Today, we’re releasing a new version of ChatGPT Images(opens in a new window), powered by our new flagship image generation model. Now, whether you’re creating something from scratch or editing a photo, you’ll get the output you’re picturing. It makes precise edits while keeping details intact, and generates images up to 4x faster. Alongside, we’re introducing a new Images feature(opens in a new window) within ChatGPT, designed to make image generation delightful—to spark inspiration and make creative exploration effortless.
The new Images model is rolling out today in ChatGPT for all users, and is available in the API as GPT Image 1.5. The new Images experience in ChatGPT is also rolling out today for most users, with Business and Enterprise access coming later.
Now, when you ask for edits to an uploaded image, the model adheres to your intent more reliably—down to the small details—changing only what you ask for while keeping elements like lighting, composition, and people’s appearance consistent across inputs, outputs, and subsequent edits.
This unlocks results that match your intent—more useful photo edits, more believable clothing and hairstyle try-ons, alongside stylistic filters and conceptual transformations that retain the essence of the original image. Together, these improvements mean ChatGPT can act as a creative studio in your pocket, capable of both practical edits and expressive reimaginings.
The model excels at different types of editing—including adding, subtracting, combining, blending, and transposing—so you get the changes you want without losing what makes the image special.
The model’s creativity shines through transformations that change and add elements—like text and layout—to bring ideas to life, while preserving important details. These transformations work for both simple and more intricate concepts, and are easy to try using preset styles and ideas in the new ChatGPT Images(opens in a new window) feature—no written prompt required.
The model follows instructions more reliably than our initial version. This enables more precise edits as well as more intricate original compositions, where relationships between elements are preserved as intended.
The model takes another step ahead in text rendering, capable of handling denser and smaller text.
The model also improves on additional dimensions that translate to more immediately usable outputs, like rendering many small faces and how natural outputs look.
In addition to generating images by describing what you’d like to see in a message, we’re introducing a dedicated home for Images(opens in a new window) in ChatGPT—available in the sidebar through the mobile app and on chatgpt.com—to make exploring and trying images faster and easier. It includes dozens of preset filters and prompts to jump-start inspiration, updated regularly to reflect emerging trends.
Together, these upgrades let you create images that better match your vision, from small edits to full reimaginings.
We reran many of the examples from our initial image generation launch to evaluate performance. The model shows clear improvements across a range of cases, though results remain imperfect. While this release represents meaningful progress, there is still significant room for improvement in future iterations.
You’ll see more consistent preservation of branded logos and key visuals across edits, making it well suited for marketing and brand work like graphics and logo creation, and for ecommerce teams generating full product image catalogs (variants, scenes, and angles) from a single-source image.
Enterprises and startups across industries, including creative tools, e-commerce, marketing software, and more are already using GPT Image 1.5.
The new ChatGPT Images(opens in a new window) model is rolling out now to all ChatGPT users and API users globally today across surfaces. It works across models, so you don’t need to select anything in order to use it. The version of ChatGPT Images that launched earlier this year will remain available to all users as a custom GPT(opens in a new window).
We believe we’re still at the beginning of what image generation can enable. Today’s update is a meaningful step forward with more to come, from finer-grained edits to richer, more detailed outputs across languages.
