GPT Image 2.5 FAQ

Do I need to upload an image?
No. Describe the subject, scene and style to create a new image. Upload a reference when editing a photo or following an existing composition.
Should I choose Flare or Sunburst?
Choose Flare when latency and scale lead the decision. Choose Sunburst when final quality and precise control matter more than generation time. Test both on your own workload.
How many reference images can I upload?
Click the plus button to open the selected model’s workspace and upload references there. Follow the format, count and size limits shown in the workspace.
How do I use Sketch to image?
Use the plus button to upload your sketch in the workspace, or choose the sketch template, describe the style and click Create to carry your prompt into the workspace.
How should I prompt for text in an image?
Put the exact text in quotation marks and specify its language, position and visual hierarchy. Check spelling and layout afterward; edit text-heavy images in stages.
How can I refine an image while preserving it?
Use your preferred previous version as a reference. Change one thing at a time and name what must stay fixed. For example: “Make only the jacket black; keep the face, pose and background unchanged.”
Where does Create take me?
Create opens the selected model’s workspace in your current language with your prompt. Upload references and complete sign-in and generation there.
How many credits does an image cost?
Check the credits shown for your selected model and settings in the workspace. Compare subscriptions in the plans section on this page; plan allowances and per-generation costs are separate.
Is masked editing pixel-perfect?
No. OpenAI describes a mask as guidance rather than a strict pixel boundary. Tell the model what should change and what must stay fixed.
What are GPT Image 2.5's known limitations?
OpenAI says complex prompts can take up to about two minutes. Text placement and clarity can still fail, recurring characters or brand elements may drift, and position-sensitive layouts can be inaccurate. Review outputs before production use.
