What you can createwith GPT Image 2.5

Explore image quality, precise edits, consistent subjects, and creative layouts through four visual examples.

Illustrative concept

Bring out the finer details.

More natural light and richer textures give scenes depth. Shape the mood of a portrait, product shot, or sunlit street with a clear visual brief.

OriginalGPT Image 2.5

Change the outfit. Keep the scene.

Focused editing lets you transform one part of an image. Compare the dog’s new costume with the original photo while watching its face, pose, and surroundings.

Illustrative concept

A new look. A familiar face.

Reference images help preserve recognizable features across different looks. Explore a new outfit or setting, then refine the details around your subject.

Give complex ideas a clear form.

Bring text, color, and composition into one coordinated design. Guide a poster series with a shared palette and distinct layouts, then check the lettering and spacing.

Concept images illustrate use cases; they are not verified model outputs. Suggested prompts are starting points, not the original prompts.

Both are supported use cases. For text-to-image generation, describe the image you want. For an edit, start with a reference image and specify what should change, such as an outfit, background, or lighting, along with the details you want to preserve.

Which resolution should I choose: 1K, 2K, or 4K?

Choose based on where the image will appear. A 1K draft can help you compare ideas; 2K or 4K provides a larger output for your final layout. Resolution and quality are separate choices, and both affect credit consumption.

The main improvements are image fidelity, focused editing, and consistency across revisions. The comparison above shows how those changes build on 2.0.

How do I write a useful image prompt?

Start with the subject, then add the composition, style, lighting, and output format. For edits, name the change and the details to preserve. The suggested prompts above are starting points inspired by the pictured examples; they are not the original prompts and will not reproduce the images exactly.

Can I draw a sketch to use as a reference?

Yes. Open our GPT Image 2.5 Sketch tool to draw with brushes, shapes, and text. Download a PNG or use the drawing as a reference for image generation. Drawing and PNG export are free; AI generation requires signing in and uses account credits. This is our independent drawing tool, separate from Sketch in ChatGPT.
