gpt-image-2.5-flare

An image model for everyday visual creation and rapid iteration

GPT Image 2.5 Flare is an image generation and editing model focused on generation speed, suitable for turning creative briefs into advertising visuals, interface concepts, and product scene images. It can also adjust colors, backgrounds, and composition using reference images. It is better suited to creative workflows that explore directions first and then select and refine; Sunburst in the same series focuses on high fidelity and fine control, making it suitable for tasks with higher requirements for detail preservation.

Specifications and API features

Creation method
Text-to-image generation; editing reference images with text instructions
Reference image input
The editing endpoint accepts a single image URL or an array of up to 16 URLs
Number of images
Platform n is 1–10; only 1 image is supported when returning b64_json
Aspect ratio settings
auto or WIDTHxHEIGHT; the width and height of specified dimensions must be multiples of 16, with the long side not exceeding 3840
Common quality controls
auto is used by default; low, medium, and high are the quality options listed at the endpoint, used only when supported by the selected invocation variant, with no guarantee that each level produces different results
Image delivery
Output formats include png, jpeg, and webp; results can use url or b64_json
Task mode
Returns image results synchronously; supports asynchronous callbacks via callback_url

The quantities, dimensions, and formats above are invocation rules for this platform endpoint and do not represent the model's native specifications or guarantee the results of all parameter combinations.

Core Capabilities

Explore visual directions from creative briefs

Flare is suitable for organizing requirements for subjects, scenes, lighting, color palettes, and composition into comparable image concepts. When creating marketing assets, you can explore different backgrounds and visual styles around the same theme, first select the most suitable direction, then continue refining the chosen image instead of locking in a complex final version from the start.

Use reference images to describe editing goals

When editing, you can submit product photos or existing designs and clearly specify the subjects, angles, and layouts to retain, as well as the colors, environments, and backgrounds you want to change. Multiple reference images can be used to express different visual requirements, but the role of each image should be explained to avoid treating conflicting compositions or styles as simultaneous goals.

Connect image delivery within applications

Generation and editing each use dedicated image endpoints, and the output remains an image rather than an editable design project. Applications can receive image links or use Base64 image data; for longer-running tasks, asynchronous callbacks can separate task submission from asset ingestion, making subsequent review and delivery easier.

Use Cases

Visual alternatives for marketing campaigns

Enter the campaign theme, target audience, product features, and placement format to generate a set of poster or social media image alternatives. Use text to specify the subject position, background atmosphere, and copy whitespace separately, then select compositions suitable for placement. Before delivery, add accurate brand elements and verify that text in the image and the product appearance meet requirements.

Interface and landing page concepts

Enter the page objective, module order, brand colors, and desired interface style to create visual concepts for landing pages or app screens. It is suitable for discussing layout atmosphere, illustrations, and information hierarchy, while the deliverable is a concept image; component dimensions, interaction states, typography specifications, and functional pages still need to be completed during design and development.

Product scenes and storyboard sketches

Use product photos or scene descriptions as input to explore seasonal backgrounds, lighting, and promotional settings, and also create video opening frames and storyboard sketches. Prompts should describe the camera angle, subject position, and details that must be retained; after obtaining static images, pass them to subsequent design or video production workflows for continued use.

How to choose this model

Choose Flare for speed; compare Sunburst for detail

When the task involves everyday supporting visuals, creative proposals, and multi-round direction exploration, Flare's speed-oriented approach better aligns with the work objective. If you need to preserve product structure as much as possible, make fine adjustments to local content, or require greater consistency with reference images, compare GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. Use the same assets and instructions, and judge the trade-off by usable generated images rather than model names.

Distinguish series versions from public calling variants

GPT Image 2 is a related previous-generation model; its example results should not be directly regarded as Flare's results. gpt-image-2.5-flare and gpt-image-2.5-flare:official should also be used as different calling IDs. They share Flare's basic positioning, but parameters and billing must be configured separately; do not assume that all request syntax is exactly the same just by adding a suffix.

Get started

Decide between text-to-image or image editing

Provide prompt when generating; provide both image and editing instructions when editing. Clearly specify the original text, subject preservation requirements, and target aspect ratio.

Specify the model and parameter format

Use the image generation or image editing endpoint, and explicitly specify model=gpt-image-2.5-flare; use auto or WIDTHxHEIGHT for size, generate one image first, then evaluate. Set masks, quality, and file format according to this endpoint guide.

Check images and cost records

Read the URL or Base64 image according to the response format, save task_id asynchronously before querying the result; check text, reference details, and the alpha channel, and record usage according to the current Pricing rules.

Trial suggestion: advertising creative direction draft

Input and objective

Create three distinct visual directions for a portable coffee cup. Start by trying one: a bright orange background, the cup on the left, large text “Take a Break” on the right, and a lighthearted brand atmosphere.

Acceptance and next steps

Use a low-complexity brief to quickly compare visuals, then narrow down the directions; the settlement method for per-image calls and token-metered variants should be confirmed separately in Pricing.

Usage limitations

  • Speed-oriented does not mean every task can be completed immediately, nor does it mean a single generation is ready for publication. Complex layouts, dense text, and strict brand guidelines require item-by-item review; poster headlines, prices, labels, and logos in particular should receive final corrections in design tools.
  • Reference image editing is not lossless pixel replacement. When changing the background or colors, subject textures, edges, and details may also change; product structures that must be strictly preserved should be clearly specified in the prompt and compared against the original image item by item. If necessary, use a model focused more on fine-grained control.
  • Specified dimensions must also meet rules such as a total pixel count of 655,360–8,294,400 and an aspect ratio no greater than 3:1. Do not treat an aspect ratio string directly as the pixel value for size; meanwhile, b64_json supports only a single returned image, so batch results should use image links.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between Flare and Sunburst?

Flare focuses on generation speed and is suitable for everyday image creation, creative alternatives, and quick edits; Sunburst focuses on high fidelity and fine-grained control. If the task emphasizes product details, reference image consistency, or complex editing, compare Sunburst first; if the main goal is to explore visual directions, start with Flare.

How should I submit existing product photos?

Use /openai/images/edits, explicitly set model to gpt-image-2.5-flare, and submit a single image URL or an array of URLs through image. In the prompt, clearly describe what to preserve and what to change, for example, keep the product angle and outline while changing only the background and lighting.

Can I generate multiple images at once and return image data directly?

The range for n is 1–10, making it suitable for generating alternatives around the same brief. If response_format=b64_json is selected, only 1 image is supported; use the url return method when multiple images are needed. Batch generation still requires checking each result; do not assume all images meet the same detail requirements.

Can a basic Flare call directly reuse the mask example?

Do not reuse it directly. The mask workflow should use the gpt-image-2.5-flare:official endpoint that supports this method, and upload the original image and Alpha PNG mask together via multipart. For basic Flare reference image editing, first use text to clearly specify the edit area; do not mix the two calling methods.

How do I set an exact canvas size and receive long-task results?

When exact pixels are required, write size as WIDTHxHEIGHT and comply with the dimension limits; when you only want to express composition intent, use auto. Long tasks can include callback_url: first save the returned task_id, then receive the completed result; callback handling should deduplicate by task ID to avoid duplicate database entries.
