What Is GPT Image 2.5?
GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI’s newest image generation and editing model, reported to have launched in September 2026 as the successor to GPT Image 2. GPT Image 2.5 in ChatGPT shows up as one image model, which is why many people search for ChatGPT Image 2.5, while developers get two GPT Image 2.5 models in the API: GPT Image 2.5 Flare (often written gpt-image-2.5-flare), the faster choice for most prompts, and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst (gpt-image-2.5-sunburst), which takes a little longer but is more precise when you edit a photo.
Compared with GPT Image 2, the biggest steps forward are in editing and typography: faces and identity stay steadier when you change a background or outfit, and headlines, labels, and small print come out cleaner. On EzImgMaker you can use GPT Image 2.5 online without an API key or a ChatGPT plan. Write a prompt for text to image, or add up to four photos to edit, then choose 1K, 2K, or 4K.

How to Use GPT Image 2.5 Online
Three steps from idea to a downloadable image. Nothing to install.
Pick Flare or Sunburst
Choose GPT Image 2.5 Flare for quick everyday images and drafts, or Sunburst when you edit a photo and need the face, product, or layout to stay just as it is.
Write a Prompt or Add Photos
Describe the image and put any words that must appear in quotes. To edit, switch to Edit / reference images, upload up to four photos, and say what should change and what should stay.
Choose Ratio and Resolution, Then Generate
Pick Auto or one of eight aspect ratios from 1:1 to 21:9 and 1K, 2K, or 4K. The credit cost shows on the Generate button before you start. Download the result or refine it with a follow-up prompt.
What GPT Image 2.5 Does Best
GPT Image 2.5 Flare vs Sunburst
GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst vs Flare comes down to speed versus precision. Both versions take the same prompts, reference images, aspect ratios, and up to 4K output. Flare is tuned for speed, so it suits drafts, concept art, and posters you iterate on. Sunburst takes a little longer but follows edit instructions more closely and, in early reports, keeps faces more stable when you swap a background. Not sure which to pick? Start with Flare and switch to Sunburst for the final edit.
Photo Edits That Keep the Face
Upload a portrait and ask for a new background, light, or outfit. GPT Image 2.5 changes what you name and keeps the face, expression, and pose recognizable, which makes it a strong pick for profile photos, travel shots, and product edits. Choose Sunburst for the most faithful result. Drag to compare.
Posters With Sharp, Readable Text
Put the exact words in quotes and GPT Image 2.5 sets them as real typography: ticket stubs, poster titles, menus, and labels with clean spacing and fewer spelling slips than earlier models. It also handles dense layouts such as travel collages and event flyers.
Up to 4K and 9 Aspect Ratios
Generate at 1K for drafts, 2K for everyday use, or 4K for print and large screens, in Auto, 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, or 21:9. Fine detail, like the callouts on this character sheet, stays legible at the higher sizes.

GPT Image 2.5 FAQ
Common questions about OpenAI’s GPT Image 2.5, Flare, and Sunburst.
GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI’s latest model for text-to-image generation and image editing, offered in two versions, Flare and Sunburst. It takes a prompt plus up to 16 reference images and outputs images at 1K, 2K, or 4K. You may also see it written as gpt-image-2.5, GPT Image Gen 2.5, GPT 2.5 image generator, or ChatGPT Image 2.5.
Flare is the faster version and the default for most prompts. Sunburst is slower but more precise with edits, and it is reported to keep faces and identity more stable when you replace a background. Both take the same prompts, references, aspect ratios, and resolutions, so you can switch in the Version setting without rewriting anything.
GPT Image 2.5 is a paid model, but you can try it for free on EzImgMaker: new users get free credits when they sign up. After that, GPT Image 2.5 pricing here works in credits per image, and the exact cost for your settings is shown on the Generate button before you start.
Use the workspace at the top of this page: pick Flare or Sunburst, type a prompt or add photos to edit, choose an aspect ratio and resolution, and click Generate. There is nothing to install and no API setup, and it runs in any modern browser.
Yes. Switch to Edit / reference images, upload up to four photos (JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 20 MB each), and describe the change, such as a new background, outfit, or style, plus what must stay the same. Only upload photos you own or have permission to use, and do not use it to impersonate real people.
This workspace offers 1K, 2K, and 4K, so the GPT Image 2.5 max resolution is 4K, with Auto, 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, and 21:9. The model also has a few extra ratios that work at 1K only; the ones offered here work at every size. A GPT Image 2.5 transparent background option is not offered in this workspace.
No. EzImgMaker connects to GPT Image 2.5 for you, so you can generate without an OpenAI account, API key, or ChatGPT subscription. Developers who want the GPT Image 2.5 API inside their own app need their own provider account and GPT Image 2.5 API pricing.
The GPT Image 2.5 release date was reported as September 2026, about five months after GPT Image 2 arrived in April 2026. Is GPT Image 2.5 out? Yes, and you can use it on this page today.
GPT Image 2.5 keeps what made GPT Image 2 popular, such as dense text, layouts, up to 16 references, and 4K output, and splits into Flare and Sunburst. Early users report steadier faces in edits and cleaner small text. GPT Image 2 is still available on EzImgMaker and offers a transparent background option at 1K.
Many people use their results for posts, presentations, mockups, and personal projects. Whether a specific commercial use is allowed depends on what you create, what you upload, and the terms that apply to you, so check EzImgMaker’s terms and avoid real people, brand logos, and copyrighted characters.
