How to use GPT Image 2.5 Flare
This page runs at medium quality with 1K, 2K and 4K output and a choice of aspect ratios, returning one PNG per run. Text-to-image costs 23, 39 or 69 credits by resolution; image editing costs 33, 49 or 79.
- 01
Pick a mode
Text-to-image starts from a description. Image editing needs one reference upload.
- 02
Describe the direction
A sentence is enough to start. Run it, look at what came back, then adjust one thing at a time.
- 03
Set it up and generate
Choose the aspect ratio and resolution; the credit cost updates as you do. The result stays in your history.
Made for getting to the next version quickly
GPT Image 2.5 Flare is the variant to reach for while you are still deciding what the image should be.

Headlines and short copy come through legibly, which most fast models still get wrong.
Variations from a reference

Where this model earns its keep
Social content
Posts and stories that need a fresh visual this afternoon, not next week.
Product scene variations
The same item in several settings, so the campaign has options to choose between.
Creative exploration
Putting a rough idea on screen quickly enough that the team can react to it.
Common questions
Yes. Switch to editing mode and upload one reference; describe only what should change.
Square, portrait and landscape, so one prompt can cover several placements.
One PNG per run, so the credit cost on screen is what the run actually costs.
Flare is the fast, cheaper variant, best while you are still exploring. Sunburst costs the same per resolution tier but is tuned for precision — text accuracy, material detail and careful edits.
