GPT Image 2.5 AI Image Generator

GPT Image 2.5 is the newer of the two OpenAI image models on Pixmint. It costs 15 credits per image, the same as GPT Image 2. It is also the model Pixmint chooses by default for photo edits and for the shadow, object and background tools when you are signed in, because in our testing it was the best all-round editor.

It generates from text, accepts up to four reference images and works in the AI image editor with a real transparency mask when you paint an area. In Pixmint's setup it returns images of up to 1536 px on the long side; free-credit images are limited to 1024 px with a small watermark.

In our examples GPT Image 2.5 shares the family look of GPT Image 2: clean, complete, art-directed compositions, bold typography and well-framed subjects. Its night scene and illustrations are tidy and readable at a glance.

These six images were generated with GPT Image 2.5 on Pixmint. The exact prompt is printed under each one, and you can copy any of them into the tool above. Each prompt was run once, so treat the notes as impressions from a single sample, not as a benchmark.

• Dependable all-rounder. Posters, products, portraits, illustrations and scenes all came back finished and well framed.
• Best default for editing. It is the model behind Pixmint's photo tools for signed-in users, and the default in the editor.
• Clear text and layouts. The poster headline and banner were crisp and correct.
• Consistent composition. Subjects are well placed, which saves cropping and re-prompting.

• When you are editing documents, the shadow remover routes to Nano Banana 2, because in our own tests GPT models sometimes altered text under shadows.
• At 15 credits it is not the cheapest; draft on the free model first if you are exploring.
• Single samples; your prompt may behave differently.

Against GPT Image 2, same price, newer generation: the two look related, and the GPT Image 2.5 vs GPT Image 2 page shows all six example prompts side by side so you can judge for yourself.

Against Nano Banana 2, which costs 18 credits, GPT Image 2.5 looks more designed and Nano Banana 2 more documentary and photographic. Our Nano Banana 2 vs GPT Image 2.5 page compares them directly. Against the Seedream models it is the more polished and graphic option.

The comparisons here are qualitative and based on the example images on this site. Image generation varies from run to run, so run your own prompt on two models before you commit. The models page lists every model with its price.

GPT Image 2.5 costs 15 credits ($0.15) per image. Four images in one go cost 60 credits ($0.60). Failed images are refunded automatically, so you only pay for images you receive.

One credit is worth about $0.01 at the planned list price. The signup bonus of 50 credits and the 20 daily credits are enough to try several of the paid models, and the photo tools cost 15 credits per run.

Planned paid plans (not available yet): 500 credits for $4.90, 1,100 credits for $9.90, 2,400 credits for $19.90, or a monthly plan of 1,200 credits for $9.90. Paid plans are planned but not available yet, so nothing can be bought today (see pricing). If the largest planned pack (2,400 credits) goes on sale, it would cover roughly 160 GPT Image 2.5 images.

Guests (no account) get 5 free Seedream 5.0 Flash images and 3 photo-tool uses per day. Signed-in users get 50 credits on their first sign-in plus 20 credits every day. Free outputs are up to 1024 px with a small watermark and are for personal non-commercial use.
