Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about GPT Image 2.5 — Flare & Sunburst AI image models

GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's latest image model, released September 8, 2026. It features two variants — Flare (the fast default) and Sunburst (precision-first) — delivering dramatically lower latency, sharper details, and precise editing. New tools include the Sketch tool for drawing directly in ChatGPT, Templates, and comment-based editing.

Flare is the fast default model optimized for speed, delivering 2-4x throughput — ideal for marketing, e-commerce, and rapid prototyping. Sunburst is the precision-first premium model designed for tighter editing control on production-ready creative, campaign assets, and multi-turn refinement.

GPT Image 2.5 delivers dramatically lower latency compared to its predecessor. The Flare variant further accelerates batch workflows with 2-4x throughput, making it ideal for high-volume image generation across marketing and product catalogs.

GPT Image 2.5 supports resolutions up to 4K (3840×2160) with five quality tiers: low, medium, high, xhigh, and max. Transparent backgrounds with true alpha-channel transparency are available for product shots and design assets — no upscaling or post-processing needed.

The Sketch tool lets you draw directly inside ChatGPT. Sketch a rough layout, character pose, or composition idea and GPT Image 2.5 turns your drawing into a finished, production-quality image — combining freehand input with AI generation in a single step.

Yes. All images generated on a paid plan include full commercial usage rights — cleared for advertising, e-commerce, social media, and client projects. Every output ships with C2PA + SynthID provenance metadata for transparent AI content verification.
