GPT Image 2.5: Generate and Edit with Flare or Sunburst
No credit card required · 10 free credits to start
What is GPT Image 2.5?
ChatGPT Images 2.5 is faster and better at edits than Images 2.0. ChatGPT does not let you pick Flare or Sunburst. The API bills in tokens. Motionarti puts both models in one studio: text to image, precise edits, up to 4K, no code.
What GPT Image 2.5 does well
Speed
OpenAI states up to 50% lower generation latency vs Images 2.0. That is the main reason to switch for volume work.
Lighting, texture, subject lock, multi-turn edits
The useful change is control. Change a jacket color and keep the face. Swap a background and keep the bottle. Run a second and third edit without the whole frame drifting.
Text to image
Write the shot. Set ratio (1:3 to 3:1). Set quality. Generate. Keep the prompt and iterate.
Sketch, references, transparency, 4K
References: up to 16 images Transparency: native alpha when you ask for it Resolution: up to 4K / 3840px Sketch and comment tools live in ChatGPT. Motionarti covers generate, edit, and export in one studio.
Where GPT Image 2.5 shines
Paid ads and social stills
Run many crops (1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 1:3–3:1) from one brief. Flare for first rounds. Sunburst for the winner. Keep type, product, and face locked while you swap background or headline.
Ecommerce and catalog
Same SKU, new colorway, same bottle. That is the edit story: change the jacket, keep the face; change the label, keep the pack. Native transparency for PDPs and marketplaces. Up to 4K / 3840px for zoom.
Product photography without a reshoot
Reference up to 16 photos. Relight, restage, or drop a studio floor. Use Sunburst when the brand lock matters. Use Flare when you need 20 variants before the shoot date.
Thumbnails, covers, and YouTube/blog art
Volume work. Flare, low or medium quality, 1024-class sizes. Cost stays small because you pay size × quality, not the model name. Promote to xhigh or max only for the cover you publish.
Print and outdoor (when 4K is the point)
Max quality, large canvas, Sunburst. Check faces, logos, and edges before you spend the extra tokens. Motionarti credits map to that, not a fake flat OpenAI fee.
