What is GPT Image 1.5 Edit?
GPT Image 1.5 Edit is OpenAI’s flagship image editing model, designed specifically for precise, natural-language-driven modifications to existing images. Unlike traditional image editing tools that require manual masking, layer management, and technical expertise, GPT Image 1.5 Edit understands your intent through simple text prompts and applies targeted changes while preserving everything else.
The model excels at understanding complex textual instructions and applying contextual edits that maintain the original style, composition, and visual integrity of your images. Whether you’re refining product photography, adjusting creative assets, or iterating on design concepts, GPT Image 1.5 Edit delivers professional-quality results through conversation.
Key Features
Strong Visual Understanding
GPT Image 1.5 Edit doesn’t just process pixels—it understands the semantic meaning of your images. The model interprets complex instructions and applies targeted edits that match both intent and context, changing only what you ask for while preserving critical details like lighting, composition, and facial likeness.
Intelligent Image Editing
The model supports a comprehensive range of editing operations:
- Add or remove objects with seamless integration into the scene
- Swap backgrounds while maintaining subject consistency
- Retouch faces with identity-preserving precision
- Adjust colors and lighting for mood and tone refinement
- Edit text and graphics with reliable, crisp rendering
- Crop and resize with intelligent composition awareness
- Apply hex color control for brand-accurate color matching
Multi-Image Support
Accept one or more reference images to guide the editing process. This enables powerful workflows like style transfer, visual consistency across assets, and complex composite operations.
Input Fidelity Control
The unique input_fidelity parameter lets you control how closely the output adheres to your source material. High fidelity preserves exact details like faces and logos, while lower settings give the model creative freedom to reinterpret elements—perfect for concept exploration versus production work.
Flexible Quality-Latency Tradeoffs
Choose between low, medium, and high quality settings based on your workflow needs:
- High quality: Production-ready visuals for final deliverables
- Medium quality: Rapid iteration during creative development
- Low quality: Fast concept exploration and rough drafts
