OPENAI'S IMAGE MODEL GPT 2.5 FLARE
GPT Image 2.5 (ChatGPT Images 2.5): OpenAI's sharper, more precise image model
GPT Image 2.5 - also called ChatGPT Images 2.5, or GPT 2.5 - is OpenAI's latest image generation model, released in September 2026. It brings sharper detail, richer texture, and far more precise editing than Images 2.0, with up to 4K output, up to 16 reference images, and new xhigh and max quality tiers. Now available in Picsart's AI Playground and AI Image Generator - start with the speed-tuned GPT Image 2.5 Flare variant.
- Sharper details and textures
- Precise edits that stay consistent
- Keep reference subjects recognizable

SHARPER OUTPUT
Sharper detail, more natural light
GPT Image 2.5 Flare renders sharper details, more natural lighting, and richer textures than Images 2.0. Subjects from reference photos are preserved more faithfully, and images stay clear and realistic even after multiple rounds of retouching. Infographic accuracy and layout improved measurably - though very dense small text can still take more than one attempt.
PRECISION EDITING
Precise, multi-turn editing that holds
Editing is where GPT 2.5 makes its biggest leap. Change a single element - a product, a background, a line of text - and the rest of the frame holds. Multi-turn stability means earlier edits survive later ones instead of the image degrading over a long conversation, so you can refine step by step with confidence. It accepts up to 16 reference images on an edit to steer the result.
FASTER GENERATION
Two variants: Flare and Sunburst
GPT 2.5 comes in two variants: Flare, tuned for speed at two to four times the pace of GPT Image 2, and Sunburst, tuned for precision - on this page, Start generating opens Flare, and you can switch to Sunburst anytime in the AI Playground. Overall, generation latency is up to 50% lower than Images 2.0 - and sketch-based generation, templates, and shared prompts give you more control over how each image comes together.
BUILT ON GPT IMAGE 2
GPT Image 2.5: the next step for OpenAI images
GPT Image 2.5 (GPT 2.5) is OpenAI's successor to GPT Image 2, keeping its ~99% text accuracy and photorealism while adding sharper detail, precise multi-turn editing, up to 4K, and the new xhigh and max quality tiers. It's available in Picsart's AI Playground and AI Image Generator - reachable on the web, in the Picsart desktop app, or via CLI, MCP, REST API, and SDK.
