GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst AI Image Generator
Choose GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst when the brief needs precision-oriented GPT Image 2.5 generation or editing and the output tier, frame, and reference set should be selected before submission.
GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst task directions
These local references help turn the current GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst input and control contract into a concrete task direction. They are not presented as output from this model.
Every card identifies whether it is a verified model-family example or a visual reference. Reference cards are not model benchmarks or before-and-after claims.
- Input contract

When to choose GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst
Precision-focused GPT Image 2.5 generation and editing with 1K, 2K, or 4K output and up to 16 references.
Current workflow fit
Choose GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst when the brief needs precision-oriented GPT Image 2.5 generation or editing and the output tier, frame, and reference set should be selected before submission.
When to compare another model
The four extra wide or tall ratios (27:16, 16:27, 9:8, and 8:9) are 1K-only in the KIE contract. Choose another frame or 1K before selecting 2K or 4K.
How to create an image with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst
Choose the output tier and frame first, then write the visual brief and add only the reference images that materially guide the result.
- 1
Lock the delivery constraints first
Select the resolution and aspect ratio that match the placement, then write the subject, composition, text, and edit instructions before adding authorized references.
- 2
Add references when needed
Upload approved reference images only when a defined visual starting point will help the result.
- 3
Choose output controls
Choose the result that fits the job from the current 1K / 2K / 4K options and 13 aspect-ratio choices; 2K: 9, 4K: 9.
- 4
Generate and review
Before public use, inspect visible text, product details, people, marks, and framing in the result.
Checks before you create and publish
- Treat the workspace as current
- Model availability and settings can change. Use the options shown in the current workspace before you submit.
- Use approved source material
- When you upload a reference image, confirm that you are allowed to use and publish it for the current project.
- Review the generated result
- Manually check any visible text, product information, and brand element that must be accurate before publishing.
GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst FAQ
- What is the difference between GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst and the other variant?
- Both variants use the same current ImageStyle controls and KIE input contract. Sunburst is presented as the precision-oriented choice; compare the two in the model selector for your workflow.
- Can GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst use 2K or 4K with every aspect ratio?
- No. The 27:16, 16:27, 9:8, and 8:9 ratios are limited to 1K by the current KIE contract. Use another ratio for 2K or 4K.
- Can I use reference images with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst?
- Yes. The current workflow supports up to 16 reference images. Only upload images you are allowed to use.
- What output settings does GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst currently offer?
- Current output tiers are 1K / 2K / 4K, with 13 aspect-ratio choices; 2K: 9, 4K: 9. The generation workspace is the source of truth for the options available at submission.
- What should I prepare before using GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst?
- Prepare a clear visual direction. If the current model supports reference images, add approved images only when they help preserve a visual starting point.
- Can I publish a generated result without review?
- No. Before public use, manually review text, product details, people, marks, and any other element that must be accurate.
