# GPT Image 2.6

> Pictures from words or from up to sixteen of your own, in two ways, at sizes up to 3840 × 2160 or one of your own, with a mask or notes to guide a change.

**GPT Image 2.6** makes pictures from your words, or changes up to sixteen of your own pictures with words. When Studio offers it, you find it under **Pictures** on Studio's home and **Images** in **Choose a model**.

## What it takes and makes

### Make — words, and pictures if you like, to a picture

| Setting | What it takes |
| --- | --- |
| Your words | Required — up to 2,000 characters |
| Pictures | Up to 16 pictures (Image 1, Image 2… in the order you add them) |
| Kind | Flare or Sunburst — you choose one |
| Size | 1024x768, 1024x1024, 1024x1536, 1920x1072, 2560x1440, 3840x2160, auto or custom — starts at 1024x768 |
| Quality | Auto, Low, Medium, High, Extra high or Max — starts at High |
| Naming your references | Type @ and pick one — one of each kind, read as “the picture”, “the clip” or “the sound” |
| Makes | A picture |

The price is never written here — prices change. It is on the model's page in Studio: on the **Make** button and beside each length, size or quality that changes it, before you press.

## The choices on its page

- **Kind** — **Flare** is quicker; **Sunburst** keeps more fine detail and takes longer.
- **Size** — six sizes, the model's own pick (**Auto**), or **Custom**: a width and a height of your own.
- **Quality** — from Low to Max. **Auto** lets the model pick, and is priced as Max.
- **Reasoning** — how much the model plans before it draws: more helps dense lettering and busy layouts, and takes longer.
- **Background** — **Transparent** for a picture with no background.
- **Format** — JPEG, PNG, WebP or a moving GIF. JPEG and WebP take a **Compression**; a GIF takes its **Frames** and **Frame time**, and each frame is priced as one picture.

## Changing a picture

- Add the picture to change first. Then, if you like, add **one** guide beside it:
  - a **Mask** — white where the picture may change, black where it must stay;
  - or a **Markup** — a see-through picture of the same size as the first, with circles, arrows or notes on it.
- A mask and a markup never go together.

## The price

The price is shown before you press. It follows the size, the quality, the frames of a GIF and every picture you add — a mask or a markup counts as one.
