See how GPT Image 2.5 transforms reference images across five editing examples. Move each slider to compare the input with the result.
Turn a familiar portrait into a new look while keeping the person recognizable. This example changes a child’s red shirt into an ivory tuxedo and bow tie, preserving the pose, expression, and blue backdrop. A focused instruction gives the model a clear change to make and a clear set of details to keep.
Dress a familiar pet for an imaginative scene while keeping its appearance and surroundings recognizable. The dog gains a white stunt suit and helmet with red and blue details, while the sunny patio and the dog’s stance stay connected to the reference. It is a useful way to explore themed portraits and playful creative variations.
Use a photographed print as the starting point for a cleaner portrait. Here, the input is a hand-held photobooth photograph; the result brings the subject into a full image while retaining her expression, magenta top, necklace, and green backdrop. The reference supplies the identity and visual details for a more direct composition.
Combine people from separate photographs into a shared composition. Three individual references become one candid party photo, with the people posed together under consistent indoor lighting. This example shows how multiple image inputs can guide recognizable subjects, their placement, and the atmosphere of a new scene.
Make a targeted change to an interior while keeping the overall scene recognizable. The rumpled bedding becomes neatly arranged, while the room, furniture, camera angle, and lighting stay consistent. It is a clear example of refining a small part of an image for interior concepts, lifestyle visuals, or a more polished presentation.
Create a new image or refine a reference in three steps.
01
Start with Flare for quick exploration, or choose Sunburst when the edit needs extra precision.
02
Specify the subject, composition, lighting, and style. Add reference images when a person, product, or existing design should guide the result.
03
Choose the ratio, output tier, and image count. Review the credit cost, generate, then download or use the result for another edit.
Create campaign visuals, product concepts, portraits, and structured graphics with a brief you can keep refining.
Build an ad around a real headline, a product or subject, and a clear visual hierarchy. Specify where the copy belongs and keep the palette consistent across a series. Flare is a practical starting point for exploring different campaign directions. Once a layout works, use a reference to adjust the headline, background, or styling while preserving the parts you want to keep. Review the final text at the size it will actually be seen.
Try it NowUse a photograph as the starting point for a studio portrait, a cinematic treatment, or a playful change of era. Name the details that define the person, then describe the outfit, lighting, and setting you want to change. Sunburst is suited to careful refinements where recognizable features matter. Keep the source image available and compare each new version before using it as the reference for another edit.
Try it NowGive products and interiors a consistent visual setting for catalogs, campaigns, and lifestyle images. Start from a reference when furniture, materials, colors, or a product’s shape need to carry through. Ask for a controlled change, such as tidier bedding, a softer shadow, or a different surface. The bedroom example shows how a small change can refresh a scene while keeping its overall layout recognizable.

Turn an explanation into a diagram, a presentation visual, or an early interface concept. Describe the reading order, the number of panels, and the exact labels before asking for a visual style. Sunburst can be useful when placement and editing precision are central to the brief. Generated interface concepts are visual references for the next design stage; check the information and recreate production layouts in your design tools.

Yes. Use it for posters, ads, packaging concepts, signs, and graphics that combine visuals with copy. Put the exact wording in quotation marks and describe its position and hierarchy. Keep important text concise, then check spelling, numbers, and placement in the finished image.
Yes. Add a reference image and describe what you want to change, such as the background, lighting, clothing, colors, or part of the composition. Mention the details that should stay the same to give the edit a clear focus.
Yes. Reuse the latest result as a reference and give the next edit a focused instruction. Images 2.5 is better at keeping earlier changes and surrounding details consistent through repeated edits. Previous versions remain available in the studio’s History so you can compare your progress.
Yes. Create product concepts, catalog compositions, packaging studies, and campaign visuals. Use a clear product reference when its shape, color, or branding needs to stay recognizable. Describe the surface, lighting, camera angle, and background, then review fine details such as labels and reflections.
