What Is GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst?

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst is the precision-oriented tier of the 2.5 series. It is the model to reach for when only one thing should change: swap the product on a layout, re-light a scene, replace a label — and everything you did not ask about stays where it was.

Generation takes a little longer than Flare, and the price is the same: 1 credit at low, 2 at medium, 6 at high. Ratios are 1:1, 3:4 and 16:9, and up to 16 reference images can be attached to pin down the parts that must not move.

Precision edits

The tier is tuned to change what you name and keep the rest.

Same price as Flare

1 / 2 / 6 credits — precision costs time, not credits.

16 reference images

Pin down the layout, the product and the light in one request.

Why Use 2.5 Sunburst Instead of Flare?

Flare is faster. Sunburst is steadier. When the brief is "take this image and change one thing", the failure you care about is the model quietly redesigning the things you did not mention — a different logo, a shifted grid, new type. Sunburst is the tier that keeps those fixed.

That makes it the right model for retouching marketing assets, localising a layout, or producing variants of an existing frame where consistency matters more than the last few seconds of wait.

Change one thing

Edits stay local instead of re-interpreting the whole frame.

Layout discipline

Grids, margins and alignment survive an edit.

No price premium

Same 1 / 2 / 6 credits as Flare.

How to Edit With GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst

Upload the frame, describe the single change, keep the rest locked.
1

Upload the original

Attach the image you want to change — plus references for anything that must stay identical.
2

Name the change, then the invariants

Say what should change, and explicitly say what must not: layout, colours, type, the subject's face.
3

Check the diff

Compare before and after. If something drifted, re-run with the invariant spelled out more strongly.
