How many credits does one image cost?

12 credits for 1K, 15 for 2K, and 22 for 4K. Your first 20 signup credits are included; after that you can buy a credit pack or subscribe.

How do I choose between 1K, 2K, and 4K?

Choose 1K to explore ideas and preview compositions, or 2K for everyday sharing and website images. Consider 4K for larger displays or more room to crop. Match the resolution to your intended use; you do not need the highest setting every time.

Which model should I use, Flare or Sunburst?

Pick Flare when speed matters; pick Sunburst when the edit needs to be precise — for example, retouching one area while the rest of the image stays intact. Both are available here at the same price.

Can I edit an existing image instead of generating a new one?

Yes. Upload a photo and describe the change; the rest of the image stays intact. You can also make multi-turn edits, refining one thing at a time.

Does it support transparent backgrounds?

Yes. Both Flare and Sunburst can generate and edit with transparent backgrounds, which is useful for product shots and design assets.

Do I need a ChatGPT account or subscription?

No. Use it directly here with your own credits — no ChatGPT Plus subscription required.

How is it different from GPT Image 2?

Sunburst produces higher image quality than GPT Image 2, while Flare matches GPT Image 2's quality with faster generation. Both improve precise editing and subject preservation.

Can I use the images commercially?

Yes — images generated on a paid plan (credit pack or subscription) come with commercial usage rights.

Is GPT Image 2.5 the same as ChatGPT Images 2.5 and Image 2.5?

Yes — all three names refer to the same OpenAI model. GPT Image 2.5 is the API name, ChatGPT Images 2.5 is the product name, and Image 2.5 is the short name. This site is an independent tool built on OpenAI's API.
