GPT Image 2.5 API

Generate and edit images with OpenAI GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst, up to 4K and five quality tiers, with one API key and flat per-image credit quotes instead of token math. Preview the exact cost of any request, then poll for the result.

How It Works

Get Started

Create an API key

In Dashboard → Developer API → Keys, create a revocable mi_ key and send it as a Bearer token.

Preview the cost

POST the same input to preview-credits and get the exact credit quote back. Previews never charge.

Generate and poll

POST to /models/{modelId}/generations, receive HTTP 202 with a generation ID, then poll the image status endpoint until terminal is true.

GPT Image API pricing

GPT Image 2.5 per image, by resolution and quality

Live credit quotes for a single 1:1 request at each resolution and quality tier. Flare is the everyday generator, Sunburst is tuned for precision edits, and GPT Image 2 stays available for existing pipelines.

Quotes are calculated from the live model pricing when this page is built. Edits are priced on their own tier and add a charge for each reference image after the first. POST /models/{modelId}/preview-credits returns the exact cost of your own payload without charging.

Quickstart

Your first GPT Image 2.5 request

One POST creates the job and returns HTTP 202 with a generation ID. Add imageUrls to switch the same request to an edit, then poll the image status endpoint until terminal is true.

Features

What you get with the GPT Image API

01

Flare and Sunburst, one contract

gpt-image-2.5-flare, gpt-image-2.5-sunburst and gpt-image-2 share one request shape: a prompt plus optional imageUrls, aspectRatio, resolution and quality.

02

Up to 4K and five quality tiers

Render at 1K, 2K or 4K with low, medium, high, xhigh or max quality, and pay only for the tier you ask for.

03

Edits with up to 16 references

Add imageUrls and the same request becomes an edit. Sunburst keeps faces, products and layouts intact across up to 16 references.

04

Per-image quotes, not token math

Every request has a fixed credit quote you can check with preview-credits before you spend, from the balance you already use in the app.

05

Safe retries

Send an Idempotency-Key header and a retried request with the same body replays the original response instead of starting a second job.

06

Also in Claude and Cursor

The same models are available through the MCP connector, so an agent can generate GPT Image 2.5 images on your account.

Public list prices for comparable requests elsewhere, verified 29 September 2026, next to our credit quote for the same request. Our credits come from the balance you already use in the app, and preview-credits returns the exact figure before you spend anything.

Choosing a GPT Image model

Flare, Sunburst or GPT Image 2?

Start on Flare at 1K low or medium for drafts, raise quality and resolution only for the images you keep, and send precision edits to Sunburst. Switching is a one-word change to the model ID.

GPT Image 2.5 Flare

Everyday generation and editing up to 4K, with xhigh and max quality tiers.

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst

Precision edits that keep faces, products and layouts intact across up to 16 references.

GPT Image 2

The previous generation, kept for pipelines that already depend on it.

Practical workflow

  3. 3

    Preview and generate

    Quote the body with preview-credits, then POST it to generations.

  4. 4

    Poll and store

    Poll GET /generations/image/{id} and save the URLs from urls.
