OpenAI GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit

OpenAI GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit transforms one or more reference images using natural-language instructions. Sunburst is designed for detailed visual work and image editing.

Why Choose This?

  • Natural-language image editing Edit images by describing the changes you want in plain language; add a mask or a markup layer when the change must land in an exact place.

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

  • 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.

  • 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 edit.
imagesYesReference images to edit (up to 16).
mask_imageNoMask for the first image: white marks the area to edit, black the area to keep (a PNG where transparent marks the area to edit also works). Resized to the first image automatically.
markup_imageNoTransparent PNG of circles, arrows, or notes drawn over the first image to show where and how to edit it. Use either mask_image or markup_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. Auto-detected from the first input image if not specified.
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, or webp.

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. Lower complexity for simple requests (optional) — high is the default; try low or medium for short, simple prompts.
  5. Choose aspect ratio (optional) — auto-detected from the first input image if not specified.
  6. Submit — run the model and download your edited image.

Pricing

Pricing varies by quality and resolution. Prices below include one input image. Each additional input image adds $0.015, and a mask_image or markup_image adds $0.015.

Quality1k2k4k
low$0.06$0.09$0.15
medium$0.09$0.145$0.24
high$0.105$0.165$0.285
xhigh$0.175$0.285$0.495
max$0.375$0.615$1.015

complexity and the choice of PNG, JPEG, or WebP do not add separate charges.

Notes

  • Both images and prompt are required fields.
  • mask_image and markup_image apply to the first input image; use one or the other.
  • A markup image should contain only annotations on a transparent PNG background and match the first input image's dimensions.
  • Up to 16 reference images per request; the output aspect ratio follows the first image unless aspect_ratio is set.
  • Resolution is a size tier; actual width and height depend on the aspect ratio.

Gpt Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/openai/gpt-image-2.6-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. Examples for Gpt Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit below.

Gpt Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Gpt Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit API?

Gpt Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit is a OpenAI model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit transforms one or more reference images using natural-language instructions, with a focus on precision, visual fidelity, and consistent detail across iterative edits for polished creative work, brand assets, product imagery, and production workflows. Ready-to-use REST inference API. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Gpt Image 2.6 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 Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples for submitting requests and polling results. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/openai/openai-gpt-image-2.6-sunburst-edit.

How much does Gpt Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit cost per run or per second?

Gpt Image 2.6 Sunburst Edit starts at $0.0855 per run or per second. 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 2.6 Sunburst Edit accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `complexity`, `markup_image`. 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-2.6-sunburst-edit.

How do I get started with the Gpt Image 2.6 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 2.6 Sunburst Edit outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (OpenAI). Check the provider's applicable terms and WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service before commercial use.
