What can you edit with GPT Image 2.6?

Most edits fit in one sentence. These are the jobs people try first.

Remove, replace or recolor one thing

Take an object out of someone’s hand, swap white chairs for wooden ones, turn a vase cobalt blue or add a pair of glasses. GPT Image 2.6 follows the instruction closely, so only the thing you named changes.

Product shots, ads and translated signs

Turn a plain product photo into a billboard mockup, change the season of the scene in a follow-up edit, or translate the text on a sign or menu while keeping its lettering and layout.

Clean up travel and everyday photos

Remove strangers walking behind you, rescue a dark backlit shot or move yourself to a beach at sunset. These are edits that used to need masks and layers in a desktop editor.

Anime, restoration, headshots and hairstyles

Why edit photos here

Edits only what you ask

GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst is strong at following instructions. Ask for a new background and you get a new background, not a new face. If something else shifts, the slider makes it easy to spot.

Free to try

During the launch period your free daily generations on this page can use GPT Image 2.6. After that, the Pro model uses credits and the free Basic model stays free.

No watermark

What is GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst?

GPT Image 2.6 is an image generation and editing model from OpenAI; Sunburst is the label of the GPT Image 2.6 version we run. It is good at following written instructions, which makes it well suited to editing a photo you already have rather than creating one from scratch.

Can I use GPT Image 2.6 for free?

Yes, during the launch period. Free daily generations on this page run on GPT Image 2.6 in standard quality, 1 a day without an account. When the launch period ends, GPT Image 2.6 becomes a Pro model that uses credits, and the Basic model stays free.

Do I need an OpenAI account or API key?

No. We run the model for you, so there is nothing to install and no key to paste. You only add a photo and an instruction.

Will GPT Image 2.6 change my face?

It tries not to. Tell it what to change and, if it matters, what to keep, for example "keep my face and pose the same". Small or blurry faces are harder, so compare the result with the slider and run it again if needed.

What is the difference between Basic and Pro?

Basic is our everyday model and is covered by the free daily generations. Pro uses GPT Image 2.6 for edits that need closer instruction following. Outside the launch period, Pro costs 2 credits in standard quality and 3 in HD.

Can I create an image from text only?

Yes. Switch "Start from" to Just text, describe the subject, style and setting, and generate. You do not need to upload anything for that.

Is it safe to upload my photos?

Your photo is only used to make your image. To generate, it is sent to our AI provider, which keeps it for up to 72 hours. Results without an account are deleted after 2 days, and saved results after 30 days. Content that breaks our content policy is blocked.

Which files work, and can I use the results commercially?

JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC up to 20 MB. Results have no watermark, and you can use them commercially as long as you have the rights to the photo you uploaded.
