What can ChatGPT Images 2.5 actually do for you?

By Adam Neely · 2026-09-21 · 7 min
Quick answer: The biggest upgrade is controlled iteration: you can change one part of an image without repeatedly rebuilding the whole idea.

The biggest upgrade is controlled iteration: you can change one part of an image without repeatedly rebuilding the whole idea.

  1. Type @Sketch, draw a rough composition, and label where the main subject, text, and empty space should go.
  2. Choose a Template when the output has a known format such as a poster, flyer, product photo, or merch graphic, then replace the sample content with your own.
  3. After generation, place a comment on the exact area to change and describe only that edit; review the rest of the image for unintended drift.
  4. For API work, use Flare for previews, batch generation, and responsive interfaces; reserve Sunburst for final campaign or product creative where precision matters more than wait time.
Good to know: Prompt sharing is useful for repeatable workflows, but remove private names, images, and business details before sharing a prompt.
