What GPT Image 2.5 does well
Every image below is an unedited GPT Image 2.5 result, shown with the exact prompt that made it.
Text and typography
Headlines, labels and small print come out spelled correctly and laid out cleanly, so posters are usable as generated.
Prompt · Flare · 2K: A vintage travel poster that reads 'LISBON' in large Art Deco letters at the top and 'CITY OF SEVEN HILLS' in small caps at the bottom. A yellow tram climbs a steep cobblestone street toward a pastel skyline at golden hour. Flat screen-print style, limited palette of teal, mustard and cream, subtle paper grain.
Product photography
Studio lighting, real materials and readable branding on the product, ready for a store page or an ad.
Prompt · Flare · 2K: Studio product photograph of a matte sage-green ceramic coffee mug with the words 'MORNING RITUAL' printed in small white serif type, on a light oak table next to a folded linen napkin and scattered coffee beans. Soft window light from the left, shallow depth of field, clean commercial look.
Infographics and layouts
Numbered steps, icons and captions arranged on a grid, with consistent spacing and legible text.
Prompt · Sunburst · 2K: A clean, modern infographic titled 'From Bean to Cup' with four numbered steps laid out vertically: 1 Harvest, 2 Roast, 3 Grind, 4 Brew. Each step has a simple flat icon and one short caption. White background, teal and warm brown accents, generous spacing, crisp legible sans-serif text.
Photorealistic scenes
Believable light, reflections and lens character for street, travel and lifestyle photos.
Prompt · Flare · 2K: Candid street photograph in a Tokyo alley at dusk after light rain. A cyclist in a yellow raincoat passes glowing paper lanterns and small izakaya signs, reflections on the wet pavement, shot on a 35mm lens, natural film grain, realistic lighting.
Illustration styles
Watercolor, picture book, flat vector and more, holding one style consistently across the whole image.
Prompt · Flare · 1K: Children's picture book illustration of a red fox reading a book under a large oak tree in autumn, falling leaves, a small lantern hanging from a branch. Soft watercolor and colored pencil texture, warm cozy palette, gentle storybook composition.
Reference-based edits
Keep the person, outfit and pose from your photo while adding text, changing the scene or restyling it.
Prompt · Sunburst · 2K: Turn this photo into a fashion magazine cover. Keep the woman, her outfit and pose exactly as they are. Add the masthead "CITY WALK" in large bold serif letters at the top, the cover line "Autumn Street Style" on the left, and "ISSUE 12 · OCTOBER" in small caps at the bottom. Clean editorial layout.
Edit a Photo with GPT Image 2.5
A kawaii-style sticker of the image. The design features bold, clean outlines, simple cel-shading, and a vibrant color palette, with a white background.

What is GPT Image 2.5?
GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's latest image generation and editing model. It turns text prompts into images and edits your photos from natural-language instructions, with noticeably better text rendering and edit accuracy than GPT Image 2.
What is the difference between Flare and Sunburst?
Both are GPT Image 2.5. Flare is faster and suits everyday images, drafts and batches. Sunburst focuses on precision and suits product shots, ad creatives and edits where faces, logos or layouts must stay intact. They cost the same.
How many credits does GPT Image 2.5 cost?
Each image costs 12 credits at 1K, 16 credits at 2K and 24 credits at 4K. Flare and Sunburst are priced the same, reference images are free, and failed generations are refunded automatically.
How is GPT Image 2.5 different from GPT Image 2?
GPT Image 2.5 adds the Flare and Sunburst versions, 2K and 4K output, and more reference images per edit. It renders text more reliably and keeps edited subjects closer to the original.
Can GPT Image 2.5 render text accurately?
Yes. Put the exact words in quotes in your prompt, for example a headline, a label or a sign. Short headlines and labels come out cleanly; for long paragraphs, split the text into a few short lines.
How many reference images can I upload?
Up to 14 per generation, in PNG, JPG or WEBP. The first image is treated as the main subject, so put the photo you want to keep in first place.
Which resolution should I choose?
1K is enough for drafts and social posts. 2K fits websites, ads and product pages. Choose 4K for print, large banners or when you plan to crop in.
Which aspect ratios are supported?
Auto, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3, 5:4, 4:5 and 21:9. With Auto, the model picks the framing that fits your prompt or reference image.
How long does a generation take?
Most images finish in about 20 to 60 seconds. 4K images and edits with many references take the longest.
Can I use GPT Image 2.5 images in my projects?
Yes, you can download your images and use them in your work. Review each result before publishing it: you are responsible for the prompts and photos you upload and for how the output is used. See our Terms of Service for details.
What content is not allowed?
Prompts and uploaded images are screened before generation. Sexual content and other material that breaks our Terms of Service is blocked, and blocked requests are not charged.
