Two ways to create

Find the direction. Then get the details right.

OpenAI positions Flare for everyday image generation and Sunburst for more demanding generation and editing. Start with the brief, then decide how much scrutiny the final image needs.

01 / Explore

Flare.

A starting point for concept exploration, social layouts, and the next version of a brief. Review the output before committing to a batch.

For first directions, prompt variations, and fast creative exploration.

02 / Refine

Sunburst.

Consider it when the brief calls for careful edits or intricate visual detail. Compare the result against the same requirements you used for Flare.

For considered image generation and precise reference-led editing.

Descriptions reflect OpenAI's positioning. On Oakgen both variants share the same controls and credit pricing.

Make the brief stronger

From an idea to a usable image.

A good reference, a specific prompt, and one clear revision give you a better starting point for creative review.

01 /

Start with a product. Keep it recognizable.

Prepare a clean product reference, name the scene you want, and list what must stay unchanged. Check packaging, proportions, and label text before using the result.

02 /

Give the words a place to live.

Write the exact headline in quotation marks. Define its position and leave room for any final copy you will add in your design editor. Always proofread the exported image.

03 /

Make one revision you can judge.

Change the backdrop, lighting, or crop in a separate step. Keep the last approved version so an unwanted change does not become the reference for your next edit.

Questions

Before you start creating.

Availability, controls, and Oakgen credit pricing for Flare and Sunburst.

Is GPT Image 2.5 available on Oakgen?

Yes. Flare and Sunburst are available for text-to-image generation and reference editing in the image generator and Image Editor, and through agent chat and MCP.

How do Flare and Sunburst differ?

OpenAI describes Flare as its fast everyday image model and Sunburst as its most capable image generation and editing model. On Oakgen both have the same controls and the same credit price. Choose by the job and inspect actual results; this page does not report an Oakgen speed benchmark.

Can I generate and edit images?

Yes. Each variant has a text-to-image mode and an edit mode. Edits take 1 to 16 reference images and an optional mask, where transparent areas mark the region to change. You can request up to 4 images at once, choose square, portrait, or landscape sizes, and export PNG, JPEG, or WebP.

What does it cost?

A 1024x1024 text-to-image generation costs 4 credits at low quality, 6 at medium, 16 at high, 27 at xhigh, and 57 at max. Flare and Sunburst cost the same. Edits add about 4 credits per reference image, and a mask counts as one more, so a 1024x1024 edit with one reference costs 8, 10, 20, 31, or 61 credits. Larger sizes and more images per request cost more.

Are the images here made with GPT Image 2.5?

No. The portraits, product scenes, and still-life images are original editorial artwork for this page. They are labeled as such and are not presented as GPT Image 2.5 outputs or a performance demonstration.

Can existing GPT Image 2 promotions be used?

Do not assume an offer for GPT Image 2 includes GPT Image 2.5. Check the terms of the specific offer or plan.
