What is GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst?
GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst is OpenAI’s image generation and editing model for demanding visual work. OpenAI positions it for tasks where detail, layout and edit accuracy matter. Developers access it through the Image API using the identifier gpt-image-2.6-sunburst.
The model supports creation from descriptions and editing with reference images. Output options include raster images and static vector graphics, with short animated GIFs available through a model-specific preview.
Key features
Reference-image editing
Submit images with instructions describing the changes and details to preserve.
Independent complexity control
Set planning complexity to low, medium or high separately from rendering quality.
Visual edit guidance
Use a dimension-matched transparent PNG overlay to guide an edit.
SVG generation
Produce static vector graphics for illustration and asset workflows.
Animated GIF preview
With access to the model’s GIF preview, request animations with configurable frame count and frame duration.
Who is it for?
Design teams exploring detailed compositions
Develop visual concepts with several elements and review their arrangement.
Creative teams revising reference images
Explore targeted changes while checking which original details remain intact.
Application developers offering vector assets
Build a workflow for generating illustrations that users can refine afterward.
How to use GPT-Image-2.6 Sunburst
- Set up an OpenAI API key and an SDK or HTTP client. Organization verification may be required before using GPT Image models.
- Choose gpt-image-2.6-sunburst for the image request.
- Describe the desired result and supply reference images or edit guidance when appropriate.
- Choose output settings, submit the request and inspect the result before further refinement.

- Detailed work can contain lettering, layout or consistency errors; complex prompts may take up to two minutes.
- SVG output requires a single generation and excludes image editing and streaming.
- GIF output requires access to the selected model’s GIF preview. It supports 2–16 frames within size limits and cannot stream.
- Organization verification may be required before accessing GPT Image models.
Frequently asked questions
Can Sunburst generate transparent assets?
Yes. Transparent raster images use PNG or WebP.
What does the complexity setting control?
It controls computation spent planning the image, independently of rendering quality.
