GPT Image 2.5 Flare is OpenAI's everyday image generator, built for speed without sacrificing quality. Flare is optimized for fast iteration, making it ideal for exploratory work, character sheets, mockups, and routine editing. It trades some of the precision focus of Sunburst for generation speed, making it the everyday default for most creative work.
Flare is the default choice for most work because it balances quality with generation speed, letting you iterate quickly and build a project faster. When you're exploring directions, building asset libraries, or editing routine work, Flare enables you to move through concepts and refinements without context-switching. The model delivers on-brand work while staying responsive to iteration.
Flare doesn't cut corners on quality. It delivers sharp, detailed images at speeds optimized for iteration. Generate character sheets, mockups, and style explorations and immediately see what works. Speed enables you to try multiple directions in the same session. This is the difference between exploring two variations per day and exploring ten: iteration speed compounds into better work because you can respond to feedback in real time and stay immersed in the project without distraction.
Flare handles text-based prompts well and takes direction from reference images. Give it a mood board or product photo and it draws on it to keep your work consistent. Reference guidance is built in, so you can maintain brand consistency without sacrificing speed.
Edit existing images quickly by describing what you want to change. Flare understands directives like "brighten the background" or "add a shadow" and applies them cleanly. Mask an area to keep edits tight, or describe the area and let Flare infer it.
Build character sheets, product mockups, location stills, and UI mockups in one session. Flare's generation speed lets you explore multiple variations and find what works. This iteration speed multiplies the value of each session because you can try different directions, refine based on results, and finalize work all without context switching or waiting between attempts.
Be specific in your brief. "A heroic pose with confident expression, warm studio lighting" gets you closer than "make it dramatic." Flare responds to direction but rewards specificity.
You pay $0.135 per image, regardless of whether you're generating from text or editing an existing image. Aspect ratio doesn't change the cost. Use the cost calculator on this page to estimate your spend.
Build character sheets, costume options, and location stills quickly. Feed Flare consistent references and it keeps your cast and locations on model across multiple generations. The speed of Flare makes exploring variations practical within a single session.
Generate product shots, lifestyle photos, and marketing visuals that stay on brand. Use reference images to maintain consistent lighting, colors, and product appearance. Flare's speed means you can try different angles and compositions in minutes.
Generate UI element explorations, app mockups, and website design concepts quickly. Flare handles layout, typography, and color well enough for design iteration work. Speed makes exploring design directions practical.
Pick Flare for everyday work: character sheets, product mockups, style exploration, and routine edits. Both models deliver the same high quality and cost the same on Craze. Sunburst is the choice only when the brief requires unusually fine detail or demanding precision beyond what an ordinary sheet or edit needs. Faster does not mean lower quality: both variants deliver the same quoted price.
