What You Can Make with GPT Image 2.6
One model for still images, vector graphics, and short animations: generate from text, edit with references, and export in the format you need.
Text to Image
Describe the subject, scene, style, and layout you want. GPT Image 2.6 turns detailed prompts into polished images in square, portrait, landscape, or ultra-wide 21:9 frames.
Edit with Up to 16 References
Upload photos and describe the change: put your product into a new scene, swap a background, match a style, or combine people and objects from several images into one shot.
SVG Vector Graphics
Generate icons, logos, and flat illustrations as SVG files that stay sharp at any size and can be edited in Figma, Illustrator, or a code editor.
Animated GIFs
Describe a short motion, like a waving mascot or a blinking logo, and get a looping GIF that is ready for chats, stickers, and social posts.
Clear Text in Images
Make posters, ads, menus, labels, and UI mockups with readable text. The GPT Image family is known for placing and spelling words inside images reliably.
