Duct Tape 3 is an online AI image generation platform. The page positions it as GPT Image 2, the next-generation ChatGPT image model, and offers a free online entry point. It also describes Duct Tape 1, 2, and 3 as a model family, where 1 is the fast tier, 2 is the default balanced tier, and 3 is the flagship tier. Users can directly select the tier instead of being randomly matched in an anonymous arena.
[Main Capabilities]
- Text-to-image: Generate images by describing a scene in natural language, covering photorealistic rendering, artistic styles, product images, and more.
- Image transformation (image-to-image): Upload reference images for transformation, stylization, blending, or reimagining. The page states that up to 14 reference images can be uploaded.
- Multi-model selection: In addition to Duct Tape 3, you can also switch to Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 1.5.
- 2K ultra-HD output: Every generated image is delivered at 2K resolution, suitable for printing, professional publishing, or commercial use.
- Prompt adherence: The page emphasizes that it can follow instructions relatively precisely, handling complex compositions, specific details, and subtle prompts.
- Privacy protection: The page states that prompts and images are handled securely and will not be stored, shared, or used for model training.
[How to Use] The page provides a three-step process:
- Enter a prompt or upload an image—write a detailed text description, or upload a reference image for image-to-image transformation.
