GPT Image 2.5 Flare — the fast OpenAI image slot
Flare is the speed branch of the GPT Image 2.5 line. A frame takes roughly 20–25 seconds and costs 3 ₽ on low quality, so it fits volume work: run a dozen variants, build a cover with a headline, fix an existing photo by description. It does not promise maximum detail — that is what the xhigh and max levels are for.
from 3 ₽ per image
What it does well
- Text in frame: signage, covers, infographics, UI mockups. Copy put in quotes usually comes out readable on the first try.
- Editing an existing shot by instruction: it changes light, background or one detail without repainting the face and composition.
- Combining references: the character from one photo, the outfit from another, the setting from a third.
- Transparent background straight out of the model — handy for logos, icons and stickers.
Six quality levels and price
Quality is picked before the run and changes both price and time. Low is for drafts, high for finals, xhigh and max when the frame goes to print or a large screen.
| Quality | Price per image |
|---|---|
| low — drafts and exploration | from 3 ₽ |
| medium — working version | ≈ 7.9 ₽ |
| high — final for web and social | ≈ 21.5 ₽ |
| xhigh — print and large format | ≈ 42 ₽ |
| max — maximum detail | ≈ 84 ₽ |
When Flare, when something else
Flare wins where pace matters: a series of variants, quick fixes, many similar cards. When the brief is long and contradictory and the frame has to be explained in one message, GPT Image 2 is the safer pick.
For dense typography and posters with a logo the final usually goes to Nano Banana Pro. For a quick fix of an existing photo without 4K ambitions, Nano Banana 2 is cheaper.
You pay in credits, only for a successful generation. If the model fails, credits return to the balance automatically.
FAQ about GPT Image 2.5 Flare
How is Flare different from GPT Image 2?
Flare is faster and cheaper at the lower quality levels, so it suits volume work and drafts. GPT Image 2 is the one to take when the description is long and the frame has many conditions.
Is it good at text in images?
Text is a strength of the GPT Image line. Put the exact copy in quotes and describe the typography in words. Latin script is more stable than Cyrillic, and long lines are still worth checking.
Can I edit my own photo?
Yes. Upload the shot and describe the change in words. The model touches only what you asked for and keeps the face and composition intact.
How much does one image cost?
From 3 ₽ on low quality and around 21.5 ₽ on high. The exact amount is shown in the interface before you run it.
