What is GPT Image 2.5?

GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI’s image generation and editing model family. Use it in MiniMax Design’s AI image generator to create from text or references, refine images, and prepare visuals for design and video projects.

Create AI images from text and references

Generate AI images from a prompt or reference. Use Flare for fast creation, explore new styles and settings, and keep recognizable details from your source image as you develop a visual direction.

Edit images with simple instructions

Use Sunburst for detailed image editing. Change a background, color, material, or object, and specify what should stay the same. Refine one change at a time while keeping your subject and composition in focus.

Create realistic light and texture

Shape natural light, delicate shadows, and tactile detail in AI images. Explore translucent petals, soft skin tones, and knitted textures, then inspect close-ups to refine the look of portraits and product scenes.

Create images with transparent backgrounds

Create an isolated subject with Flare or Sunburst and export a transparent PNG or WebP. Reuse characters and product assets in new layouts, checking fine edges on light and dark backgrounds.

Turn sketches into realistic images

Upload a sketch and describe the scene you have in mind. Turn simple lines into realistic people, lighting, and detailed backgrounds while guiding GPT Image 2.5 to preserve your pose and composition.

Bring Your Sketch to Life

Turn your AI image into a moving story

Create and refine a source image with GPT Image 2.5, then use a supported video model in MiniMax Design for image-to-video generation. Define the camera movement and subject action to bring your scene to life.

GPT Image 2.5 Flare vs Sunburst

Both models generate and edit images. Use Flare for fast image generation and Sunburst for precision-focused refinements. Choose your model around the task; generation time depends on the request and settings.

Choose your image quality

Choose Low, Medium, High, Xhigh, or Max with either model. To compare settings, keep your prompt and reference unchanged, review the images at the same size, and check the generation cost before each run.

Low

Save an output with your prompt and reference so you have a baseline for comparing other settings.

Medium

Keep the same prompt and reference when comparing with Low. Review the actual difference in the output.

High

Inspect text, edges, and textures beside your earlier outputs. Judge the result at its intended display size.

Xhigh

Compare the same image regions against High. Check whether any visible change matters for your project.

Max

Compare with your preferred lower setting before choosing a final output. Review both detail and generation cost.

How to use GPT Image 2.5

Start with a prompt or reference, choose your model and quality, then refine and export your image.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst?

Both models generate and edit images. Flare prioritizes fast image generation and editing; Sunburst focuses on detailed refinements. Choose by your task and review the result against your brief.

Can GPT Image 2.5 edit an existing image?

Yes. Add a reference and describe the change you need. Specify what to preserve, such as the product shape, pose, or camera angle. Review the output before making another edit.

Can I turn a sketch into an AI image?

Yes. Upload your sketch as a reference and describe the finished look, such as a realistic photo or an illustration. Specify which shapes, subject details, and composition to preserve, then refine the result.

Does GPT Image 2.5 support transparent backgrounds?

Yes. Both models support transparency. Request a transparent background and select PNG or WebP. Check the exported file on different backgrounds; a drawn checkerboard is not an alpha channel.

Which quality settings can I choose?

Choose Low, Medium, High, Xhigh, or Max. Quality and image dimensions are separate settings. Start with a draft, then compare a higher-quality pass when fine detail matters.

Should I choose PNG, WebP, or JPEG?

Choose PNG or WebP for transparency. PNG is useful for design handoffs; WebP can suit web delivery. JPEG does not preserve transparency. Check the formats available in your export workflow.

How do I write a better GPT Image 2.5 prompt?

Name the subject, composition, lighting, and constraints. Example: “A skincare bottle, soft window light, cool blue background, room for a headline.” For edits, state what to change and what to keep.

Can I use GPT Image 2.5 for product photos and ads?

Yes. Explore product scenes, campaign visuals, and social graphics. Use references you are authorized to work with, and check packaging, logos, text, and product details before publishing.

How do I keep a subject consistent across edits?

Use a clear reference and specify what should stay the same, such as facial features, product shape, pose, or colors. Make one focused change at a time and compare each result with the reference before continuing.

Can GPT Image 2.5 create images with text?

Yes. Describe the poster, packaging concept, or social graphic you need. Provide the exact wording, text placement, and visual hierarchy. Check spelling and small text in the generated image before publishing.

Can GPT Image 2.5 generate video?

GPT Image 2.5 creates and edits still images. To animate a finished image, use a supported video model in MiniMax Design. Motion capabilities and settings depend on that video model.

Does a better source image help with image-to-video generation?

A clear source image helps establish the subject, lighting, and composition. It does not guarantee a better video: results also depend on the video model, motion prompt, and scene complexity.
