What This App Does
GPT Image 2.6 Flare is OpenAI's latest image model in the GPT Image family, built for fast iteration: interactive generation and editing loops where you try many directions quickly. GPT Image 2.6 comes in two versions, Sunburst and Flare, which share the same token prices. Pick Flare for fast iteration; pick Sunburst when detail and precision matter more than speed.
The headline addition of GPT Image 2.6 is complexity control. The complexity setting decides how much the model plans before it renders. Low suits focused changes such as a new background or a sign; high helps with dense text, complex layouts and the relationships between objects, at the cost of more latency and a higher chance of unwanted changes. When you leave it at high, the model behaves as it does by default. Complexity has no separate fee; the quality setting still controls rendering quality.
Quality goes from low to max (low, medium, high, xhigh, max, or auto). Lower settings are good for quick drafts; compare the higher ones for final assets. GPT Image 2.6 renders noticeably more tokens than GPT Image 2.5 at low and medium quality, so those settings cost more than on 2.5, while high and above cost the same.
Sizes cover square, landscape and portrait presets, plus 2K and 4K options. OpenAI marks resolutions above 2560x1440 as experimental.
Through the API, this template also accepts optional reference images: when you send them, the model edits or restyles from those images instead of generating from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a subscription to use GPT Image 2.6 Flare?
No. Buy a credit pack once, generate, and come back whenever you want. Purchased credits stay valid 12 months, and every new purchase extends them.
What is GPT Image 2.6 Flare?
It is the fast iteration version of OpenAI's GPT Image 2.6 image model. It generates images from a text prompt and can edit from reference images.
What is the difference between Sunburst and Flare?
OpenAI positions Sunburst for detailed visual work and Flare for fast iteration. Both share the same token prices and the same settings.
What changed from GPT Image 2.5?
GPT Image 2.6 adds the complexity setting. It also renders more tokens at low and medium quality, so those settings cost more than on 2.5; high and above cost the same.
What does the complexity setting do?
It controls how much the model plans before rendering. Use low for focused edits like a background or a sign, and high for dense text, complex layouts and object relationships. High is the default.
Does a higher complexity cost more?
Complexity has no separate fee. Higher complexity can take longer and may introduce unwanted changes, so compare results for your task.
What sizes can I generate?
Square, landscape and portrait presets from 1024 pixels, plus 2048x2048, 2048x1152, 3840x2160 and 2160x3840. OpenAI calls resolutions above 2560x1440 experimental.
What drives the price of a run?
OpenAI bills per token, so the price depends on the size, the quality and, for edits, the reference images. Larger sizes and higher quality cost more; the final charge follows the usage OpenAI reports.
Can I edit an existing image?
Yes, through the API: send one or more reference image URLs in the images input and the run switches to editing. In the app, this template generates from the prompt.
Does this template output SVG or animated GIF?
No. GPT Image 2.6 can produce SVG and animated GIF through OpenAI's API, but this template returns a regular image.
Any prompting tips?
Describe the subject, the layout, any exact text in quotes and the style. For dense text or complex scenes keep complexity high; for small targeted edits try low.
How do I know what a generation will cost?
The app shows the exact price on the Generate button and updates it as you change the settings, before anything is billed.
Is there a free trial available?
Yes, AI-FLOW offers a free trial to get you started. After that, you can purchase credits as needed—no subscription or long-term commitment required.
