Create a precise editorial product infographic on warm white with navy and orange accents. Main title exactly: BREW / 03. Show one realistic exploded-view manual pour-over coffee brewer in the center: copper gooseneck kettle upper left, cone paper filter directly above a transparent glass dripper, directly above a clear glass carafe with amber coffee. These parts share a coherent physical perspective. Three numbered callouts with thin leader lines: 01 GRIND — 20 g; 02 WATER — 320 ml; 03 BREW — 3:00. Bottom right a small neat table with exactly two rows: RATIO | 1:16 and TEMP | 92°C. Small caption exactly: A calmer morning. All text sharp and spelled exactly; tasteful technical precision, physically credible materials, generous whitespace, no invented extra labels.

Make a localized product edit. Change the copper gooseneck kettle to brushed stainless steel while preserving its exact silhouette, position and handle. Replace only 320 ml with 300 ml and only 1:16 with 1:15. Keep BREW / 03, all callout numbers, 20 g, 3:00, 92°C, A calmer morning, the glass dripper/carafe, coffee, perspective and all layout unchanged.

What is GPT Image 2.6?

GPT Image 2.6 is OpenAI’s image model family for creating visuals from text and editing existing images. OpenAI describes Flare as a choice for fast iteration and Sunburst as a choice for detailed work and precise edits. For poster lettering, product structure or material changes, describe the goal explicitly and inspect the resulting details.

The official model also supports complexity control, markup-guided editing, SVG and GIF output. Model support does not mean every website offers every option. AwakePix currently uses opaque 1K PNG output with text or one reference image. Special-format examples above show capabilities. This is an independent tool site, not an official OpenAI page.

GPT Image 2.6 vs GPT Image 2.5

GPT Image 2.6 extends the generation and editing workflow with complexity control, markup guidance and GIF / SVG output; those extra options are not yet enabled here. Start with a free 2.5 preview to explore a composition or a short prompt. Choose 2.6 to try the typography and targeted edits shown on this page. A version number does not replace checking results on your own prompts.

GPT Image 2.6 prompt tips

  • Name the deliverable and composition: poster, product image or storyboard; specify placement and whitespace.
  • Provide exact Chinese text, label its hierarchy and proofread every character after generation.
  • Specify product materials, silhouette, lighting and how parts connect, rather than just asking for a premium look.
  • For an edit, state what changes: for example, replace only the copper finish with brushed stainless steel.
  • Separately state what stays: silhouette, position, text and palette. Refine one direction at a time.

  • Content creators: article covers and social visuals.

  • Storytellers: compose a multi-panel storyboard within one image.

GPT Image 2.6 FAQ

Is GPT Image 2.6 free?

Sign in and verify your email for one free GPT Image 2.6 image per UTC day; availability may vary at peak times. Confirmed failures do not use your account allowance. Continue for 10 credits per image after use. Guests can try GPT Image 2.5 free.

Do I need an account?

Yes. The daily free trial requires sign-in and a verified email; paid generations use account credits. Examples and prompts can be browsed without signing in.

How many credits does GPT Image 2.6 cost?

Flare and Sunburst each cost 10 credits per image, for text-to-image or one-reference editing. Check the selected model and total before submitting.

How many images can I generate at once?

Free generation makes one image. Paid generation offers 1, 2 or 4 images for 10, 20 or 40 credits. Each image generates and downloads independently; confirmed failed images are refunded individually.

Can I generate SVG files?

SVG is not supported on AwakePix yet: our provider channel has not enabled it. The current GPT Image 2.6 generator exports PNG, not vectors.

Can I generate GIFs or transparent backgrounds?

These options are coming soon and are not enabled in this generator. The GIF and transparent sticker examples demonstrate capabilities, not currently available site features.

Can I use a reference image?

Yes, upload one reference image and describe the edit. Multiple references and markup-guided editing are not enabled here. Specify what to change and what to preserve.

What is the difference between Flare and Sunburst?

OpenAI positions Flare for speed and Sunburst for demanding detail and precise edits. This page starts with Flare; you can switch to Sunburst. Results vary by prompt.

How accurate is Chinese text?

Our night-market sample has readable Chinese headings, labels and times. A few samples cannot guarantee accuracy. Review every character, especially small text, numbers and dates.

Can I use the images commercially?

Works generated with paid credits may be used commercially. Works generated with a free allowance are for personal, non-commercial use only. All use must comply with the Acceptable Use Policy and applicable third-party model terms, and respect copyright, trademarks, privacy and likeness rights.

How long are generated images kept?

Paid GPT Image 2.6 results appear in your account history. This workflow currently sets no fixed automatic expiry; that is not a promise of permanent storage. Download a backup. Free results and uploaded originals follow separate retention rules.

Should I choose GPT Image 2.6 or Nano Banana?

Compare the task you actually need: typography, product materials, local edits or style exploration. Use the same prompt and reference before choosing. We have not established one model as best for every task; see the comparison guide below.

What happens if generation fails?

Deducted credits are automatically returned after a task is confirmed failed. Processing or an unconfirmed status is not a failure. Check your history before resubmitting; contact support if the task remains unresolved.

How long does generation take?

Four PNG generation and single-reference edit tests on November 5, 2026 took about 10–35 seconds. These are measured task times, not full site-flow timings or a guarantee for every run.

What size and format can I download?

The current GPT Image 2.6 workflow produces one opaque PNG at the 1K tier. Exact pixel dimensions depend on the selected aspect ratio.

Can I reproduce these examples exactly?

You can copy the original prompts; edits also require the original image. Outputs vary, so identical prompts do not guarantee identical pixels. Features labeled coming soon cannot yet be reproduced on this site.

Is this an official OpenAI website?

No. AwakePix is an independent tool site. GPT Image is an OpenAI model family. Official model capabilities differ from the features enabled here; follow this page and the generator options.
