WHAT CHANGED IN 2.5
What Image 2.5 does differently.
OpenAI published the ChatGPT Images 2.5 system card on 8 September 2026. The points below follow what it describes.
Edits that hold together
OpenAI reports more consistent results when editing: the setting, style or composition changes while more of the original detail survives.
Infographics that read correctly
The system card credits the 2.5 release with improved infographic accuracy and layout — the difference between a legible chart and a decorative one.
More ways to direct a render
Sketch-based generation, templates and shared prompts are listed as new Images 2.5 controls over the generation process.
Less waiting between tries
Faster generation is a stated goal of the release, so a brief can be created, reviewed and revised in fewer minutes.
Checked at both ends
OpenAI describes a layered safety stack: policy checks before generation, plus a monitor that reviews the input images and the finished picture.
Provenance that travels
C2PA metadata and Google DeepMind’s SynthID watermarking are applied to the output, so an AI-generated picture stays identifiable.
PICK YOUR PACE

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before you make your first Image 2.5 picture.
What is GPT Image 2.5?
GPT Image 2.5 — also written ChatGPT Image 2.5 — is OpenAI’s image model family, available here as Flare and Sunburst. This independent site provides a workspace for generating and editing pictures with these models.
Which model should I start with?
Start with Flare to explore everyday ideas. Try Sunburst when your brief needs more precision and you can allow a longer generation time. Review the output against your own requirements.
Can Image 2.5 edit a picture I already have?
Yes. Add a reference image in the generator and describe the change. Specify which features should remain, and use images you own or have permission to edit.
How many credits does an image cost?
Both Images 2.5 models use the same rates per image: 1K: 24 credits / 2K: 36 credits. Available sizes follow the selected model. Check the generator’s estimate before submitting.
Are these examples generated by this site?
The showcase uses ChatGPT Images 2.5 examples published by OpenAI, with attribution below. They illustrate what the model family can do; your results will depend on your prompt, references and settings.
Is ChatGPT Image 2.5 the same as GPT Image 2.5?
Yes. ChatGPT Image 2.5 and ChatGPT Images 2.5 are both used for OpenAI’s September 2026 release; the system card uses the plural. The two models it names are Flare and Sunburst, which is how they appear in the generator above.
