GPT Image 2.6 — Faster OpenAI Image Generation

  • OpenAI GPT Image 2.6 (November 2026): Flare for faster iteration, Sunburst for detail and multi-turn edit consistency.
  • Text-to-image and image-to-image at 1K, 2K, and 4K, with low, medium, and high quality.
  • Live in the FreeMake.cc workspace as GPT Image 2.6 (APIMart gpt-image-2.6-flare). Sign in and use purchased credits — gift credits do not cover this model.

GPT Image 2.6 — Faster OpenAI Image Generation

What is GPT Image 2.6?

GPT Image 2.6 is OpenAI's image model after GPT Image 2.5. APIMart exposes two ids with the same token rates: gpt-image-2.6-flare (faster default) and gpt-image-2.6-sunburst (more detail and edit consistency, especially at medium and high quality). Low and medium quality use more output tokens than GPT Image 2.5, so they cost more credits. High quality matches the 2.5 token count.

Flare, the default

FreeMake.cc sends gpt-image-2.6-flare. Use it when you want a quicker pass on posters, product shots, and prompt iterations.

Sunburst, same price

Sunburst prioritizes detail and consistency across edits. It uses the same token rates as Flare and is not a separate picker yet.

Image-to-image

Upload a reference and describe what should change. The workspace keeps text-to-image and image-to-image on the same model.

1K to 4K

Pick 1K, 2K, or 4K and low, medium, or high quality. Credits update before you generate.

Popular GPT Image 2.6 use cases

Built for teams that iterate on stills and then lock a look for product or campaign work.

  • Campaign creative

    Poster layouts, social stills, and series variations that need readable type and a consistent subject.

  • Product imagery

    Hero shots and background changes that keep packaging and labels intact.

  • Style exploration

    Start from a reference photo and try a new setting without redrawing the product from scratch.

  • Layouts and copy

    Flyers, merch mockups, and presentation visuals where in-image text has to stay legible.

GPT Image 2.6 FAQ

How GPT Image 2.6 works on FreeMake.cc.

  1. Can I use GPT Image 2.6 on FreeMake.cc?

    Yes. Choose GPT Image 2.6 in the image workspace, or open this page and use Try GPT Image 2.6. The generator calls APIMart model gpt-image-2.6-flare.

  2. What is the difference between Flare and Sunburst?

    Flare is the faster default for iteration. Sunburst favors detail and consistency across edits, especially at medium and high quality. Both use the same token rates. FreeMake.cc currently exposes Flare only.

  3. Why does it cost more than GPT Image 2.5?

    At the same size, low and medium quality on GPT Image 2.6 use more image output tokens than GPT Image 2.5. High quality uses the same token count. Credits follow that upstream cost, with the same margin used for other GPT Image models.

  4. Do daily free credits or signup gift credits work?

    No. GPT Image 2.6 always uses purchased credits, including at 1K and low quality. Gift credits stay available for other models.

  5. Which sizes and quality levels are supported?

    1K, 2K, and 4K, plus low, medium, and high quality, for text-to-image and image-to-image. Aspect ratios follow the existing GPT Image size map.

  6. Does the workspace generate GIF or SVG?

    Not yet. APIMart GPT Image 2.6 can return GIF and SVG, but the FreeMake.cc image workspace stays on still PNG, JPEG, and WebP.

  7. Does this replace GPT Image 2 or 2.5?

    No. GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 stay in the model list. GPT Image 2 remains the model used for the daily free tier.

  8. Commercial use?

    Review the FreeMake.cc Terms and your credit purchase. Upstream commercial rights follow the API provider's terms.
