Model Overview

What Is GPT Image 2.5?

GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's image generation and editing model family, with Flare and Sunburst variants.

Compared with Images 2.0, this version improves how faithfully images reflect their references, how precisely requested edits are applied, and how consistently details carry through successive edits. Improvements to lighting and textures also help scenes look more convincing. These changes matter when a recognizable subject needs to remain coherent as an image develops.

Flare emphasizes quicker everyday creation, while Sunburst emphasizes precision for more demanding work. Both support image generation, editing, and focused changes that preserve important subject details. The difference is a trade-off in emphasis, with fine editing available across the family.

Creation and Editing

Key Features of GPT Image 2.5

Create new images, develop existing ones, and prepare the finished output for your design.

Focused Edits and Subject Preservation

Focused editing lets you describe what should change and which subject details should stay recognizable. GPT Image 2.5 uses those instructions to guide changes within a source image, helping you adjust clothing, background, or lighting while retaining the details that make the subject familiar. Both Flare and Sunburst support this control.

Text-to-Image Generation

Text-to-image generation turns a written idea into a new image. Your description can establish the subject, surroundings, composition, and style, giving you a starting point for illustrations, campaign concepts, or original scenes when you do not have a source photo.

Uploaded Image Editing

Uploaded image editing combines a photo or illustration you already have with written instructions for a revised version. The source image provides the visual starting point, while your words describe how to change it. This lets you develop a product photo, adapt an illustration, or explore a different setting using your existing material.

Flare and Sunburst Model Choice

Flare prioritizes speed for exploring ideas and routine image tasks; Sunburst takes more time to emphasize precision in demanding edits and intricate images. Both generate and edit, including focused changes. The choice lets you weigh quicker iteration against greater attention to detail when developing a new image or revising an existing one.

Transparent Background Output

Transparent output produces an image you can place over another background. It is useful for a product cutout, illustration, or decorative element that needs to sit inside a larger design. Compatible PNG or WebP output keeps the transparent areas available for that layout.

Image Size, Aspect Ratio, and Quality

Size and aspect ratio options help shape an image for a portrait post, square graphic, or wide banner. Quality options let you choose the level of detail within the selected model's supported range. These controls address different needs: the image's dimensions and the quality of its rendering.

Common Questions

GPT Image 2.5 FAQs

Find help with model choice, editing, output, and credits.

Which model should I choose for my image?

If you are still deciding on the composition or style, start with Flare to explore the idea. If you already know the image you want and have a detailed change in mind, consider Sunburst for that edit. You do not have to switch models simply because you are editing: Flare also supports focused changes.

Can I change one part of a photo and keep the subject recognizable?

Yes. Describe the part you want to change and the subject details you want to keep. This helps guide a focused edit, though details elsewhere in the image may also change. For a photo where identity or product appearance matters, compare the result with your original before using it.

Can I keep editing an image after the first result?

Yes. You can use a generated result as the source for another edit. You can also return to your original image to explore a separate version, which is useful when you want to try a different change without building on the previous result.

What file format should I use for a transparent image?

Use PNG or WebP when you need to keep a transparent background. JPEG does not retain transparency, so it will not preserve the empty areas you need when placing the image over another design.

What does the quality setting change?

Quality controls the level of detail in the image's rendering. It is separate from output size, so choosing a higher quality does not automatically make the image larger. The available quality choices depend on the model you select.

Can I request any image dimensions?

You can choose from the dimensions and aspect ratios available for your selected model. If the exact size you need is not offered, writing it in the prompt does not make it an available output setting. Choose a supported option that suits your layout; an exact required size may need adjustment after download.

Do I need a subscription to use credits?

No. Credits are purchased with a one-time payment, and they never expire. You can use the remaining balance on later visits without a recurring subscription.

Is this the official OpenAI image tool?

No. This is an independent image generation and editing tool that uses GPT Image 2.5 models from OpenAI. The site is not operated by OpenAI.
