GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst

OpenAI's September 2026 model for precise edits

Try GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst is the editing-focused version of OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5, released in September 2026. It generates images too, but its strength is making exact changes to an existing photo.

Upload a photo, describe what should change, and leave the rest alone. For new images from scratch, GPT Image 2.5 Flare is usually faster.

Sample images

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst: A photo of a white ceramic coffee mug on a wooden cafe table next to a rain-streaked window, soft morning light. The mug is printed with the words "Good Morning" in black hand-lettered script.

Realistic portrait
GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst: A flat vector travel poster of Lisbon: a yellow tram climbing a steep cobbled street, terracotta rooftops and the river behind. Bold headline at the top reading "LISBOA".
