What it's good for

Pictures with words in them

Posters, birthday cards and signs where the letters come out right, which many image models still get wrong.
Photos that look real

Natural faces, warm light and believable scenes, good for a card, a presentation or a blog post.
Food and products

Dishes, crafts and things you sell, shown the way a magazine would photograph them.
Ideas you can't photograph

A dog on the moon or a whale made of glass. If you can describe it, it can draw it.
Fixing and changing your photos

Upload a picture and ask for a change: a new background, a different season, an old photo cleaned up.

In plain words

GPT Image 2.5 Flare is a tool that paints pictures from a description. You write what you want to see, for example “my grandmother picking tomatoes in her garden at sunset”, and a few seconds later you have an image that looks like a photo.

What sets it apart is how well it follows what you asked for. If you ask for a poster that says “Visit Lisbon” with a yellow tram, you get the words, spelled right, and the tram. That makes it a good first choice for cards, invitations, simple posters and anything that needs text on it.

How to get a good result

Say who or what is in the picture. “A golden retriever wearing a small astronaut helmet.”
Say where. “Sitting on the moon, with the Earth rising behind him.”
Say the style. “Photorealistic”, “a watercolor painting”, “a 1950s travel poster”.
Add the light if it matters. “Soft evening light”, “a rainy window”.

If the first picture isn’t quite right, don’t start over. Tell it what to change: “make it warmer”, “add a cup of tea on the table”, “fewer people in the background”.

Frequently asked questions

Is GPT Image 2.5 Flare the same as ChatGPT's image generator?

It comes from the same company, OpenAI. In chatmodel you use it directly on the Image page, next to other image models, so you can try the same idea with several of them.

Do I need to know how to write prompts?

No. Describe the picture as if you were telling a friend: who is in it, where, and what the light is like. The examples on this page are a good starting point.

Can I use it to edit my own photos?

Yes. Upload a photo on chatmodel's Image page and tell it what to change, for example “make it look like a sunny day” or “remove the person in the background”.

How long does it take to make an image?

Usually a few seconds. More detailed pictures can take a little longer.
