Where GPT Image 2.6 Flare fits best

Best uses

  • Menus, maps, labels and posters where every word has to be right
  • Candid, phone-shot photos with real skin and light
  • Edits that change only what you ask and keep the rest of the photo
  • Up to 4K output in 16:9 or 9:16

Limits to know

  • Priced by size and quality, and usually more than GPT Image 2.5 Flare at the same settings. The exact price shows on the button before you generate.
  • Three quality tiers (low, medium, high); 2.5’s xhigh and max are not offered. There is no automatic quality, because the price has to be known before the job runs; edits can use Auto size, which keeps your photo’s shape at the nearest priced size.
  • Animated GIF and SVG output are not available in Made yet.
