GPT Image 2.5 Is Two Models, Not One

GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's image model, launched on 8 September 2026 in two editions. Flare is the fast default for natural light and rich texture; Sunburst takes longer and returns finer detail with strict control over what an edit changes. Phevo runs both under their real names.

One Subject, Up to 16 References

A single GPT Image 2.5 edit accepts up to 16 reference images and keeps the subject recognizable across them. The same face, product or jacket survives a change of style and several revisions — where earlier releases quietly drifted.

Type That Holds Together

Lettering is where most image models come apart. GPT Image 2.5 keeps a short line of type legible and holds a layout together — a menu board, a product label, a poster headline. Proof the spelling before print.

Change One Thing, Keep the Rest

GPT Image 2.5 is better at scoped edits: say what must stay, then name the one thing to change. Subject, lighting and composition stay recognizable across passes, but complex edits still deserve a final check.

Choose the Detail Level

Choose Standard, High or Very high quality for GPT Image 2.5. Higher quality changes the detail setting and credit cost, while the aspect ratio selects the image-size preset. Check the downloaded dimensions before using the image at a fixed size.

What People Run Through GPT Image 2.5

Example result for marketplace sellers

Marketplace sellers

A product on a cluttered table sells worse than on a clean studio backdrop. Sellers swap the background and keep the product and its shadow untouched.
Example result for website builders

Website builders

Describe a scene for your landing-page hero, generate it with GPT Image 2.5, and inspect the downloaded dimensions and detail before adding it to your website.
Example result for comic and storyboard artists

Comic and storyboard artists

Storyboards fall apart when a face shifts by panel three. Start with a cast sheet, repeat the details that must stay, and run panels in sequence.
Example result for small-shop owners

Small-shop owners

Menu boards and shelf labels must read clearly. GPT Image 2.5 renders short lines of text reliably, letting shop owners proof the lettering before printing signs.
Example result for video creators

Video creators

Creators can generate thumbnail variations with GPT Image 2.5, starting at 6 credits per image at Standard quality. Review the cost on the button, then compare the results before choosing a thumbnail.

Why Choose GPT Image 2.5

OpenAI's current image model

Released on 8 September 2026, GPT Image 2.5 supersedes GPT Image 2 as the model OpenAI points most image work at.

From 6 Credits per Run

In Phevo, Flare and Sunburst each cost 6 credits at Standard quality, 9 at High and 12 at Very high. GPT Image 2 starts at 12 credits. Compare the price shown for your chosen settings before running.

Natural light and dense texture

Flare is tuned for believable light and surface detail rather than the flat look that gives a render away. Fabric, skin and worn materials keep their grain.

A precision tier when it matters

Sunburst trades generation time for fidelity on intricate detail. Most jobs never need it — but when one does, it is a switch inside GPT Image 2.5, not a different service.

Photoreal through to stylised

GPT Image 2.5 covers documentary-style photography, lettering-led design and illustrated styles, so a project mixing all three stays coherent in one tool.

Provenance travels with the file

Every GPT Image output carries an invisible SynthID marker and C2PA metadata, API traffic included. Worth knowing before the file goes somewhere that checks.
