GPT Image 1.5
GPT Image 1.5 is a text‑to‑image and image‑editing model that produces high‑fidelity images suitable for production use. It is positioned as the successor to GPT-4o Image or GPT Image 1 with stronger prompt adherence, better detail, and more robust handling of complex scenes. Try GPT Image 1.5 below!
Key Features of GPT Image 1.5
- Enhanced Realism: Delivers greater photorealistic fidelity and overall production-grade quality
- Precise Editing with Consistency Maintained: Performs targeted edits with exceptional precision
- Improved Text Rendering: Improved in managing denser, and more natural-looking typography
Enhanced Realism and Production Quality
GPT Image 1.5 delivers greater photorealistic fidelity and overall production-grade quality, with built-in reasoning that ensures more accurate and controllable outputs. It handles challenging elements like group compositions, subtle lighting variations, and intricate details with higher reliability, making outputs feel polished and professional.
| Prompt | Output Image |
| Generate an image of a printed retro photo of a young asian man and a young white man in santa hats at a bar, one of them is holding a drink. There should be camera flashlight glare visible on the printed photo. The printed photo should also have a thin white border visible, and should be slightly rotated. |

Precise Image Editing with Consistency Maintained
Another standout improvement in GPT Image 1.5 is its ability to perform targeted edits with exceptional precision, preserving critical details across generations and iterations. It excels at tasks like adding or removing objects, blending elements seamlessly, trying on clothing or hairstyles virtually, or applying stylistic transformations—all while maintaining consistency in lighting, composition, faces, logos, and overall scene integrity.

Improved Text Rendering
GPT Image 1.5 takes a significant step forward in rendering text within images, managing denser, smaller, and more natural-looking typography than ever before. Previous models often struggled with legible text in complex layouts, but this version produces clear, readable letters even in challenging scenarios like infographics, newspaper articles, diagrams, or posters.
| Prompt | Output Image |
| How does the Fibonacci sequence work? Explain it using both math and code.
Place a simple mathematical definition and short explanation at the center of the image. Around the central math explanation, show four boxed Python implementations of the Fibonacci sequence, using different approaches or styles. Prefer Python solutions that rely on standard python library abstractions. Each implementation should be rendered inside a rounded-rectangle card with a subtle drop shadow and should contain, in order: - a clear title at the top Draw clear arrows pointing from the central math explanation to each implementation card. Keep the layout clean and visually structured, using a modern, professional infographic style. Use a pure white background, a neutral base color palette, and give each implementation card a distinct accent color, with clear spacing throughout. |
