About this model

## Overview GPT Image 2.5 Flare, from OpenAI, is the fast variant of the GPT Image 2.5 pair: text-to-image and image editing with legible in-image text. It suits work where you iterate quickly, such as layouts, product mock-ups, thumbnails and typographic experiments. Prompt alone to generate. Add reference images to edit or draw context from, and add a mask for surgical inpainting. ## What it does well - **In-image typography across scripts.** Quote the words you need and they are rendered into the image. - **Flexible sizing.** Twelve presets from 1024 by 1024 up to 3840 by 2160, plus an auto setting. - **Precise inpainting.** A PNG mask with an alpha channel regenerates the transparent areas and leaves everything opaque pixel-perfect. - **Transparent backgrounds,** with a choice of PNG, WebP or JPEG output. ## Prompting tips Lead with the subject, then the style and the lighting. Keep the quality on high when the image carries small type, and drop to low only for previews. Use PNG for crisp text, WebP when you want smaller files and JPEG for broad compatibility. When masking, the mask must match the reference image's dimensions, and a flat black-and-white mask with no alpha channel is rejected. ## Limits to know Each edge must be a multiple of 16, the aspect ratio must be between 1:3 and 3:1, the longest edge at most 3840 pixels and the total pixels between 655,360 and 8,294,400. This model is billed on the real cost of each run, so the price follows your size and quality and is quoted on the Run button before you spend. ## FAQ ### What is the difference between Flare and Sunburst? They share a schema and a feature set. Flare is the fast variant; Sunburst is described as the one for precisely editing and generating images. Try the same prompt on both and compare. ### Does it need a mask to edit? No. A reference image alone switches it to edit mode. The mask is for restricting the change to a region.
