## Route summary

- **Provider:** OpenAI
- **Media:** image
- **Inputs:** Text · Image
- **Output:** 1K–4K PNG
- **Credits:** 2–18 credits per output
- **Availability:** Available

## Capabilities

- **Image fidelity from references:** Keep the subject in an owned still recognizable while you restage costume, setting, or style. Distinctive features, lighting, and texture carry into the new composition.
- **Precise edits:** Change only what you ask and leave the rest of the frame intact—even with complex subjects and busy backgrounds. Name the edit and what must stay.
- **Multi-turn editing consistency:** Run another pass on the same still. Earlier changes stay put and quality holds, so each instruction builds on the last instead of restaging the whole frame.
- **Intelligence and style:** Follow complex briefs in one still: real-world facts stay accurate, dense layouts keep hierarchy and labels, and the requested visual style lands.

## How to use

1. **Start from text or references:** Open GPT Image 2.5 with a text brief, or add one to 16 owned stills for the image-edit route. Prefill from a Key Feature or Example if you want—nothing runs until you generate. Generate stays disabled on edit until a reference is attached.
2. **Name the change and what must stay:** Write the scene, or the one edit plus the identity, layout, and details that must not change. For a follow-up pass, keep naming what already landed so the next change stays surgical.
3. **Choose Flare or Sunburst, then generate:** Select Flare or Sunburst, Low / Medium / High, 1K–4K, and a ratio. Confirm the credit estimate and generate. Review identity and readable text, then download or continue on image-edit for the next keep-and-change pass.

## Pricing

Estimates below use the default 3-credit 2K Medium still. The range is 2–18 credits; Flare and Sunburst, generate and edit, share that MixVio rate. Confirm the exact reservation before you generate.

## FAQ

### What is GPT Image 2.5?

GPT Image 2.5 is OpenAI’s image generation and editing model. On MixVio you start from a text brief or up to 16 owned stills, then generate or edit privately with Flare or Sunburst at 1K, 2K, or 4K—credits shown before you run.

### What is GPT Image 2.5 best for?

Use it when a reference subject must stay recognizable, when you need precise keep-and-change edits, or when a complex brief mixes layout, style, and readable in-image text. Choose Flare or Sunburst on this page; both share MixVio credits.

### What can I make with GPT Image 2.5 on MixVio?

Campaign posters, product stills, packaging comps, and portraits or pet photos where the subject must stay recognizable. Start from text, or attach owned stills for a keep-and-change edit. MixVio shows the credit estimate before you generate.

### Can I restage a person or pet from a reference photo?

Yes. Attach one to 16 owned stills, then name the costume, setting, or style change and the identity that must stay. MixVio uses the image-edit route. Unrequested details can still shift, so review before publishing.

### What is the difference between Flare and Sunburst?

Both sit on the same MixVio credit table. Flare is the faster GPT Image 2.5 variant; Sunburst is the higher-fidelity pass. Switching the selector stays on this page. MixVio does not publish a latency benchmark for either variant.

### Can I edit an existing image with GPT Image 2.5?

Yes. Upload one to 16 owned stills (JPEG, PNG, or WebP, ≤30 MB each), then name the one change and what must not change—identity, layout, and details you already approved. MixVio routes to the GPT Image 2.5 edit path. MixVio does not publish a separate pixel-size gate for these stills. For a follow-up pass, continue on image-edit and restate what must stay. Unrequested details can still shift, so review before publishing. Mask painting, transparent backgrounds, and multi-output batches are not exposed in this v1.

### Which resolutions, qualities, and ratios does MixVio support?

1K, 2K, and 4K with Low, Medium, or High quality at 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, or 9:16. Choose a fixed aspect ratio to keep the selected output size; Auto is not offered. Generate and edit share the same table. MixVio does not ship xhigh or max quality.

### How many credits does GPT Image 2.5 use?

From 2 credits at 1K Low to 18 credits at 4K High. Default 2K Medium is 3 credits. Flare and Sunburst, generate and edit, share this table. MixVio shows the exact estimate before submission. Failed runs cost no credits.

### Is GPT Image 2.5 free?

Yes on the Free plan when you have credits. Free images are watermarked and capped at 1K. Paid plans unlock higher resolutions without the MixVio watermark. Failed runs cost no credits.

### How does GPT Image 2.5 compare with GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2, or Seedream 5.0 Pro?

Choose GPT Image 2.5 when you want keep-and-change edits, reference fidelity, and Low / Medium / High at 1K–4K. Flare and Sunburst share credits. Stay on GPT Image 2 for the High-only 4–9 credit path. Prefer Nano Banana 2 for lower-credit balanced loops, or Seedream 5.0 Pro for dense multilingual boards at 1K–2K. Use the comparison table for live Best for, grades, and credits.

### Can I use GPT Image 2.5 outputs commercially?

Paid-plan outputs may be used commercially, subject to the Terms of Service and current OpenAI terms. You must have rights to every prompt, reference, face, and brand. Free-plan outputs are for evaluation and are not for commercial publishing. MixVio does not guarantee exclusivity or trademark clearance.

### Does MixVio include Sketch, templates, or xhigh quality?

No. ChatGPT Sketch, click-to-comment on the image, and templates are not MixVio routes. MixVio ships Low, Medium, and High only—not xhigh or max. Mask painting, a transparent-background control, and multi-output batches are not exposed in this v1.

### Are my prompts and outputs private on MixVio?

Yes. Prompts are routed server-side, and final media is archived privately to your workspace—not exposed in public URLs or client logs. Keep private prompts and asset IDs out of shared links.
