Two GPT Image 2.5 modes, one clear workflow

Choose a mode by intent, then keep the same prompt and reference workflow while you explore ideas, refine details, and prepare assets for a product, social, or editorial brief.

Flare for fast exploration

GPT Image 2.5 Flare is the default selection for quickly exploring composition, subject, lighting, and art direction from a prompt or reference.

Sunburst for premium refinement

Switch to GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst when the direction is clear and you want a more considered refinement pass for the same creative brief.

Text-to-image when the brief is still open

Start with words when you are defining a new product scene, social concept, campaign frame, or editorial image from scratch.

Image-to-image when the reference matters

Upload a reference and describe the change when composition, subject identity, product details, or an existing visual language should guide the result.
