What GPT Image 2.6 Flare is good at

Speed-first tier

The recommended default in the 2.6 family when you want results quickly and plan to iterate.

Layouts that hold

Covers, grids and structured compositions follow placement instructions for production drafts.

Editing speed

Recolour, lighting shifts and object removal land quickly so you can try several directions in one sitting.

Up to eight references

Guide style, product or identity with multiple images while stating what each reference should control.

Clear quality tiers

Flare is the speed default; Sunburst is the detail-first sibling in the same from-25 credit band.

Aspect ratio control

Pick the frame before generating so the composition is built for that ratio instead of being cropped afterwards.

Why use GPT Image 2.6 Flare?

Flare is the speed-first tier of GPT Image 2.6, the newest GPT Image release. Use it as the default for layouts, focused edits and reference work with up to eight images, from 25 credits. When detail and edit consistency across several rounds matter more than turnaround, move the same brief to Sunburst at the same credit band.

How to write a GPT Image 2.6 Flare prompt

Keep the brief short, lock what must stay stable, and escalate to Sunburst when a pass needs more precision.

  1. Keep the brief short

    State the change, the subject and one style cue. Focused edit language works better than long essays.

  2. Say what must stay stable

    List identity, camera angle, layout and lighting that must not move — especially on recolour and object-removal jobs.

  3. Escalate to Sunburst when needed

    If materials smear or a grid drifts after a couple of Flare passes, move the same brief to Sunburst.

GPT Image 2.6 Flare FAQ

What people ask before their first image on GPT Image 2.6 Flare.

  1. What is GPT Image 2.6 Flare?

    Flare is the speed-first tier of GPT Image 2.6, the newest GPT Image release. It is the recommended default for fast iteration, layouts and edits.

  2. How much does one image cost?

    From 25 credits per image at 1K (50 at 2K, 85 at 4K), charged when the image is delivered. A generation that fails is not charged.

  3. When should I use Sunburst or GPT Image 2.5 instead?

    Use Sunburst (also from 25 credits) when detail and consistency across multi-turn edits matter more than speed. Use GPT Image 2.5 Flare (from 20 credits) or GPT Image 2 (from 10 credits) when you want a lower-cost GPT option.

  4. Is Flare better for edits or layouts?

    Both. It handles focused edits (recolour, lighting, removal) and structured layouts when you need a fast first draft.

  5. Do I need an OpenAI account or an API key?

    No. Choose GPT Image 2.6 Flare in the shared model picker and use the same account and credits as every other model.

  6. Can I batch images or use references?

    Each run returns one image. You can attach up to eight reference images to guide the edit or layout.
