GPT Image 2 vs DALL·E: What’s Actually Different in 2026

GPT image 2 vs dalle threads mix nostalgia with new model cards. I care about usable product frames on GPT Image 2—and when to switch to Nano Banana 2.

TL;DR

Need	My lean
Strong prompt following / newer stack	GPT Image 2
Casual chat-era habits	DALL·E-class familiarity
Precision “change X keep Y”	Often Nano Banana 2
Catalog packshots	Test GPT Image 2 + Banana

How I brief both

Same SKU sentence, same negative constraints, score label legibility and shadow honesty.
