What is GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst AI image editor?
GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst is OpenAI's precision image model. Built for edits that have to land exactly. Attach a photo and describe the change. Sunburst changes what you name and keeps the face, the composition, and the light. Combine several references into one scene. Translate the text on a label. Write a prompt and generate an image with dense, readable type. Set the quality tier to match the job, from a quick draft to a max-detail final. Ask for a transparent background and get a clean cut-out. Available in Visual Sandbox alongside other advanced AI image models, so you can generate, edit, and iterate in a single place. A powerful choice for campaign creative, product imagery, infographics, UI mockups, and a character that has to hold across a series.

OpenAI shipped the two together in September 2026. Flare is the fast everyday model. Sunburst takes longer on each image and spends that time on precision. It keeps edits scoped to what you asked, and it holds quality across a long chain of edits to the same subject. A common workflow is to explore in Flare and finish in Sunburst. Pick Flare when you need a 4K frame, because Sunburst has no resolution control.
