Questions people ask
Is GPT Image 2 free on Enhance AI?
You can try it free. New accounts get free tokens, and they work on GPT Image 2. You do not need a card. GPT Image 2 starts at 20 tokens an image. The free tokens are a one time gift, not a daily refill. When you need more, plans start at $19, paid one time, with no subscription. Plan tokens last 30 days.
Is GPT Image 2.5 free too?
You can try it free too. The same free tokens work on GPT Image 2.5. Flare and Sunburst start at 10 tokens an image, so your free tokens make more images there.
What is GPT Image 2?
It is an image model made by OpenAI. It makes images from your words and changes images you upload. OpenAI released it on April 21, 2026. GPT Image 2.5 came out after it, on September 8, 2026. GPT Image 2 is still available, and it is not on OpenAI's list of models being shut down.
What is the difference between GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5?
GPT Image 2.5 is newer and comes in two versions. OpenAI calls Flare its fastest model for high quality everyday images. Sunburst is made for edits where precision matters most, and OpenAI says it takes longer than Flare. On Enhance AI, both 2.5 versions cost 10 tokens an image and GPT Image 2 costs 20. In OpenAI's own API the 2.5 versions add two higher quality settings. Our playground has no quality setting, so all three run at their default quality there.
Which one should I use?
Start with GPT Image 2.5 Flare for everyday images and quick tries. Use Sunburst when you upload an image and need an exact change. For posters, labels and charts, GPT Image 2 spelled every word right in our tests. We have not run those tests on 2.5 yet, so try your prompt on both and keep the better one. For lots of cheap drafts, Flux Red costs 1 token an image.
Do I need ChatGPT Plus or an OpenAI account?
No. You use GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 on Enhance AI with Enhance AI tokens. You do not need a ChatGPT plan, an OpenAI account or an API key. OpenAI started giving ChatGPT users ChatGPT Images 2.5 on September 8, 2026. On Enhance AI you pick GPT Image 2, 2.5 Flare or 2.5 Sunburst by name.
Do I need to download an app?
No. It works online, in the browser on your phone or computer.
How good is GPT Image 2 at text in images?
Good, in our tests. It copied a 39 word paragraph onto a brass plaque exactly. It spelled every label in a coffee infographic right. It wrote Welcome correctly in English, Arabic, Russian and Japanese. OpenAI still says exact text placement can go wrong, so check small print before you use an image.
What does GPT Image 2 get wrong?
Exact counts can slip. We asked for five cards in every hand, and one player got far more. OpenAI also says it can struggle to place things in exact spots, and to keep the same character looking the same across several images. Every finished image costs tokens, even if you do not like it. If a run fails, the tokens go back to your balance.
Can GPT Image 2 edit my photos?
Yes. In the playground, pick GPT Image 2, upload one image and say what to change. In the image editor, pick GPT Image 2 Edit. Both cost 20 tokens a result. GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst can also edit one uploaded image in the playground.
What sizes can I make?
You get ten shapes: 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9 and 21:9. Each run makes one image. The playground has no quality or resolution setting, so every image comes out at the model's default.
Can I use the images for my business?
Yes. You own the images you make and can use them for personal or commercial work, like ads, client work and products you sell. You are responsible for what you create and for any image you upload. Read section 6 of the Terms for the exact words. Enhance AI adds no watermark.
