Control

Precise creative control

Pick the quality tier that fits the job. Low costs the fewest credits and is ideal for exploring; medium and high add detail when a result is worth it; xhigh and max exist for final art. You choose per generation, so you never overpay for a draft.

01

Quality you choose

Five tiers from low to max, priced per image so drafts stay cheap.

02

Edits that stay put

Only the instruction changes; the rest of the frame holds.

03

Transparent backgrounds

Ask for transparency and get a usable cut-out, not a matte.

Why GPT Images 2.5

Two model families, one studio

GPT Images 2.5 in both Flare and Sunburst variants, plus GPT Image 2 when you want the cheaper ceiling.

Flare

Fast, natural, well-lit

The default for most work: quick generation with natural lighting, rich textures, and support for complex layouts including transparent backgrounds.

Sunburst

Precision for premium work

Built for extra fidelity on intricate detail, in exchange for longer generation times. Reach for it when the detail is the point.

Editing

Edits scoped to the instruction

Change only what's asked, keeping subject, composition, and background intact — with reference subjects staying recognizable across styles and successive edits.

Model comparison

GPT Images 2.5 vs GPT Image 2

Two model families, one studio. GPT Images 2.5 is the default; GPT Image 2 is kept for its mask-inpainting workflow and classic model behavior. Prices are credits per image at 1K, square.

GPT Images 2.5

NEW

OpenAI's current generation, in two variants. Flare is the fast default with natural lighting and rich textures; Sunburst spends longer to gain fidelity on intricate detail. Editing is instruction-scoped — describe the change and the model applies exactly that.

GPT Image 2

Previous

The previous generation, one variant. Its ceiling stops at high quality — no xhigh or max tier — and every shared quality tier costs more credits. It stays available for the mask-based inpainting and retouching workflow.

Which should I pick? GPT Images 2.5 — at every shared quality tier it costs fewer credits and it adds the xhigh and max tiers on top. Choose GPT Image 2 only when you specifically need its mask-inpainting workflow or prefer the previous generation’s output.

How it works

Create in three simple steps

From a single line of text to a finished image — no design experience required.

01

Describe your vision

Write your idea in natural language — subject, mood, lens feel, and detail.

02

Pick a model and quality

Flare for speed, Sunburst for detail. Low quality uses fewer credits; raise it when the result matters.

03

Download or edit

Export the image, or send it straight back in as a reference for the next edit.
