OpenAI GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit

OpenAI GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit transforms one or more reference images using natural-language instructions. Sunburst is the precision-focused GPT Image 2.5 tier that spends more time per image for extra fidelity on intricate detail.

Why Choose This?

  • Natural-language image editing Edit images by describing the changes you want in plain language — no manual masking or complex editing workflow required.

  • Works with reference images Use up to 16 input images as the visual source for edits, transformations, or style adjustments.

  • Five quality tiers Choose from low drafts to max fidelity and pay only for the detail you need.

  • Up to 4K output and flexible aspect ratios Square, portrait, landscape, and panoramic outputs at 1k, 2k, or 4k.

  • Production-ready API Access the model through a ready-to-use REST inference API for fast integration into applications and workflows.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
imagesYesReference images to edit (up to 16).
promptYesText description of the desired edit.
aspect_ratioNoAspect ratio: 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9, 2:1, 1:2, 3:1, 1:3, 9:21. Auto-detected from the first input image if not specified.

Quality Tiers

GPT Image 2.5 exposes five quality tiers. Pick the lowest tier that meets your need; every step up adds detail, latency, and cost.

TierBest for
lowFast drafts, thumbnails, layout exploration.
mediumThe balanced default for most production images.
highDetailed marketing visuals, text-heavy designs, product shots.
xhighFine textures, intricate scenes, print-ready assets.
maxThe highest-fidelity output the model offers.

How to Use

  1. Upload reference images — add up to 16 images you want to edit.
  2. Write your prompt — clearly describe the changes, style adjustments, or composition edits you want.
  3. Pick quality and resolution (optional)medium / 1k is the default; raise quality for more detail or resolution for larger output.
  4. Choose aspect ratio (optional) — auto-detected from the first input image if not specified.
  5. Submit — run the model and download your edited image.

Example Prompt

Turn this product photo into a premium studio advertisement with soft cinematic lighting, a clean beige background, subtle shadows, realistic reflections, and luxury brand aesthetics

Pricing

  • Creative retouching — Change backgrounds, lighting, styling, or composition with natural-language instructions.
  • Marketing adaptation — Rework existing brand assets into new campaign visuals.
  • Social media content — Edit images into platform-ready formats for posts, ads, and promos.
  • Design iteration — Explore multiple visual directions from the same base image.

Pro Tips

  • Be specific about what should stay unchanged and what should be modified.
  • Mention visual style clearly, such as photorealistic, luxury editorial, minimal, cinematic, or flat lay.
  • Start at medium quality and 1k; move up a tier only if a specific detail is missing.
  • If using multiple reference images, make sure they are visually clear and relevant to the intended output.

Notes

  • Both images and prompt are required fields.
  • Up to 16 reference images per request; the output aspect ratio follows the first image unless aspect_ratio is set.
  • Requests containing sexual content are rejected before generation and are not charged.

Gpt Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/openai/gpt-image-2.5-sunburst/edit with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs.

Gpt Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Gpt Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit API?

Gpt Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit is a OpenAI model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit edits one or more reference images from natural-language instructions, with five quality tiers up to 4K. Sunburst is the precision-focused GPT Image 2.5 tier that spends more time per image for extra fidelity on intricate detail. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Gpt Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/openai/openai-gpt-image-2.5-sunburst-edit.

How much does Gpt Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit cost per run?

Gpt Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit starts at $0.039 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Gpt Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_sync_mode`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/openai/openai-gpt-image-2.5-sunburst-edit.

How do I get started with the Gpt Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit API?

Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.

Can I use Gpt Image 2.5 Sunburst Edit outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (OpenAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
