What GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst does best

  • Text and image inputs, one visual brief

    GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst generates images from written instructions and edits reference images. Combine a product photo with a description of the new setting, then identify the shape, color and details to keep.

  • Square, landscape and portrait compositions

    The model supports sizes including 1024 × 1024, 1536 × 1024 and 1024 × 1536 pixels. Plan a square product image, a landscape cover or a portrait poster around the space your subject and message need.

  • Five quality levels for detailed image work

    Sunburst supports low, medium, high, extra high and max quality, plus automatic selection. Its focus on detailed generation and editing suits work where textures, lighting and small visual decisions deserve a closer look.

Create product images, posters and reference-led visuals with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst

Product background replacement

Give GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst a product photo and describe the room, surface or lighting you want instead. Keep the brief specific about the silhouette, label and proportions so the next version is still centered on the same product.

Poster lettering and composition

Build the image around a headline, not the other way around. Supply the exact words, their order and where they should sit; use Sunburst to explore the visual and text together, or leave a deliberate blank area for later typesetting.

  1. Describe the image and its purpose

    State the subject, setting, composition and intended use. For an edit, say what should change and list the details that must remain.

  2. Add the references that matter

    Attach up to five JPEG, PNG or WebP reference images, each no larger than 20 MiB. Explain the role of each reference instead of leaving the model to guess.

  3. Continue with image generation in chat

    Choose Try in YouMind to carry your brief and references into chat with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst selected for image generation. Aspect ratio and quality controls belong to the chat image workflow, not this landing input.

  4. Review one change at a time

    Inspect the subject, layout and any text. Request a focused correction and compare it with the prior version before making the next change.

9-Panel Candid Anime Photo Grid

Using the provided reference image as the character base, generate a 3x3 grid of 9 distinct square panels. Each panel should depict the same character in different candid, slice-of-life scenarios, styled to look like casual snapshots or social media posts.

Layout: A perfectly aligned 3x3 grid with thin white borders separating the panels.

Style & Atmosphere: The overall aesthetic should be soft, slightly grainy, and naturalistic, mimicking amateur photography. Use varied lighting conditions (daylight, indoor warm light, dusk) and camera angles (close-ups, medium shots, full-body shots).

Panel Content Instructions:
1. Top Left: Motion blur effect, character looking back over shoulder outdoors.
2. Top Center: Character sitting at a cafe table with an iced coffee drink in the foreground, resting chin on hand.
3. Top Right: Close-up selfie angle, partially obscured by a finger or thumb covering part of the lens.
4. Middle Left: Character making a peace sign near their face, winking or squinting against bright sunlight.
5. Middle Center: Silhouette shot against a bright window, standing indoors.
6. Middle Right: Low-angle street shot, character walking past a concrete wall.
7. Bottom Left: Extreme close-up of face, mouth open in surprise or mid-speech.
8. Bottom Center: Night/dusk scene, character walking away down a dimly lit street with streetlights.
9. Bottom Right: Rear view of character walking along a sidewalk next to a fence.

Constraints: Maintain consistent character design (hair color, outfit details like the oversized dark hoodie/sweater and shorts) across all panels. Ensure high variety in composition and mood.

Pixel Art Banana

Minimalist Doodle Photo Illustration

Transform the uploaded photo into a cute minimalist hand-drawn doodle illustration. Preserve the original people, pose, composition, and recognizable facial characteristics, but simplify them into charming cartoon forms.

Use a naive handmade sketchbook aesthetic with bold, slightly wobbly cobalt-blue brush-pen outlines, simple rounded shapes, minimal details, and imperfect hand-drawn strokes. Add subtle warm peach/pink blush on the cheeks and small golden-yellow heart accents around the characters.

Keep the illustration clean and airy with a warm cream/off-white paper background. Use flat, very limited colors, no realistic shading, no gradients, and no complex textures. The overall feeling should be sweet, wholesome, playful, cozy, and romantic, like a handmade children's doodle or personal notebook drawing.

Style keywords: minimalist doodle, folk-inspired hand drawing, blue ink illustration, cute couple illustration, naive art, imperfect brush strokes, simple cartoon, handmade sketchbook aesthetic, warm cream paper, subtle blush, tiny heart doodles, charming imperfections, clean composition.

Ignore details; aim for a beauty where the movements are understandable even if abstract.

3x3 Vocaloid MV Character Cuts

Using REFERENCE_1 as the character base, create a {argument name="aspect ratio" default="16:9"} image made of exactly 9 equal panels in a 3×3 grid, like energetic Vocaloid music-video cuts. Keep the character design consistent, but vary pose, camera angle, crop, facial expression, and background in every panel. Use a flat, clean anime MV style with bold red, blue, cyan, and white graphic shapes, crisp line art, high contrast, and no UI, captions, watermark, or screenshot frame.

