Sample Images
Turn a reference photo into a new product scene, portrait style, or campaign concept with GPT Image 2.5 Flare. Describe the change you want and build from the image you already have. Explore the Flare and Sunburst comparison below to understand the two approaches.
Start with your source image, give the edit a clear direction, and choose an output format that fits your project. The three steps below take you from an existing visual to a first version you can use to develop your idea.
Upload a clear JPG, PNG, or WebP image that shows your subject at a useful size. For a product, choose a view where its shape and important markings are easy to see. For a portrait, begin with the pose and expression you want to carry into the new scene.
Describe the main change, then name the details to retain. For example: “Place this mug on a wooden breakfast table in soft morning light; keep its blue glaze and handle shape.” Choose the aspect ratio for your intended placement and the resolution for the output size you need.
Review the displayed credit cost, then select Generate. Compare the result with the direction in your prompt. If the setting works but the light needs adjusting, use the image you want to develop as your next reference and focus the next instruction on that change.
A useful reference gives each new image a visual starting point. Use the subject, composition, or material in your source to explore a different setting, a more focused edit, or a new lighting direction. These three approaches suit different stages of a creative project.
Develop several settings around the same reference subject: a ceramic mug on a breakfast table, a kitchen shelf, or a cafe counter. Describe the environment and framing while naming the product details that define its identity. This gives your visual exploration a consistent subject to build around.
Refine one part of a composition when the broader direction already works. For a portrait, you might request a warmer background while keeping the pose and clothing. For a product visual, try changing the surface beneath the object. A focused instruction makes the purpose of each new version easier to assess.
Explore how lighting changes the mood of a portrait or product scene. Specify a light source, direction, and softness: diffused window light from the left, a warm evening glow, or a crisp studio setup. Include the material you want to emphasize, such as brushed metal, ceramic glaze, or woven fabric.
Use the model comparison to understand the two variants, then shape the brief around your project. Flare powers the generator on this page. The remaining notes help you decide what to preserve and how to choose a version for your intended use.
Flare emphasizes faster everyday generation, making it an option for developing initial directions and trying variations. Keep one goal for each pass so you can tell what the new version contributes. For a campaign concept, that could mean exploring a setting before refining the light or visual mood.
Sunburst is the detail-focused variant in the GPT Image 2.5 family, positioned around precision for premium visual work. When comparing the approaches, consider the kind of decision you are making: exploring an overall concept or refining a detailed composition. This page offers the Flare workflow.
List the few details that make your subject recognizable: the color of a jacket, a distinctive handle, or a particular camera angle. Put those beside your requested change in the prompt. “Keep the red jacket and side profile; move the scene to a city street” is more specific than “make it cinematic.”
Choose a version at the size and crop your audience will see. For a store image, look at product shape and markings; for a portrait, focus on facial details and expression. Keep the prompt with your chosen image so the next variation starts from a clear creative direction.
