Key Features of GPT Image 2.5

Reference fidelity

Take a product into a new setting

For a campaign draft, start with your own product photo and specify the setting, lighting and placement you want to explore. Inspect the silhouette, materials and branding before choosing a version.

Focused editing

Change the detail that needs revision

A useful edit brief names both the change and the details to retain. Try a color variation, a background adjustment or the removal of a distracting object, then compare the result with the source. This is especially helpful when the composition already works.

Text and layout

Give a poster a clear reading order

Treat the image as a layout brief: provide the actual wording, choose a hierarchy and reserve space for each element. Check spelling, dates and alignment in the result; image generation is not a substitute for final copy review.

Visual direction

Use a sketch or a style reference

Upload a drawing to establish composition, or a reference image to show the palette and texture you want. Explain which role each image serves so that the model has a clear brief. A saved sketch can be uploaded here as a reference image.

Iteration

Build the next edit from your chosen image

Use a result you like as the reference for the next request. Make one revision at a time and repeat the defining details of the subject. Inspect small elements between versions instead of assuming they will remain identical.

GPT Image 2.5 examples

Explore each image alongside its complete prompt.

Skincare campaign

Build the product image first and add your final headline in a design tool. The empty space is part of the brief.

Image

English prompt

Create a premium skincare campaign photograph in a wide 16:9 frame. Subject: one unbranded frosted amber-glass serum bottle with a matte ivory dropper, standing upright on a pale travertine block. Composition: place the bottle in the left third; leave the right half as clean warm-beige negative space for a headline to be added later. Keep the entire bottle visible. Style and light: tactile editorial product photography, soft morning side light, gentle shadow, subtle water droplets, restrained amber and cream palette. Constraints: no lettering, logos, extra bottles, hands or watermark. Keep the bottle geometry believable and its edges clearly separated from the background.

Editorial portrait

Use a fictional subject to explore lighting and visual direction for an editorial portrait.

Image

English prompt

Create a natural editorial portrait in a wide 16:9 frame. Subject: a fictional adult woman in her thirties with short dark curly hair, freckles and a forest-green linen jacket, looking toward the camera with a relaxed expression. Composition: chest-up portrait, subject slightly right of center, face in sharp focus, softly blurred pale blue-gray studio background, enough room above her hair. Style and light: understated magazine photography, soft window light from the left, visible natural skin texture, gentle tonal contrast. Constraints: one person only, realistic facial proportions, no beauty-filter smoothing, jewelry, text, logo or watermark.

Recipe infographic

Treat an infographic as a small layout system: set the reading order, supply exact text and pair each caption with its illustration.

Image

English prompt

Design a clear, polished illustrated recipe infographic in a wide 16:9 frame. Subject: a three-step guide to making an iced matcha latte, with a finished glass at the right edge. Layout: a cream background, dark forest-green typography, small coral accents. Across the center, place three evenly spaced illustrated steps from left to right: whisking matcha in a bowl, adding ice to a glass, pouring milk into the finished drink. Exact text: title "ICED MATCHA"; subtitle "A SIMPLE THREE-STEP RECIPE"; step captions "1 WHISK", "2 ADD ICE", "3 POUR MILK". Use no other wording. Style: clean editorial food illustration with subtle paper texture, crisp readable typography, generous margins and a clear hierarchy. Constraints: keep every caption adjacent to the correct illustration. Avoid tiny text, clutter, extra steps, logos and watermarks.
