What’s new / how it works

The upgraded GPT-Image-1.5 model improves realism, prompt following, and editability. In ChatGPT, you can create from scratch or select an area of an image to edit; in the API, call the gpt-image-1.5 model (with up-to-date snapshots) to generate or edit programmatically.

Quick start

In ChatGPT (no code)

1. Open a chat and describe the image you want; optionally upload a reference.

2. To edit, select part of the image and describe the change (e.g., “replace the background with a cityscape”).

3. Regenerate for alternates; save or insert into your doc or deck.

In the API (developers)

• Use gpt-image-1.5 from the Models list (check the latest snapshot/alias).

• Send a prompt for generation, or supply an image + mask for edits in a single call.

• Tune latency/quality trade-offs per your workflow and rate limits.

Practical examples

• Marketing: generate hero images, then mask-edit product colours for each region.

• Product: iterate UI mock visuals with consistent lighting and perspective.

• E-commerce: bulk create background variants while preserving logos and faces for brand fidelity.
