GPT IMAGE 2.5 API

High-fidelity image generation, precision editing, and consistent creative revisions

GPT Image 2.5 API: High-Fidelity Image Generation and Editing

GPT Image 2.5 turns text prompts and reference images into product photos, campaign visuals, portraits, and design assets. Its image-to-image editing preserves recognizable subjects, refines selected elements, and maintains detail across successive revisions.

Flare focuses on fast text-to-image generation and everyday creative iteration. Sunburst focuses on precise image editing and detailed production assets. Explore both versions and compare their capabilities with GPT Image 2 on PoYo.

GPT Image 2.5 API Models: Flare and Sunburst

01

GPT Image 2.5 Flare

Flare is OpenAI's default choice for everyday image applications. It accepts text and image inputs and supports image generation, editing, and inpainting. Its focus is fast iteration for social content, product experiences, image prototypes, and high-volume creative workflows.

02

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst

Sunburst is OpenAI's most capable image generation and editing model. It accepts text and image inputs and supports inpainting. Choose it for detailed campaign assets, polished product imagery, and editing workflows that prioritize precision over generation speed.

Core Features of GPT Image 2.5 API

Text-to-image generation, reference image fidelity, inpainting, and multi-turn editing for product imagery and creative assets.

01

GPT Image 2.5 API for High-Fidelity Reference Images and Subject Consistency

GPT Image 2.5 API uses reference images and text instructions to create new scenes while preserving recognizable people, products, and visual identities. High-fidelity image-to-image generation retains defining facial traits and product details as the background, lighting, or artistic style changes. Build portrait variations, e-commerce product photos, and branded creative assets around the same source image.

  • Use reference images for image-to-image generation
  • Preserve subject identity, facial traits, and product details
  • Create product photos and portraits in new settings
The same woman by an apartment window, on an old street, and beside coastal cliffs, retaining her facial features and linen shirt

02

GPT Image 2.5 API for Precise Image Editing and Inpainting

GPT Image 2.5 API supports precise image editing and inpainting for changes to selected parts of an existing image. Provide the source image and describe the product, background element, or copy to update. The model follows the localized edit while preserving surrounding composition and visual treatment, supporting product retouching, campaign revisions, and targeted background changes.

  • Edit selected products, background elements, or copy
  • Use inpainting for focused image revisions
  • Preserve surrounding composition and brand treatment
Before and after a wooden station bench is replaced with travertine while the arched windows and ironwork remain in place

03

GPT Image 2.5 API for Consistent Multi-Turn Image Editing

GPT Image 2.5 API improves multi-turn image editing by maintaining earlier changes and image detail through successive revisions. Start with a generated image or reference photo, then adjust the background, objects, and composition in separate steps. Using each result as the next reference keeps creative feedback specific and supports subject consistency across the full editing workflow.

  • Use each output as the next editing reference
  • Retain previous revisions and recognizable subject details
  • Refine backgrounds, objects, and composition in steps
A reading corner across three revisions: ivory curtains, terracotta curtains, then an added brass floor lamp

04

GPT Image 2.5 API for Complex Layouts and Transparent Backgrounds

GPT Image 2.5 API follows detailed visual instructions for structured layouts, artistic styles, and transparent backgrounds. Specify the subject placement, visual hierarchy, requested text, and background treatment in the prompt. Use text-to-image generation to create presentation graphics, poster concepts, and compositing assets, then apply image editing to refine individual elements within the chosen layout.

  • Specify subject placement, hierarchy, and requested text
  • Generate transparent backgrounds for compositing assets
  • Apply a consistent artistic style across visual layouts
Intricate hand-painted nautilus shell, sea fan, lionfish, seahorse and coral arranged on a transparent background

05

GPT Image 2.5 Flare API for Faster Text-to-Image Generation

GPT Image 2.5 Flare API focuses on fast text-to-image generation for everyday creative workflows. OpenAI reports 50% lower generation latency than GPT Image 2 alongside image-quality improvements. Use Flare to explore campaign concepts, social graphics, and product variations in repeated generation cycles. Sunburst serves precision-focused editing and detailed creative production with longer generation times.

  • Generate image concepts quickly with Flare
  • Iterate on campaign, social, and product visuals
  • Choose Sunburst for precision-focused creative production

What Can You Create With the GPT Image 2.5 API

01

E-Commerce Teams

Use GPT Image 2.5 with product reference photos to create new backgrounds, seasonal compositions, and listing visuals. Targeted edits let teams revise a scene while retaining the product's defining details.

02

Marketing and Advertising Teams

Develop campaign concepts with Flare, then use Sunburst for detailed image revisions. GPT Image 2.5 supports variations in composition, background, and visual treatment around a consistent creative brief.

03

Social Content Creators

Create reference-led portraits, promotional graphics, and themed posts with GPT Image 2.5. Use Flare to explore ideas quickly and make focused changes to the selected image without restarting the composition.

04

Design Teams

Translate layout instructions, artistic direction, and reference assets into image concepts with GPT Image 2.5. Successive edits support review cycles that adjust individual elements while retaining earlier design decisions.

05

Education and Publishing Teams

Create illustrations, presentation graphics, and teaching visuals from a structured brief. GPT Image 2.5 supports specific compositions and styles; editors can revise individual elements and review factual details and text before publication.

06

Image Application Developers

Design image workflows around text prompts, reference inputs, generation, and localized editing. GPT Image 2.5 provides Flare for everyday iteration and Sunburst for applications where detailed editing is the primary requirement.

GPT Image 2.5 vs GPT Image 2: Image Generation and Editing Comparison

GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 both generate and edit images from text and image inputs. GPT Image 2.5 builds on that workflow with improved reference fidelity, more precise editing, stronger consistency across revisions, and faster generation through Flare.