Panel plan, exactly 9 cuts:
1. Extreme close-up crop of the character’s eyes and bangs with a blue-and-white spiral graphic background.
2. Full-body dynamic jump/dance pose on a red-and-white checkerboard floor against a deep blue background.
3. Side-profile close-up with eyes closed, hair flowing dramatically, and a large white circle on a red background.
4. Chibi-like forced-perspective shot reaching one gloved hand toward the camera inside a bold blue-and-white circular graphic.
5. Front upper-body idol pose, winking and pointing both fingers toward the cheeks, with red, cyan, and white burst shapes and sparkles.
6. Three-quarter back view looking over the shoulder in front of a blue nighttime city window scene.
7. Close-up of the red sneakers and legs running or stepping across cyan speed lines.
8. Tiny full-body running figure across floating white piano-key platforms, with red circles and cyan audio-wave graphics on a dark blue background.
9. Happy close-up reaching one gloved hand toward the viewer, smiling with eyes closed, surrounded by red and blue confetti.

Overall direction: make the grid feel like a polished animated opening or Vocaloid MV storyboard for {argument name="character name" default="this character"}; preserve the reference character’s identity while prioritizing varied cinematic cuts and rhythmic graphic backgrounds.

Halftone Architectural Collage Poster

Turn this structure photo into a single high-end halftone architectural travel-collage poster. Output one poster per uploaded photo — never merge multiple structures or photos into one frame.

FORMAT

3:4 vertical canvas. Split into two roughly equal zones — real architectural photo on top, printed reconstruction below — divided by one clean, sharp horizontal line.

Do not stretch, warp, tilt, or unnaturally reposition the structure to force the proportions.

TOP HALF — THE REAL SHOT

Preserve the original structure faithfully: same architecture, proportions, perspective, distinctive details, surrounding elements, natural light and shadow, and original color mood.

Keep recognizable features such as:

* façade
* windows and arches
* towers or domes
* doors and structural details
* roofline
* surrounding landscape or street elements

Add only a subtle high-end color grade and the faintest film grain. Do not redesign or reinterpret the architecture.

BOTTOM HALF — THE PRINTED RECONSTRUCTION

Rebuild the same structure as an experimental printed architectural collage using:

torn photographic fragments + fixed-width ASCII character fields + photocopy halftone dots + architectural linework.

The structure must remain immediately recognizable.

* Torn-edge photographic fragments preserve the most important architectural details.
* Brick, stone, glass, metal, shadows, windows, and surrounding textures gradually dissolve outward into ASCII characters, black halftone dots, fragmented print grain, and fine architectural drafting lines.
* Use thin technical construction lines to subtly trace the structure’s geometry.
* Let selected areas break apart into paper fibers and halftone fragments, creating the feeling that the building is emerging from an archival print.
* Keep the main silhouette strong and readable.
* Texture: rough white paper-fiber edges, subtle photocopy imperfections, slight print misregistration, faded ink, old-paper stains, a few restrained crop marks, and one small red calibration bar.
* Color: warm gray old-paper background + black ink + the structure’s original muted colors + a single restrained red accent.
* Never fully desaturate the structure.

The structure should occupy roughly 60–88% of the frame width, scaled according to what reads best for the architecture.

Leave 22–38% of the paper visibly untouched and empty, creating generous negative space so the poster feels like an archival architectural specimen rather than a packed digital screen.

TYPOGRAPHY

Add one clean, readable fixed-width architectural title based on the structure:

[STRUCTURE NAME]

Below it include:

[CITY, COUNTRY]
REC. STUDY 01

Add one short observational caption related to the architecture, such as:

“A monumental study in geometry, time, and place.”

Typography should feel like an old architectural archive mixed with an underground experimental design journal.

A few loose ASCII glyphs may trace the outer silhouette or architectura

Japanese Text Style Reference Sheet

A reference sheet for a Japanese text style, divided into six panels. The style is bold, glossy, and colorful with thick outlines. Panel 1 (top left) shows the word "サムネ" in white text with a purple outline and drop shadow. Panel 2 (top center) shows the character "の" in white with a pink circular background. Panel 3 (top right) displays "フォント" in pink with a darker pink outline. Panel 4 (bottom left) features "透過設定" in white with a red outline. Panel 5 (bottom center) shows "練習" in pink with a dark pink outline. Panel 6 (bottom right) combines all elements: "サムネ", "の", "フォント", "透過設定", and "練習" arranged together.

