ChatGPT Images 2.5 for sharper details and faster generation
Generate and edit images with improved detail, precision, and speed, using templates and sketches.
ChatGPT Images 2.5 brings sharper details, more precise editing, and faster image generation.
We’re also introducing new ways to create and share: Start from a template. Open Images → Templates, choose a template, and customize the details. ChatGPT may ask follow-up questions to help refine your request. Turn a sketch into an image. On mobile, type @ in the message box and select Sketch. Draw your idea, then describe the image you want to create. Edit and comment. On mobile, open a generated image full-screen to edit it or add comments to tell ChatGPT what you’d like to change. Share a prompt. Share the prompt for a generated image so others can create their own version. Some users will also see animated dots and a Snake game while images are generated. The loading experience varies by platform and rollout; Snake isn’t available in Work mode. Templates are not yet available in Work mode. Existing image-generation limits are unchanged.
