Why GPT Image 2.5 Flare is good

Fast OpenAI default

GPT Image 2.5 Flare is Elyum's default OpenAI image model: text to image and image editing without a long wait. Use it when you need a still back quickly and will keep only the takes that work.

Natural light

Renders favor natural light — the look Elyum ships this model for. That reads well on product pages, ads, and social stills that need to sit next to photographs.

Transparent backgrounds

Ask for a transparent background and you get a cutout you can drop on a site, slide, or packshot. Five aspect ratios cover common frames for web and social.

Text to image and editing

Start from a prompt or attach a reference and edit. Elyum exposes both capabilities for this model, so you can generate a new still or change one you already have.

Keep or kill pricing

Every take is a free preview. You pay only if you keep it, at 6 credits ($0.06). Kill a miss and the charge is refunded. Kept files have no watermark and include commercial use.

One studio, 50+ models

GPT Image 2.5 Flare shares one credit balance with Elyum's other video, image, and audio models. Work from the web studio, or from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor via MCP and REST.

  • Lifestyle stills for lookbooks and marketplaces that need a natural-light, photographic read.