Dream of the Red Chamber Last Supper Composition

{argument name="theme" default="Dream of the Red Chamber: Night Banquet of Flowers"} × {argument name="reference_composition" default="The Last Supper classic 13-person group portrait composition"} × Borrowing only the horizontal group structure × Approx 1.9:1 aspect ratio × Left side 6 people: {argument name="left_characters_list" default="Miaoyu, Wang Xifeng, Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun, Li Wan, Lin Daiyu"} × Center: {argument name="center_character" default="Jia Baoyu"} × Right side 6 people: {argument name="right_characters_list" default="Xue Baochai, Yingchun, Xichun, Ping'er, Xiren, Qingwen"} × Horizontal long table banquet × {argument name="art_style" default="Qing Dynasty court Gongbi figure painting"}

Instructions:
The "Last Supper 13-person classic group portrait composition" borrows ONLY its central figure + 6 figures on each side + horizontal long table + left/right grouping relationship. The image strictly maintains 6 people on the left, 1 in the center, and 6 on the right, totaling 13 people. {argument name="center_character" default="Jia Baoyu"} is located in the exact center of the frame, with {argument name="left_adjacent_character" default="Lin Daiyu"} and {argument name="right_adjacent_character" default="Xue Baochai"} immediately adjacent to {argument name="center_character" default="Jia Baoyu"} on either side respectively; other characters expand towards the sides according to the order specified in the prompt. All 13 people are clearly visible; do not add or remove characters, do not shuffle the left-right order, and do not disperse characters to other areas. Characters form a complete horizontal group portrait along both sides of the long table. Borrow ONLY the compositional structure of "The Last Supper"; the story, characters, costumes, scenes, and painting language all adopt the classical Chinese context of "Dream of the Red Chamber", with no Western religious figures or religious elements appearing.

Different jobs and different priorities

  • I use GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst to change the backgrounds in product images. Using the original lamp photo as a reference is much easier than describing the shape of its base over and over.

    Product art direction
  • The poster finally felt less crowded. Asking Sunburst to move the flowers down and leave space for the headline made more sense than starting the whole image again.

    Campaign design
  • When I use Sunburst for an article illustration, I describe a specific scene from the piece. It connects with the story better than yet another photo of a desk.

    Editorial illustration
  • For event invitations, I like trying the image and the short message together. Having something concrete to look at makes the text hierarchy easier to discuss.

    Community events
  • For a series of images, I keep returning to the same subject reference. It gives each GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst prompt a common starting point, so the edits are less likely to drift.

    Brand review
  • I use Sunburst for packaging concept images. Seeing the colors and materials together makes the idea easier to discuss than looking at swatches alone.

    Packaging exploration
  • The same product feels different in soft daylight. I like trying that change with a reference photo before deciding which direction to develop.

    Story development
  • Those hard-to-describe curves in a reference photo no longer need a line-by-line explanation. When I change a product scene with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, I build the brief around the original image.

    Catalog planning
  • For a poster in Sunburst, I supply the exact wording and explain the order of the headline and smaller text. That is much clearer than asking it to add a nice title.

    Poster typography
  • The first version was close, but the light was too harsh. I asked Sunburst to change just the lighting rather than start again with a different image.

    Creative feedback
  • For a presentation visual, I put the subject on the right and leave the left side for text. The image stops competing with the message, and the slide feels less cramped.

    Presentation design
  • One reference for the product, another for the colors. Giving each GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst reference a job saves me from writing a long, vague style description.

Questions about creating and editing images with Sunburst

What can I make with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst?
Create product visuals, posters, article illustrations, social graphics and other images from a written brief. You can also provide an existing image and describe a targeted change, such as a new background or different lighting.
How do I change a product background while preserving as much product detail as possible?
Provide a clear reference and separate the instructions into what changes and what stays. For example: replace the shelf with a walnut desk; keep the lamp’s loop-shaped base, cream shade and front-facing angle. Compare those details with the reference after the edit.
How should I use multiple reference images?
Give each reference a job. Specify which image supplies the product, which supplies the palette and which supplies the setting. If the images conflict, state which detail has priority.
Can Sunburst put text inside a poster?
Yes. Quote the exact wording and describe the placement, size hierarchy and background contrast. For a busy poster, start with the headline and essential details, then check the generated lettering before adding more.
How do I choose a composition for a cover or poster?
Decide where the image will appear and where any text needs to go. Ask for a landscape composition with open space for a cover headline, or a portrait composition with a clear reading order for a poster.
Does Sunburst create an editable design file?
It creates an image rather than a layered design document or editable vector file. You can place the result in a design tool to add final typography, arrange other elements or prepare the finished layout.
Can I refine an image without starting over?
Yes. Use the version you want to keep as the reference for the next edit. Name one change, such as softer shadows, and specify what should remain unchanged so you can compare the revision with the previous image.
