Carry a Familiar Face into a New Look
A reference gives GPT Image 2.5 a specific starting point for an edit. This published example shows a change of clothing while the child remains recognizable against the blue portrait background. Use the same approach when you want a different look with continuity in the subject.
Refine Individual Details with GPT Image 2.5
Small adjustments can be harder than creating a new picture. GPT Image 2.5 is designed to follow targeted changes while retaining more of the surrounding image. This image-editing sequence compares revisions to a full-body portrait; it is a demonstration of still-image edits. On Shotyard, upload the image you want to revise and describe the next change.
Give Text and Illustration a Shared Structure
Describe the visual order as well as the subject. GPT Image 2.5 can combine a repeated layout, distinct scenes, and text within one composition. The national-park stamp example shows how a common illustration style can connect a set of different places. Specify the wording and arrangement in your own brief, then check the result before sharing.

Questions About GPT Image 2.5
What is GPT Image 2.5?
GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI's image generation and editing family released in September 2026. It creates images from written instructions and can use existing images as references for changes.
Should I choose Flare or Sunburst?
Flare is suited to everyday creation and quicker exploration. Sunburst focuses on more demanding visual work and editing precision, with longer generation times. Both are available in the model selector on this page.
How does GPT Image 2.5 differ from GPT Image 2?
OpenAI describes improvements in reference fidelity, lighting, textures, and control over edits. Flare also emphasizes faster generation. The best choice depends on your prompt and the details you need to preserve.
Can I edit an existing image?
Yes. Add the image as a reference and describe your intended change. You can upload up to 16 JPEG, PNG, or WebP images, with a limit of 20MB per image.
Which resolutions and aspect ratios can I select?
Both versions offer 1K, 2K, and 4K resolution on Shotyard. The 12 aspect ratios are 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, 27:16, 16:27, 9:8, and 8:9. Open the generator settings to choose them.
How is GPT Image 2.5 charged on Shotyard?
Generation uses your Shotyard credits. The generator displays the cost for your selected version and settings before you submit; check that amount when changing the resolution.
How can I get more accurate edits?
Identify the exact object or area to change, describe the desired result, and list the parts to keep. For another revision, use the latest result as your reference so the next request starts from that image.
What should I include in a detailed prompt?
State the subject, composition, lighting, and style. Add the exact wording and its position when the image includes text. The prompt field accepts up to 20,000 characters, so there is room for a structured brief.
