## Where GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst fits best

### Best uses

- Labeled diagrams and detail-heavy finals
- Packaging and sleeves with exact typography
- Tightly constrained or multi-part edits
- Editing with several reference images

### Limits to know

- Priced by size and quality, the same as GPT Image 2.6 Flare. Low and medium cost more than GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst; high costs the same. 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.
