GPT Image 2.6
Flare for fast series, Sunburst for careful edits: 16 aspect ratios, up to 16 photos and 4K.
When to choose it
GPT Image 2.6 comes in two variants, like 2.5. Flare suits quick tries and everyday tasks; Sunburst keeps composition and details safer in demanding edits. Both create from text and edit up to 16 uploaded photos: the mode switches by itself once you add photos. The list of aspect ratios is longer than in 2.5: 16 options, including 5:4, 4:5, 2:1, 1:2, 9:21, 3:1 and 1:3.
- 16 aspect ratios, including very wide and very tall ones: 3:1 and 1:3.
- Up to 16 input photos; creating and editing switch automatically.
- 1K, 2K and 4K quality in both variants.
- A transparent background at 1K when you need an object without backdrop.
Modes and settings
- Flare and Sunburst: from text, or editing when 1 to 16 photos are added.
- 1K, 2K or 4K quality; 1, 2 or 4 results per run.
- Opaque or transparent background; transparent is available at 1K only.

Coins are Mixer AI balance units. The table shows a base request without extra variations. Multiple results and new attempts can increase the total; check it before submitting.
The dollar price follows the current coin rate.
What you can make
- Banners and posters in unusual proportions: a narrow strip or a tall vertical.
- Product shots on a transparent background at 1K for a catalog or layout.
How to direct the result
- Describe the final frame first, then the role of each uploaded photo.
- For an edit, name what must stay unchanged and ask for one local change per step.
Example: a wide banner with a product
Create a 3:1 banner. Photo one is the product: keep its shape, colors and label. Place it in the right third on a light stone surface with soft side light. Leave the left two thirds empty for a headline, and draw no text.
What to keep in mind
- A transparent background works at 1K only: the switch is hidden at 2K and 4K.
- Check faces, lettering and brand elements at full size: a variant name does not guarantee exact preservation.
