OpenAI GPT Image models
GPT Image routes cover prompt-led artwork and reference-based editing, with different canvas, quality, and resolution choices. Decide whether the image depends on exact written instructions, rendered copy, or preservation of an existing subject. Compare the available controls rather than assuming every GPT Image version has the same options.
4 models available in Starpop. Updated .

Choosing a OpenAI model
Choosing a practical canvas
GPT Image 1.5 offers a focused set of canvas orientations and quality tiers. GPT Image 2 exposes broader format and resolution controls for campaigns that need several placements.
Comparing newer generation routes
Compare GPT Image 2.5 Flare for fast visual concepts with Sunburst for intricate detail. Use the same brief and references when evaluating the results so the model is the main variable.
Budgeting reference edits
Quality settings and reference inputs can change the credit estimate. State what must remain unchanged, scope each edit clearly, and proofread rendered copy before approving a high-quality final image.
