Start on GPT Images 2.5 Flare — a still you can post, mock, or keep
Flare is the everyday model in the GPT Images 2.5 family, and it is already selected in the generator below. Write the poster line, the storefront name, or the product scene. Generate at 1K while you try the wording; when the still is the one you want, run that same prompt at 2K or 4K.
You can also upload a photo and describe one change. If the next job is a second and third pass on the same person or product, switch to GPT Images 2.5 Sunburst — that is the precision pick, and it takes longer per still.
From a prompt
Storefront type, a rooftop still, an unbranded bottle
Three Flare prompts: readable storefront type, a social action still, an unbranded bottle.
Reference image A bookstore front with every sign spelled correctly
Example prompt output
A stylish young European woman standing in front of a premium retro-futuristic bookstore at night, wearing a sharp black coat and silver boots, holding a red hardcover book in one hand. The storefront is filled with elegant illuminated typography and poster design. The main sign above the entrance clearly reads: “THE MIDNIGHT ARCHIVE”. A large window poster clearly reads: “OPEN UNTIL 2 AM”. A smaller promotional sign beside the door clearly reads: “RARE BOOKS • ART • DESIGN”. The red book in her hand has the clearly legible title: “MEMORIES OF TOMORROW”. Sophisticated editorial composition, cinematic blue and amber lighting, realistic glass reflections, clean typography hierarchy, premium graphic design, photorealistic fashion photography, highly detailed, all text perfectly spelled and clearly readable.

Reference image A rooftop action shot with the wind mid-motion
Example prompt output
A handsome young Mediterranean man standing on the rooftop of an old apartment building just before a storm, wearing a loose white shirt and dark trousers, struggling to pull a huge white bedsheet from a clothesline as powerful wind turns it into a sail around him, dramatic dark clouds approaching behind the city skyline, warm sunlight breaking through one gap in the clouds, poetic cinematic realism, expressive full-body action.

First still
From a prompt to a file you can keep
Spell it, try 1K, then bump the size if this is the take.
- 1
Spell the scene or the words
Type the poster line, the storefront name, or the product scene. A prompt is enough; add a photo only when you want to change a picture you already have.
- 2
Generate at 1K while you try the line
1K is the default. Run it, read the type, change a word if the line is off.
- 3
Re-run the same prompt at 2K or 4K if you keep it
When the still is the one you want, generate that same prompt at 2K or 4K for the listing, the post, or the print file.

Download the still
Save the file and drop it on the post, the listing, or the prototype.
