Generate and Edit Images with GPT Image 2.5
One model for the whole workflow: create from text, restyle photos with references, and produce clean on-image text—for social posts, ads, product visuals, and web content.
Text to Image
Describe the subject, scene, style, and composition you want. GPT Image 2.5 turns detailed prompts into polished images, with quality tiers from low up to the new xhigh and max levels.
Image to Image with References
Upload reference images and combine them in one generation: put your product into a new scene, transfer a style, or mix subjects from multiple photos into a single shot.
Photo Editing and Inpainting
Upload a photo and describe the change—a new background, a removed object, a different color. Mask a region and GPT Image 2.5 edits only that area while keeping the rest of the photo intact.
Crisp On-Image Text
Create posters, ads, labels, and UI mockups with readable, accurately spelled text—the GPT Image family renders words inside images far more reliably than typical image models.
Transparent Background Exports
Generate images with transparent backgrounds and export as PNG or WebP—ready for product shots, thumbnails, stickers, and design layers.
Why Use GPT Image 2.5 on AI Effect
OpenAI's latest image model on a flexible generation workflow—free trial credits, pay as you go, no subscription.
OpenAI's Latest Image Model
GPT Image 2.5 is the successor to GPT Image 2, released by OpenAI in September 2026. It is their most capable model for both image generation and image editing.
Built for Precise Editing
The flagship GPT Image 2.5 variant is tuned for workflows where editing precision matters most—masked edits keep surrounding pixels intact while only the selected region changes.
Sizes Up to 4K
Choose square (1024×1024), landscape (1536×1024), portrait (1024×1536), or let the model pick automatically. Custom dimensions are supported too, with total pixels up to 4K.
New xhigh and max Quality Tiers
Beyond the low/medium/high levels of earlier GPT Image models, GPT Image 2.5 adds xhigh and max quality for extra detail on posters, print, and close-up product shots.
Multiple References in One Prompt
Combine several reference images in a single generation to keep subjects, styles, and layouts consistent across your visuals.
No Subscription, Pay As You Go
Buy credits only when you generate. No monthly plan, no long-term commitment.
How to Use GPT Image 2.5 on AI Effect
Describe Your Image or Upload a Photo
Write a prompt covering the subject, scene, style, and any text you want inside the image—or upload the photo or references you want to work with.
Pick a Size and Generate
Choose square, portrait, or landscape output (or let the model decide), then start the generation. Detailed prompts may take up to a couple of minutes.
Review and Download
Check the result, refine your prompt or references if needed, and download the final image as PNG for social media, ads, or your site.
FAQ
GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's latest AI image model, released on September 8, 2026 as the successor to GPT Image 2. It generates images from text and edits existing photos, and it is OpenAI's most capable model for both generation and editing.
OpenAI ships GPT Image 2.5 in two variants: Sunburst, the flagship tuned for maximum quality and precise editing, and Flare, the faster option for high-quality everyday image generation. Both support text-to-image and image editing with the same quality tiers and sizes.
GPT Image 2.5 adds new xhigh and max quality tiers (earlier GPT Image models top out at high), custom output dimensions with total pixels up to 4K, and stronger editing precision. API pricing stays the same as GPT Image 2.
