GPT Image 2.5 Flare questions

What is GPT Image 2.5 Flare?

GPT Image 2.5 Flare is the default, fast version of OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5 image model, tuned for natural lighting and rich textures. On PicX Studio it generates from text and edits with up to 16 reference images, at 1K, 2K or 4K.

What is the difference between Flare and Sunburst?

Flare is the fast default. Sunburst is the precision version: premium fidelity with a longer generation time. Settings and prices are the same, so you can switch per image.

How much does GPT Image 2.5 Flare cost?

53 credits per image at 1K or 2K, and 105 credits at 4K.

Can it make transparent PNGs?

Yes. Set Background to Transparent before you generate and you get a PNG with no background.

Which resolution should I pick?

On PicX, 1K maps to OpenAI's low quality setting, 2K to medium and 4K to high. 1K and 2K cost the same, so 2K is the default; 4K costs about twice as much and suits print or crops.

How do I get readable text in the image?

Put every word that must appear in quotation marks, exactly as it should be spelled, and say where it sits. Keep it short: a headline and one supporting line work better than a paragraph.

Can I try GPT Image 2.5 Flare for free?

Your first image is free after you sign up, no card needed, and you can run it on GPT Image 2.5 Flare. After that, images spend credits from a plan or a one-time credit pack. Credits never expire.
