OpenAI GPT Image 2.6 Flare Text-to-Image

OpenAI GPT Image 2.6 Flare Text-to-Image turns natural-language prompts into high-quality images. Flare is designed for everyday image generation and quick iteration.

Why Choose This?

  • Strong prompt fidelity Generate images that closely follow detailed natural-language instructions, including scene layout, visual style, and composition.

  • Accurate text rendering Create images with clearer, more usable in-image text for posters, ads, packaging, and interface mockups.

  • Quality and complexity controls quality sets the rendering detail you pay for; complexity sets how much the model plans the layout before drawing, at no extra cost.

  • Animated GIF and vector SVG output Set output_format to gif for a looping animation of 2 to 16 frames, or to svg for a scalable vector file — icons, logos, flat illustrations.

  • 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
promptYesText description of the desired image.
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. Defaults to 1:1.
resolutionNoOutput resolution: 1k (default), 2k, or 4k.
qualityNoQuality tier: low, medium (default), high, xhigh, or max. Higher tiers allocate more rendering detail and cost more.
complexityNoPlanning before drawing: low, medium, or high (default). Adjust this for simple or detailed, multi-element prompts; the price is the same.
output_formatNopng (default), jpeg, webp, gif (animated), or svg (vector).
frame_countNoGIF only: number of frames, 2 to 16 (default 9).
frame_duration_msNoGIF only: how long each frame shows, 20 to 2000 ms (default 200).

How to Use

  1. Write your prompt — describe the image in detail, including subject, style, lighting, composition, and any text you want to appear.
  2. Pick quality and resolution (optional) — medium / 1k is the default; raise quality for more detail or resolution for larger output.
  3. Lower complexity for simple requests (optional) — high is the default; try low or medium for short, simple prompts.
  4. Choose aspect ratio (optional) — 1:1 for square, 2:3 or 9:16 for portrait, 3:2 or 16:9 for landscape, up to 3:1 / 1:3 panoramas.
  5. Submit — run the model and download your generated image.

Pricing

Pricing varies by quality and resolution. complexity does not change the price.

Quality1k2k4k
low$0.045$0.075$0.135
medium$0.075$0.13$0.225
high$0.09$0.15$0.27
xhigh$0.16$0.27$0.48
max$0.36$0.60$1.00
  • GIF: the image price × (1 + frame_count / 16) — for example $0.117188 for 9 frames at medium 1k.
  • SVG: the image price + $0.015.
  • PNG, JPEG, and WebP: use the table price with no format surcharge. frame_duration_ms does not change the price.

Notes

  • prompt is the only required field.
  • GIF and SVG output are available on text-to-image only.
  • frame_count and frame_duration_ms apply only to GIF output. Playback timing is rounded to 10 ms.
  • Resolution is a size tier, not a fixed width and height. For GIFs, frames share the size budget, so more frames can mean smaller individual frames.

Gpt Image 2.6 Flare Text To Image API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/openai/gpt-image-2.6-flare/text-to-image 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. Examples for Gpt Image 2.6 Flare Text To Image below.
