Create from a description or refine a reference image. Compare the familiar Image 2 controls with the newer Image 2.5 options.
Opens Clico Web in a new tab. Review your prompt and settings before sending.
If a prompt already works for a campaign, keep that result when you try another model. Compare the same subject, framing and text instead of letting a different art direction decide the winner.
Compare the settings you can actually select in Clico.
Image 2 offers low, medium and high quality. Image 2.5 adds Extra high and Max with the same reference limit and aspect ratios in Clico. The token rates match, but the usage required for a finished image can differ.
| Model | Output size | Quality | Image inputs | Aspect ratios |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPT Image 2 | Model managed | Low, Medium, High | Up to 5 references | 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9 |
| GPT Image 2.5 Flare | Model managed | Low, Medium, High, Extra high, Max | Up to 5 references | 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9 |
| GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | Model managed | Low, Medium, High, Extra high, Max | Up to 5 references | 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9 |
These are Clico controls. A provider may expose additional features on its own platform. Availability depends on your account and the generation provider.
Use one focal subject, specify the light and leave space for the layout. Check the actual letters and material details before you use the result.
These works illustrate composition and creative direction. They are not verified outputs from GPT Image 2.
Create an editorial still life of a blue ceramic vase on a pale stone table. Soft light from the left, a short shadow on the right, one peach flower. Place the vase in the left third and leave the right half empty. No text.
The model, references and actual output usage determine the charge. Quality is not a fixed price per picture.
Image generation uses the selected model’s metering rates. The same rate can still produce a different bill when the request uses more tokens. Reference images can add input usage, and generating multiple images adds output usage.
The table shows the Clico metering rates reviewed on September 10, 2026, in USD per million billing tokens. It is not a price per image or per second. Your account balance and current plan determine access.
| Model | Text input | Image input | Image output |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPT Image 2 | $5.00 | $8.00 | $39.00 |
| GPT Image 2.5 Flare | $5.00 | $8.00 | $39.00 |
| GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | $5.00 | $8.00 | $39.00 |
Compare Clico plans and credits. For upstream pricing, consult the linked model sources below; upstream list prices and Clico usage charges are different.
Model positioning comes from the linked provider listings. Clico’s exposed controls are listed above.
The listing describes image generation and reference editing through the Images API. Keep existing successful results as a comparison when evaluating the 2.5 variants.
Provider listing read September 10, 2026. Provider features and pricing can differ from Clico.No. Prepare your prompt and settings, continue to Clico Web, sign in if needed, then review and explicitly send the request.
Use supported PNG, JPEG or WebP references within the selected model’s limits. Each image can be up to 8 MB. State what to preserve and what to change. An instruction does not guarantee that every unmentioned pixel remains identical.
The prompt, references, model and settings all affect the output. Gallery references are not verified model tests. The recorded experiments on this site describe their own settings and scope.
