GPT Image 2.5 (also called ChatGPT Images 2.5 or GPT 2.5) is OpenAI's latest image generation model, released September 8, 2026. It offers sharper detail, richer texture, precise single-element editing, multi-turn stability, up to 4K output, up to 16 reference images, and two new quality tiers - xhigh and max.

Yes. GPT Image 2.5 is available in Picsart's AI Playground and AI Image Generator. You can also use it through ChatGPT, Codex, and the OpenAI API.

GPT Image 2.5 brings sharper details, more natural lighting, richer textures, more precise single-element editing, steadier multi-turn edits, two new quality tiers (xhigh and max), and up to 50% faster generation - with a speed-optimized Flare variant and a precision-optimized Sunburst variant.

Up to 4K (maximum edge 3840px), aspect ratios from 1:3 to 3:1 with nine presets plus auto, exported as PNG or WebP including transparent backgrounds.

Yes. It supports precise single-element edits and steadier multi-turn editing that preserves earlier changes, and it accepts up to 16 reference images on an edit.

Flare is optimized for speed - two to four times the pace of GPT Image 2 - while Sunburst is optimized for precision. Both are part of the GPT Image 2.5 family.

Generate with GPT Image 2.5 in Picsart's AI Playground and AI Image Generator - on the web, in the desktop app, or built into your own projects via CLI, MCP, REST API, and SDK - and compare it against 170+ other models from a single prompt.
