GPT Image 2.6 Demos & Prompts

Twelve GPT Image 2.6 edits, each with the reference images, the prompt that was sent and the image that came back. Copy a prompt, swap in your own references, and run it in the generator.

01Edit by Markup

A circle on the cushion, crosses on the plant and the rug, an arrow for the lamp. GPT Image 2.6 reads each red mark as an instruction and leaves the sofa, the art and the window light untouched.

InputLiving-room photo with red markup circling a cushion, crossing out a plant and a rug, and an arrow pointing the lamp to the right
Prompt

Follow the red markup: make the circled cushion blue, remove the crossed-out plant and rug, and move the floor lamp to the right. Keep everything else exactly as it is.

OutputThe same living room edited by GPT Image 2.6: blue cushion, plant and rug removed, lamp moved to the right

02Circle One Object and Recolor It

The markup example from the GPT Image 2.6 API docs. A single red circle names the vase; the prompt names the color and asks for the circle to disappear from the finished photo.

InputKitchen photo with a red circle drawn around a striped vase on the dining table
Prompt

Recolor the striped vase inside the red circle to solid cobalt blue ceramic. Keep its shape, the dried stems, and the rest of the kitchen unchanged. Remove the red circle from the finished photo.

OutputThe kitchen edited by GPT Image 2.6 Flare with a cobalt blue vase and no red circle

03Sketch to Photoreal Landscape

A marker doodle of a valley at sunrise becomes a photograph. GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst keeps the mountains, the river bend and the tree where the pen put them and invents only the materials and the light.

InputHand-drawn sketch of a river valley with mountains, sun, clouds and a tree
Prompt

Turn this drawing into a photorealistic image. Preserve the exact layout, proportions, and perspective. Choose realistic materials and lighting consistent with the sketch intent. Do not add new elements or text.

OutputPhotorealistic river valley at sunrise generated by GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst from the sketch

04Sketch to Animation-Ready Character

A ballpoint owl on lined paper comes back as a clean cartoon character with the same proportions, the kind of asset that goes straight into a GIF or a sticker set.

InputPen sketch of an owl drawn on lined notebook paper
Prompt

Turn this sketch into a clean cartoon owl character with soft shading and a plain background. Keep the proportions and pose of the drawing, ready to animate.

OutputFinished cartoon owl character generated by GPT Image 2.6 from the sketch

05Dress a Person from Product Photos

One photo of a person plus three garment shots. GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst puts the jacket, the top and the boots on her and leaves her face, her pose and the museum behind her alone.

InputWoman standing in a museum gallery, the person to be dressed
InputBeige jacket product photo used as a clothing reference
InputWhite tank top product photo used as a clothing reference
InputGray boots product photo used as a clothing reference
Prompt

Edit the image to dress the woman using the provided clothing images. Do not change her face, facial features, skin tone, body shape, pose, or identity in any way. Preserve the original background, lighting, and camera angle. Only replace her clothing with the items shown in the reference images.

OutputThe same woman in the museum now wearing the jacket, tank top and boots, generated by GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst

06Combine Two References into One Scene

The street scene from one photo, the dog from another. GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst places the dog beside the woman and matches the lighting and the depth of field so the two never read as a paste-up.

InputWoman standing on a city street, the base scene
InputDog photo used as the second reference
Prompt

Place the dog from the second image into the setting of image 1, right next to the woman, use the same style of lighting, composition and background. Do not change anything else.

OutputThe dog placed next to the woman in the street scene by GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst

07Recolor One Element, Keep the Rest

Same knight, same cliff, same castle. Only the armor changes from green and gold to red and gold, and GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst holds the face, the hair and the pose through the edit.

InputRed-haired knight in green and gold armor on a cliff overlooking mountains and a castle at sunset
Prompt

Change the armor from green and gold to red and gold. Keep the face, hair, pose, the cliff and the castle exactly as they are.

OutputThe same knight edited by GPT Image 2.6 to wear red and gold armor with the scene unchanged

08Transfer a Visual Style

A pixel-art game screen is the only reference. GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst borrows its palette, its grid and its chunky outlines to draw a subject that never appears in the source.

InputPixel-art game screen used as a style reference
Prompt

Use the same style from the input image and generate a man riding a motorcycle on a white background.

OutputPixel-art man riding a motorcycle on a white background, generated by GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst in the reference style

09Swap Only the Chairs

A one-object edit on a real room photo. The white chairs become wood; the camera angle, the floor shadows and everything else in the kitchen stay where they were.

InputKitchen photo with white dining chairs
Prompt

In this room photo, replace ONLY the white chairs with chairs made of wood. Preserve camera angle, room lighting, floor shadows, and surrounding objects. Keep all other aspects of the image unchanged. Photorealistic contact shadows and fabric texture.

OutputThe same kitchen with wooden chairs, edited by GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst

10Product Shot to Highway Billboard

A plain bottle photo becomes a sunset billboard with the tagline spelled exactly as written. Flare has been tuned for this kind of poster and product layout in the 2.6 release.

InputShampoo bottle product photo on a plain background
Prompt

Create a realistic billboard mockup of the shampoo on a highway scene during sunset. Billboard text (EXACT, verbatim, no extra characters): "Fresh and clean". Typography: bold sans-serif, high contrast, centered, clean kerning. Ensure text appears once and is perfectly legible. No watermarks, no logos.

OutputHighway billboard at sunset showing the shampoo bottle with the text Fresh and clean, generated by GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst

11Change the Season of a Finished Ad

A second-turn edit on the billboard above. One short sentence swaps the sunset for snowfall, and GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst keeps the board, the bottle and the tagline exactly where the first render put them.

InputThe sunset shampoo billboard from the previous demo, used as the input
Prompt

Make it look like a winter evening with snowfall.

OutputThe same shampoo billboard on a snowy winter evening, edited by GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst

12One Prompt at Three Complexity Levels

No reference image, one paper-cut prompt, three settings. Low gives a clean scene fast, medium adds crests and laurels, high fills the stands. The new complexity dial decides how much planning happens before rendering.

Prompt

Paper-cut collage of a football team lifting a trophy in a packed stadium under a CHAMPIONS banner, layered card stock with visible paper edges. Rendered three times with complexity set to low, medium and high.

OutputThree paper-cut football celebration scenes rendered by GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst at low, medium and high complexity
