## GPT Image 2.6

The GPT Image 2.6 generator creates PNGs with Flare. Text-to-image starts at 1K Low (14 website credits). Choose 1K Medium (20), 1K High (30), 2K Medium (48) or 4K Medium (80).

Reference editing accepts one JPEG, PNG or WebP image up to 30 MB and returns a 1K Medium PNG for 32 website credits. Prompts can contain up to 32,000 characters. The GIF and vector examples are for inspiration; this generator does not export those formats. Sign in and review the displayed credit charge before submitting.

The page is available in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. For example: https://gpt-image.io/gpt-image-2-6 and https://gpt-image.io/zh/gpt-image-2-6.

## GPT Image 2.5

GPT Image 2.5 offers Flare for faster creative variations and Sunburst for higher image fidelity. Both support text-to-image and reference-image editing on this website. Select 1K, 2K, or 4K; website generation costs are 7, 24, and 36 credits respectively for either variant. These are website credits, not provider API prices. A transparent background is supported at 1K. The 27:16, 16:27, 9:8, and 8:9 aspect ratios are limited to 1K. Reference editing accepts 1–16 JPEG, PNG, or WEBP images, up to 30 MB per image.

### Choosing a variant

- Flare: explore compositions, product scenes, and quick creative variations.
- Sunburst: work on demanding compositions, detailed lettering, and reference edits where image fidelity matters.
- Compare generated details against your brief. Subject preservation and text spelling can require revisions or manual finishing.

The image workspace also offers GPT Image 2, GPT Image 1.5, Nano Banana Pro, and Nano Banana 2. Supported resolutions, reference limits, and credit costs vary. Select the model to see its current settings before submitting a request.

## Free AI Image

The Free AI Image channel is separate from the paid Flare and Sunburst selections. Eligible signed-in users have a limited daily allowance with queued generation at 0 website credits. After the allowance is used, a generation costs 5 credits. Skipping the queue while allowance remains is an alternative 5-credit option. Review the displayed balance and cost before submitting a request.

Generation allowance, queue status, and eligibility are shown in the workspace. Free-channel usage does not make paid Flare or Sunburst generation free.

## Prompt examples and editing workflow

The prompt gallery provides community examples with original source links. The GPT Image 2.5 page offers copyable templates for commercial posters, studio product photos, lifestyle product scenes, and exact-text typography. Replace bracketed details with your own subject and wording, select the matching aspect ratio, and compare the result against your brief.

For a reference edit, name the exact object, surface, or area to change. State which camera angle, layout, lettering, or product details should stay. For final marketing graphics, proofread every character and use a design editor when precise typography or layout is required.
