GPT Image 2.5
Text that reads and faces that hold, in a fast lane and a fine one.
GPT Image 2.5 is the model to reach for when the picture has words in it, or when the same face, product or logo has to survive many variations. It runs in two lanes: Flare returns quickly for exploration, Sunburst takes longer for cleaner detail and steadier type. Both read up to 16 reference images, take prompts up to 20,000 characters and render at 1K, 2K or 4K.
Best for
- Headlines, price tags, packaging copy and slide text
- Product photography built from your real product
- One face held across a whole campaign
- Carousels and decks that need one visual system
Strengths
- Strong typography: quoted words come back as written
- Up to 16 reference images in a single edit
- All 13 ratio options at every resolution, squares at 4K included
- Attaching a reference switches to editing on its own, no mode to set
Limits
- 4:5 is not available in either lane.
- A seventeenth reference image is rejected.
- Sunburst takes longer to return than Flare.
Practical tips
- 01
Quote the exact words and add a line saying they must read exactly as written.
- 02
Explore on Flare, then render the final on Sunburst.
- 03
Use 1K while iterating, 2K for screens and 4K for print.
- 04
Put the product, face, logo and style board in one request so the output matches your brand.
