Key Features of GPT Image 2.5

The GPT Image 2.5 AI image generator renders light and materials the way a camera records them, keeps reference subjects recognizable and applies each edit only where you ask.

Natural Light and Real Texture

Natural Light and Real Texture

Say where the light comes from, such as a tall window on the left or a single softbox, and name the materials in the frame. GPT Image 2.5 renders skin, clay, fabric and glass with the falloff and grain of a real photograph, so a portrait holds up at full size in campaigns and editorial pages.

Reference Subjects That Stay Recognizable

Reference Subjects That Stay Recognizable

Upload your product, character or location and give each image a role, such as the product, the setting or the color palette. GPT Image 2.5 keeps the shape, label and distinctive details of the subject as it moves into a new scene, style or layout.

Edits That Change One Thing

Edits That Change One Thing

Write "change only" followed by the edit, then list what must stay, such as the camera angle, the lighting and the rest of the furniture. Send the result back for the next round, and earlier changes hold, so the fifth version is still the same room.

Exact Text and Structured Layouts

Exact Text and Structured Layouts

Put the required wording in quotes and describe where it sits and how it's set. GPT Image 2.5 keeps headlines, dates and venue lines in their hierarchy on posters, packaging and slides. For very small print, choose high quality and proofread before you publish.

GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst

The GPT Image 2.5 AI image generator comes in two versions built for two stages of one project. GPT Image 2.5 Flare returns images with up to 50% lower latency than GPT Image 2, fast enough to try a dozen compositions, crops and headlines in one sitting. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst spends longer on each image to hold finer detail and keep tighter control across edits, which makes it the version for the final product shot or campaign visual.

GPT Image 2.5 Flare edit of a bright dining nook: the white chairs are replaced with slatted wooden chairs with cream seats, and the glass table, pendant lamp and windows stay as they were.
GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst edit from the same prompt: the chairs become curved oak chairs with cream cushions, while the glass table, pendant lamp and refrigerator stay unchanged.

GPT Image 2.5 Use Cases

The GPT Image 2.5 AI image generator follows long, specific briefs, from label copy and chart values to a named era of illustration, so the first result is closer to something you can use.

An amber glass serum bottle with a black pump stands beside its white carton, both labeled Northbound, on a seamless white background.

Product Photos and Packaging

Describe the surface, the light and the label copy word for word in quotes. GPT Image 2.5 prints the wordmark and product line on both the bottle and the carton, ready for product pages and marketplace listings.

A magazine titled FATHOM, with a free diver in blue underwater light on the cover, lies on a concrete table beside a coffee cup and reading glasses.

Magazine Covers and Print

Give the masthead, the cover lines and the photo you want on the cover. GPT Image 2.5 sets each line in its own size and place, ready for mockups, pitch decks and social posts.

A pitch deck slide titled Market Opportunity with a blue bar chart from 2021 to 2026 and nested TAM, SAM and SOM circles.

Slides and Charts

Paste in your real figures and labels, name the chart types and ask for a white background with one accent color. GPT Image 2.5 lays out a slide with a bar chart and nested market circles, ready for decks and reports once you've checked every number.

An analytics dashboard with a navy sidebar, four stat tiles and a monthly recurring revenue chart above a table of accounts.

App and Dashboard Mockups

Describe the product as if it already ships, with navigation items, stat tiles, chart titles and table columns. GPT Image 2.5 fills them with legible labels and plausible data, so a direction can be reviewed as a design instead of a wireframe.

A 1950s-style illustration of a family at a window, looking out over the fields, lakes and towns inside a cylindrical space habitat.

Illustration and Concept Art

Name the era, the medium and the palette, such as a 1950s magazine illustration in gouache. GPT Image 2.5 holds that style across the whole frame, from the family in the foreground to the landscape curving overhead, for book covers and key art.

A cantilevered concrete and timber house glows at dusk above a rocky slope, with a lap pool reflecting the last light.

Architecture and Interiors

Name the materials and the time of day, such as board-formed concrete, oiled larch and dusk. GPT Image 2.5 keeps each surface readable and lights the glazing from within, ready for pitches, listings and client presentations.

How to Use GPT Image 2.5

The GPT Image 2.5 AI image generator works from a text prompt alone or from reference images, and every result can go straight back in as the starting point for the next edit.

  1. Add References

    Step 01

    Add References

    Upload up to 16 images, or skip this step and start from text. Say what each one is for, such as the product, the style or the background.

  2. Write the Prompt

    Step 02

    Write the Prompt

    Describe the subject, framing, light and materials. Put exact wording in quotes, and for an edit, write what to change and what to keep.

  3. Choose Settings and Generate

    Step 03

    Choose Settings and Generate

    Pick Flare or Sunburst, the aspect ratio, resolution and quality, then generate. Download the result, or upload it again for the next round.

GPT Image 2.5 AI Image Generator FAQs

Answers about the GPT Image 2.5 AI image generator on ImgVid, from choosing between Flare and Sunburst to what each image costs in credits.

GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's image model, released on September 8, 2026, and the model behind ChatGPT Images 2.5. Compared with GPT Image 2, it renders more natural light and richer texture, keeps the subjects of reference photos more recognizable and follows edit instructions more reliably over several rounds. On ImgVid we run it for text to image and image to image, with both versions, Flare and Sunburst, in the same generator.

It depends on the stage of the project. Both versions share the same prompts, references, resolutions and aspect ratios, and on ImgVid they use the same credits. Flare is OpenAI's default, with higher image quality than GPT Image 2 at up to 50% lower latency, so we use it to explore compositions and iterate quickly. Sunburst takes longer per image in exchange for finer detail and tighter control across edits, and OpenAI recommends it for polished product imagery and campaign creative. We save it for the final image and for edits that must leave everything else untouched.

Say what to change and what to keep. Upload the image, write "change only" followed by the edit, then list what must stay, such as the face, the camera angle, the lighting and the label. For the next change, upload the new result and repeat those constraints, one edit per round. If a detail starts to drift after several rounds, restate it, or run the edit on Sunburst, which holds constraints more tightly.

Sixteen per generation. Refer to them by number in your prompt and give each one a role, for example "image 1 is the product, image 2 is the background, image 3 sets the color palette." Products, characters and rooms keep their shape and details when GPT Image 2.5 moves them into a new scene. Only upload material you have the rights to use.

1K, 2K or 4K, in 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16, 16:9, 1:2, 2:1, 21:9 and 9:21, plus Auto, which lets the model pick the ratio. Quality comes in low, medium and high. Our tip: draft at 1K on medium, and save 2K or 4K on high for the image you plan to publish.

Yes, for headlines, labels and short captions. Put the exact wording in quotes, say where it sits and how it's set, and ask for no other text. Spell unusual brand names letter by letter. Dense copy such as menus, footnotes and small legends is less reliable, so choose high quality and proofread before anything goes to print.

It depends on resolution and quality. Flare and Sunburst use the same credits for the same settings, and higher resolution or higher quality costs more. The exact number appears in the generator before you confirm, and if a generation fails the credits go straight back to your balance.

Yes. Image models on ImgVid aren't tied to a plan, so GPT Image 2.5 works on every plan, including Free. The Free plan gives you 6 credits a month with no credit card and runs one image job at a time. Free exports carry a watermark. Any paid plan removes it, and everything you generate on a paid plan is yours to use commercially.
