What is GPT Image 2.5?
A new generation of image creation and editing
Released on September 8, 2026, GPT Image 2.5 improves editing consistency, infographic accuracy, layout control, and iteration speed. Image 2.5 brings those capabilities into a focused browser workflow for everyday visual production.
- 01
Create from text, images, or a sketch
Begin with a written brief, one or more visual references, or a rough drawing. Define the subject, composition, materials, and intended use in one prompt.
- 02
Edit with more precision
Change a setting, style, object, or composition while retaining more of the details that should stay recognizable.
- 03
Build clearer layouts and infographics
Create visual hierarchy, spacing, callouts, and the information that matters. Text rendering is improved, but final copy still deserves review.
- 04
Iterate in a continuous conversation
Refine an image across multiple turns, use reference images to guide the next version, and compare deliberate changes instead of restarting.
Core capabilities
Move from direction to a production-ready visual
Use detailed prompts and references to preserve what matters, revise what does not, and shape each result for a real creative task.
1Keep products coherent across a campaign
Use a product reference to explore studio shots, lifestyle scenes, and new compositions while holding onto recognizable shape, materials, and label structure.
2Preserve characters through a sequence
Keep a character's face, wardrobe, proportions, and mood connected as pose, framing, and action change from one frame to the next.
3Make a targeted edit without losing the scene
Use a direct instruction or mask to isolate the change. Adjust color, material, background, or styling while preserving the useful parts of the source image.
How Image 2.5 works
Create or edit an image in four steps
Choose the right model, provide a clear source, set the output, and refine the strongest result.
- 01
Choose Sunburst or Flare
Use Sunburst when editing precision and maximum image quality matter most. Choose Flare for fast, high-quality everyday generation.
- 02
Add a prompt and visual references
Start from text, upload images, or provide a sketch. Separate what should change from the details that must remain consistent.
- 03
Set size, quality, and format
Choose automatic or custom dimensions, select a quality level, and use PNG, JPEG, or WebP with opaque or transparent backgrounds where supported.
- 04
Generate, inspect, and refine
Review text, hands, materials, layout, and identity details. Stream partial previews where available, then refine the most important change.
Creative use cases
Put Image 2.5 to work across your visual pipeline
Develop campaign assets, informational graphics, story frames, or precise image revisions from the same flexible workflow.
Infographics and structured layouts
Turn a dense brief into a clearer visual hierarchy for explainers, presentations, posters, diagrams, and information-rich social posts.
Characters, scenes, and storyboards
Develop a recurring subject across scenes and plan visual beats for comics, films, presentations, or narrative concepts.
Photo and design edits
Replace a background, restyle a scene, recolor an object, extend a composition, or revise a selected area without remaking the whole image.
Image 2.5 FAQ
GPT Image 2.5 questions, answered
Understand the model choices, inputs, output controls, editing workflow, and practical limitations before you create.
01What is GPT Image 2.5?
GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's image-generation and editing family released on September 8, 2026. It accepts text and image inputs and produces images through two variants: Sunburst and Flare.
02What is the difference between Sunburst and Flare?
Sunburst is the quality-first model for workflows where editing precision matters most. Flare is the fastest GPT Image 2.5 model for high-quality everyday generation.
03Can Image 2.5 generate and edit images?
Yes. Create a new image from a prompt, edit an existing image, use multiple images as references, or guide a targeted change with a mask. Multi-turn workflows let you continue refining the same visual direction.
04Which sizes and formats does GPT Image 2.5 support?
It supports recommended square, landscape, and portrait sizes plus custom dimensions up to 4K within documented limits. Output can be PNG, JPEG, or WebP, with transparent backgrounds available for PNG and WebP.
05Which quality settings are available?
GPT Image 2.5 supports low, medium, high, xhigh, max, and auto quality. Use lower quality for quick drafts and compare higher settings for final detail, latency, and cost.
06How do I keep a character or product consistent?
Use clear reference images, name the features that must stay recognizable, and keep each revision focused. GPT Image 2.5 improves detail retention during edits, though every result should still be reviewed.
07How fast is GPT Image 2.5?
Flare is optimized for speed, while Sunburst prioritizes editing precision and image quality. Complex prompts can still take up to two minutes, and partial-image streaming can provide progress previews.
08Can I use generated images for commercial projects?
Paid plans and credit packs support personal and commercial projects, subject to the terms of service and your rights to any uploaded source material. Review every output before publishing or delivery.
