A little imagination. A whole new image.

Image 2.5 introduction

Image 2.5 is an independent workspace for generating and editing pictures with OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5 model family, offered as the Flare and Sunburst models. It renders from a prompt or reworks a reference image while keeping the subject intact, with legible poster and infographic text at 1K or 2K.

Image 2.5 overview

Image 2.5 is an independent site that provides a workspace for generating and editing pictures with OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5 (also called ChatGPT Image 2.5) model family. The generator supports text-to-image and reference editing, and offers two models: Flare, positioned as the faster default for everyday image generation and editing, and Sunburst, which prioritizes precision with longer generation times. Users describe an idea, choose a model, size and aspect ratio, optionally add a reference image, then create, review and refine. The site states that GPT Image 2.5 changes an image's setting, style or composition while the subject stays intact, with legible poster and infographic text at 1K or 2K, from up to eight reference images. According to the site, OpenAI published the ChatGPT Images 2.5 system card on 8 September 2026, describing more consistent edits, improved infographic accuracy and layout, new controls such as sketch-based generation, templates and shared prompts, faster generation, a layered safety stack with policy checks before generation and a monitor reviewing input images and finished pictures, and C2PA metadata plus Google DeepMind's SynthID watermarking on output. Both models use the same resolution-based credit rates: 24 credits at 1K and 36 credits at 2K.
