Image 2.6
Image 2.6 turns a prompt or a reference photo into a finished picture about 50% faster, and holds characters, products and brand marks steady across every editing round. It also exports clean SVG and seamless looping GIF frames.
What Is Image 2.6?
Image 2.6 is the image model OpenAI shipped to ChatGPT, Codex and the API at the same time, built around one promise: faster rounds and steadier results. Picture the workflow it replaces — a prompt, a first draft, a correction, another draft, each pass drifting a little further from the original character, product or brand mark. This release breaks that drift. It generates roughly 50% faster than the model before it, and on medium or high quality settings it keeps faces, packaging, logos and typography locked to the reference from the first edit to the tenth. Two variants share the name: Flare returns a usable frame in about six seconds when quality is set to low, which suits drafts, layouts and quick look-dev; Sunburst takes medium or high quality and pays that time back in fidelity and cross-edit consistency. Beyond raw speed, it adds a looping GIF mode that turns a single picture into seamless motion for mascots, stickers and pre-viz storyboards, hands the markup brush to API builders so one region can be targeted precisely instead of redrawing the whole frame, exports SVG for websites, apps and print, and exposes a complexity dial that decides how much planning the model spends on a crowded scene. Start on the free tier, compare a Flare draft with a Sunburst finish, and keep whichever one earns its place in the campaign.
- About 50% Faster RoundsImage 2.6 returns a draft in a fraction of the time the previous model needed, so a look can be tested, rejected and replaced inside one sitting. On the API, Flare reaches a usable frame in roughly six seconds at low quality, which is fast enough to keep a whole campaign moving.
- Consistent Characters and ProductsEvery edit in Image 2.6 is anchored to the reference image, so a face, a label or a logo does not quietly change between passes. Sunburst at medium or high quality holds those details most firmly, which matters once a picture has to survive ten rounds of feedback.
- GIF Motion, Markup and SVGImage 2.6 turns a still into a seamless looping GIF, targets one region with image markup instead of redrawing the frame, and exports SVG that stays sharp on a website, in an app or on a printed poster. A complexity setting decides how much planning a busy scene receives.
How to Use Image 2.6
Image 2.6 takes three moves: describe or upload the source, choose how much speed and quality the job deserves, then refine only the part that is wrong. There is nothing to install, and the first picture usually lands in under a minute.
Why Teams Reach for Image 2.6
Image work rarely fails on the first frame; it fails on the fifth, when the character has drifted, the logo has changed weight and the palette has quietly moved. The model is aimed squarely at that problem. It pairs a faster generator with an editing loop that stays anchored to the reference, adds motion and vector export to the same session, and leaves the amount of planning under your control — so a picture can be explored fast and finished precisely.
Campaign Visuals Without the Wait
Marketing teams use Image 2.6 to move from brief to key visual in a single pass. Flare produces a layout worth reviewing in seconds, and the same prompt can be rerun at higher quality once the direction is agreed, which keeps review cycles short instead of stretching them across a week.
Product Shots That Stay On Brand
Packaging, colour and typography hold their shape across edits in Image 2.6, so a catalogue of product images can be reworked for a new season without the range drifting apart. Sunburst at medium or high quality is the setting that keeps labels and logos closest to the original.
Characters for Motion and Games
A single frame becomes a looping GIF in Image 2.6, which covers mascots for a launch, animated stickers for chat, and quick motion studies before a full video is commissioned. A hand-drawn sketch can be turned into a lively character without a rigging pass.
Precise Edits, Not Full Redraws
Image markup is available to API builders in Image 2.6, so one object, one face or one label can be corrected while the rest of the composition stays untouched. That turns a feedback note into a small targeted change rather than a fresh generation.
Vector Output for Real Production
Image 2.6 exports SVG alongside raster formats, so a finished design drops straight into a website, an app screen or a print file at any size. Combined with the complexity control, that makes the output usable beyond a mood board.

Image 2.6 — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers on what Image 2.6 is, how Flare and Sunburst differ, how fast a picture arrives, how GIF and SVG export work, which edits stay consistent, and what the complexity setting changes.
What is Image 2.6?
Image 2.6 is an image generation and editing model available in ChatGPT, Codex and the API. It produces pictures roughly 50% faster than the previous model, keeps characters and products consistent between edits, and adds looping GIF output plus SVG export.
What is the difference between Flare and Sunburst?
They are two variants of Image 2.6. Flare is the speed tier: at low quality it can return a frame in about six seconds, which suits drafts and layout exploration. Sunburst is the fidelity tier used at medium or high quality, and it holds detail and cross-edit consistency most firmly.
How fast is Image 2.6 really?
About 50% faster than the model it replaces. The headline case is a Flare frame at low quality in roughly six seconds; higher quality settings and busier scenes take longer, because the model spends more planning on them.
Can Image 2.6 make a GIF?
Yes. Image 2.6 converts an image into a seamless looping GIF, built from a sprite-sheet style frame sequence. It is used for brand mascots, social stickers and memes, and for storyboarding character motion before committing to video.
Does Image 2.6 keep a character consistent across edits?
That is the core of the release. Each pass in Image 2.6 stays anchored to the reference, so faces, product details and brand marks survive repeated rounds. Consistency is strongest with Sunburst at medium or high quality.
What does the complexity setting do?
Complexity controls how much planning Image 2.6 invests before drawing. Low complexity is the right choice for quick edits and simple corrections; medium and high complexity pay off when a scene holds many elements and tight constraints. Quality and complexity are separate dials — quality governs visual detail, complexity governs scene construction.
Where can I use Image 2.6?
It is available in ChatGPT and Codex on every plan, on desktop, mobile and the web, and through the API as GPT-Image-2.6 Flare and GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst. API pricing follows the official image generation rate card.
Make the Next Picture with Image 2.6
A brief becomes a draft in seconds and a finished frame in minutes. Image 2.6 keeps the character, the product and the brand mark where they belong, adds looping motion when the idea needs to move, and hands back an SVG that is ready for production. Open the generator, pick a quality tier, and let the first result decide the next one.
