What is Image 2.5?

GPT Image 2.5 is an AI image generator and editor that converts text prompts, sketches, or reference images into production-ready visuals. It provides two model modes—Sunburst for precision editing and Flare for faster generation—plus adjustable quality and output controls.

The workflow supports multi-turn refinement and reference-guided edits to preserve key details and maintain consistency across frames or campaign assets. Editing tools include targeted masking, color and material adjustments, and layout/infographic controls, with improved text rendering for clearer copy.

Partial previews and iterative comparisons enable in-place refinement without rebuilding the whole image. Outputs can be exported for integration into design and production workflows.
