What GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst is good at
- ▸
Tighter control over edits
Sunburst is the model OpenAI recommends for creative and editing workflows. Ask for a specific change and check that the untouched parts of the image stay as they were.
- ▸
Style adherence
Describe the look you want and it tends to hold it across the whole image. Compare against Flare on the same prompt when the style matters more than speed.
- ▸
Text and structured layouts
Labels, packaging copy and slide layouts come out legible more often than on older models. Verify every character before publishing.
- ▸
Multi-image consistency
Upload up to four reference images to guide an edit or keep a character consistent. Review the output against the references.
