The tumbler goes from amber to blue. The pitcher, the lemons, the cloth, and the window light stay. SVG is a separate export, for a logo or an icon.
4 November 2026 · ChatGPT Image 2.6, Codex, and the API
Generate your own image with GPT Image 2.6
The box below is a GPT Image 2.6 image generator. Describe a poster, a product, or a character and get a file back. A later edit can keep the same character, product, and brand details.
What can GPT Image 2.6 do?
Four changes from the 4 November announcement. This is a short reading of that post, not the post itself. Read Introducing Images 2.6.
A faster first picture
GPT Image 2.6 is about 50% faster than the previous image model. Flare, at low quality, can return a picture in about six seconds. It is also stronger on posters and product layouts.
A GIF you can post
The GIF tab is a GPT Image 2.6 GIF generator. Use it for a mascot wave, a reaction, or a product that turns and settles. This page asks for 9 frames at 200 ms.
Detail, and how hard it thinks
Quality sets the detail. Complexity sets how much planning the model does. For most edits, start at low complexity. Raise it when the picture has many parts.
GPT Image 2.6 prompts
These are GPT Image 2.6 prompt examples and sample results. Click one. The words land in the box, and you can change them before you generate your own.
Where can I generate images with GPT Image 2.6?
In ChatGPT, in Codex, or in the box on this page. Pick the job, then write the picture you actually want.
A still image
A poster, a product shot, or a scene. Flare is the quick way to see if the idea works.
A reaction GIF
A short loop for a feed. Coco Mao at OpenArt calls GIFs the language people already post.
A storyboard
Watch a character move before anyone books a video shoot.
A product loop
Turn one product photo into a clip for an ad or a product page.
A logo in SVG
Flat shapes, wide margin, ready to scale. Skip texture if you need a clean file.
From a sketch
A rough drawing is enough. GPT Image 2.6 can turn it into a character you can reuse.
What people said about GPT Image 2.6
From the announcement. They are talking about the model, not about this site.
“GIFs are the native language of social media, and GPT-Image-2.6 lets every OpenArt creator speak it fluently from a single prompt.”
“GPT-Image-2.6 brings speed and creative control together, helping you generate and edit images while preserving the details that define a character, product, or brand.”
Start simple, then add detail
Low complexity is the right first edit. Move to medium or high only when the picture has many parts or a strict brief. Quality is still what makes it sharp.
Sunburst when the next edit must match
Sunburst holds character, product, and brand details more steadily at medium or high quality. Use it when the second picture has to look like the first.
People are already making a lot of pictures
OpenAI reports 4 billion images a week across ChatGPT, Codex, and the API. That is their number, not a count from this site.
How to use GPT Image 2.6
- 01
Pick Flare or Sunburst
Flare when you want the picture fast. Sunburst when the next edit should still look like this one.
- 02
Say what the file is
Image, GIF, or SVG. Then write the subject, the setting, and what must not change.
- 03
Change only the part that is wrong
How do I use GPT Image 2.6 to generate and edit images? Generate first. Then mark the spot. Leave the rest of the picture alone.
GPT Image 2.6 API
How can I integrate the GPT Image 2.6 API into my website? Call the images endpoint with GPT-Image-2.6 Flare or Sunburst. This page does that when an API key is set. Complexity has no separate price. Quality is what changes the detail.

Questions about GPT Image 2.6
Can you recommend websites where I can use GPT Image 2.6 online?
ChatGPT and Codex are the official ones, worldwide since 4 November 2026. Image26 is an independent page for the same models. It generates when your API key is set. Image26 is not affiliated with OpenAI. Read the full note.
What tools let me edit my photos with GPT Image 2.6?
ChatGPT already had markup. The API has it now, so you can point at one area. The mark is a transparent PNG the same size as the photo, on the first image only, and it cannot be combined with a mask. The box on this page sends the prompt. Read the full note.
Which websites let me create animated GIFs with GPT Image 2.6?
ChatGPT, and the GIF tab here. Ask for a loop that returns to the first frame. OpenArt’s examples were two six-frame office scenes: one chart falling, one chart rising. Read the full note.
