04 / FAQ

GPT Image 2.6 FAQ

What is GPT Image 2.6?

On LoveImage, this model offers Flare and Sunburst versions for still images, animated GIFs and image editing. Start with a written brief, or select an Edit version to work from a reference. Explore product photography, posters, portraits and short animations in the gallery.

How do Flare and Sunburst differ?

GPT Image 2.6 Flare and GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst have the same controls and price here. Both support 1K images, text-to-GIF and a separate Edit mode for still images. Compare the same prompt in each for composition, lettering and style; the settings alone do not establish a quality or speed advantage.

How does the GPT Image 2.6 GIF generator work?

Choose Flare or Sunburst, select GIF and describe the subject, motion and seamless loop. Generation is text-only with automatic dimensions, without reference images or manual aspect ratios. Plan a short loop of about nine frames, like the nine-frame gallery samples, rather than a long scene with multiple actions.

How much does generation cost, and is it free?

GPT Image 2.6 costs 6 credits per image or GIF, including image edits with Flare Edit and Sunburst Edit. Access requires Creator, Studio or Scale; the Free plan does not include this model. Signup credits do not unlock it: you need a paid subscription and sufficient credits.

Which resolutions and aspect ratios can I choose?

Still images use 1K with auto or ten ratios: 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 5:4, 4:5, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16 and 21:9. Try portrait for posters, square for product tiles or landscape for banners. Manual ratios apply only to still images; GIF dimensions are automatic.

How do I edit a reference image?

For a GPT Image 2.6 edit, select Flare Edit or Sunburst Edit and upload one reference in the workspace. Describe what to preserve and change, such as replacing the background while keeping the product and camera angle. The workspace accepts one reference at a time; Edit versions produce still images, not GIFs.

Can I use the results commercially?

Creator, Studio and Scale include commercial use and access to this model. The Free plan includes neither commercial use nor access to this model. Before using an image or GIF in a campaign or client project, review the result and check your permission to use any reference material.

How does GPT Image 2.6 compare with GPT Image 2.5 here?

GPT Image 2.6 adds text-to-GIF with Flare and Sunburst, while still images use 1K. Here, the 2.5 versions offer 1K, 2K and 4K steps without GIF output. Choose according to your deliverable: a short animation or a still image requiring a higher resolution setting.

How can I get legible text in a poster?

Put the exact headline in quotation marks and specify its position, size and contrast. Keep wording short, separate the headline from supporting text and leave space around each line. Check spelling at full size, then revise the prompt or use an Edit version if the lettering needs another pass.

How can I make a GIF loop seamlessly?

Describe one repeatable action, a fixed camera and a return to the starting pose. For steam or other continuous effects, ask for steady flow without abrupt changes in light, scale or framing. Include “seamless loop”, then watch several repetitions and simplify the motion if the join is visible.
