GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst example: Ballerina in a ruined theatre
Ballerina in a ruined theatre16:9 · 2KPrompt

Cinematic still in a grand abandoned theatre: a ballerina spins centre stage in a pale tulle skirt, a long exposure turning the skirt into a soft swirl of motion while her face and raised arms stay sharp. Shafts of afternoon sun pour through a broken roof onto the stage, dust glittering in the beams, faded red velvet seats and gilded balconies falling into shadow. Painterly chiaroscuro, warm gold and dusty rose palette, 35mm film grain, breathtaking scale. No neon, no text.

GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst example: Dancer's pirouette
Dancer's pirouetteGIF · 9:16 · 9 framesPrompt

A ballet dancer completes a full pirouette in a bright rehearsal studio, her pale pink skirt flaring out as she turns, arms rising into fifth position. Tall windows behind her pour soft daylight across a pale wooden floor, warm cream and blush palette, true-to-life skin and fabric, fixed camera, seamless loop back to the start of the turn.

GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst example: Vector icon set
Vector icon setSVG · 1:1 · vectorPrompt

A set of four flat vector travel icons in a neat 2 by 2 grid on a pale cream background: a suitcase, a paper plane, a compass and a camera. One consistent style: chunky rounded shapes, a thick even outline in deep navy, flat fills from a palette of four colours (coral, teal, mustard, sky blue), small white highlight shapes, generous space around each icon. Crisp, friendly, app-icon quality, no text.

GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst example: Petal studio shoot
Petal studio shoot3:4 · 2KPrompt

K-pop album concept photo of a fictional five-member boy group in an all-white seamless studio. Huge sheets of white chiffon billow through the frame from wind machines, hundreds of pale pink rose petals frozen in mid-air around them. The members wear layered cream and ivory tailoring with silver jewellery; the centre member stares straight into the lens while the others turn and move, slight motion blur on fabric. Soft diffused key light with a gentle backlight glow, airy pastel palette, ultra-detailed skin and fabric, premium album-booklet quality. No neon, no text.

GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst example: Sunset kickflip
Sunset kickflip16:9 · 2KPrompt

Cinematic sports photograph at sunset: a skateboarder airborne over a long concrete ledge in an empty seaside skatepark, frozen at the top of a kickflip with the board spinning under his feet, his loose white shirt billowing. Panning shot: the skater razor sharp while the background streaks into warm horizontal motion blur of orange sky and low sun over the sea. Strong rim light, dust kicked up from the last push, 35mm film grain, rich warm palette. Iconic, premium, full of motion. No neon, no text, no logos.

What GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst does well

GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst is OpenAI's precision-focused image model, built for renders that demand intricate detail and fine control. It handles text-to-image generation and image editing across five aspect ratios and resolutions up to 4K — making it a strong pick when you need clean typography, complex textures, or carefully composed scenes.

Sunburst suits designers, marketers, and developers who need high-fidelity images they can trust at the detail level — product mockups, editorial illustrations, UI assets, or any work where precision matters more than speed.

Intricate detail rendering

Sunburst is tuned for precision. Fine textures, small text, complex patterns, and tightly composed elements come through cleaner than in standard image models.

Text-to-image and editing in one model

Generate from a prompt or upload an existing image and edit it with natural-language instructions. One model handles both workflows without switching tools.

Up to 4K resolution

Render at 1K for fast drafts or push to 4K when you need print-ready or high-density output. Five aspect ratios cover landscape, portrait, and square formats.

Free previews, pay only for keeps

Every render is a free preview. You inspect the result before spending a single credit. Bad generations cost you nothing — kill them and try again.

Commercial-use downloads

Kept takes download at full quality with no watermark. Use them in client work, products, ads, or editorial content with commercial rights included.

Works via studio, API, or AI assistants

Use Sunburst from the Elyum web studio, call it through the REST API, or generate directly from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor via Elyum's MCP server.
