prompts.json
  • data/gpt-image-2-prompts.csv

What I want to improve next

Next, I want to keep improving:

  • Better categories and filters
  • More prompt templates
  • Better examples for ecommerce, posters, infographics, UI mockups, and thumbnails
  • Cleaner contribution flow for the GitHub repo
  • More structured metadata for downstream analysis
