GPT Image 2.6 FAQ
What changed in GPT Image 2.6 and what you can do in the studio.
Compare GPT Image 2.6 and 2.501What is GPT Image 2.6, and when was it released?+
GPT Image 2.6 is OpenAI’s model family for generating images from text and editing existing images. OpenAI announced Images 2.6 on November 4, 2026, for ChatGPT, Codex and the API.
02What changed from GPT Image 2.5 to 2.6?+
OpenAI reports faster generation and better preservation of details across edits. The 2.6 Image API also adds animated GIF and SVG output and a setting for how much planning a request needs. Both versions already offer Flare and Sunburst variants.
03What is Sunburst, and can GPT Image 2.6 make GIFs?+
Sunburst is the GPT Image 2.6 variant for detailed images and edits. OpenAI’s Image API supports animated GIFs with both Sunburst and the faster Flare variant, and GIF creation is rolling out in ChatGPT. Images26 currently creates still images and does not offer variant selection.
04Is there a GPT Image 2.6 API?+
Yes. OpenAI’s Image API offers gpt-image-2.6-sunburst and gpt-image-2.6-flare through its image generation and edit endpoints. Images26 is a browser workspace and does not offer a public developer API.
05How does Images26 use GPT Image 2.6?+
Images26 is an independent image creation workspace. It connects to the GPT Image 2.6 model through a third-party image service for text-to-image generation and reference image editing. It is not affiliated with OpenAI.
06How do I use GPT Image 2.6?+
Write a prompt or upload a reference image, choose Auto, Square, Landscape or Portrait, then sign in and review the credit cost. Submit your request, follow its progress and download the result when it is ready.
07Can I edit an existing photo?+
Yes. Choose Image to image and upload a JPEG, PNG or WebP under 10 MB. Describe what should change and which details should stay. Review the result for unintended changes, especially faces, product labels and text.
08Is GPT Image 2.6 free to try?+
New Images26 accounts receive 20 starter credits, enough for two generations at the current cost of 10 credits each. This is a limited trial. Additional credits are not available for purchase until billing is enabled.
09Which output options are supported?+
The current Images26 integration creates static images with automatic quality and Auto, 1:1, 3:2 or 2:3 framing. Final image dimensions depend on the provider. GIF, SVG, 4K controls and Flare or Sunburst selection are not currently offered here.
10What happens if a generation fails?+
A request confirmed as failed returns its reserved credits once. If the provider status is unknown, the request stays pending so that it is not accidentally submitted twice. You can check it again in My creations.
11Can I use the images commercially?+
Check the applicable model and provider terms and the rights to any material you upload. You are responsible for reviewing generated work before publication. Images26 does not guarantee exclusivity or third-party rights clearance.
12Are my uploads public?+
Reference uploads are stored in a private bucket and accessed using temporary signed links for processing. Your generation history is available only to your account. Download finished results promptly because provider links can expire.
