GPT Image 2.6 FAQ
Is GPT Image 2.6 available in ChatCut?
Yes. GPT Image 2.6 is OpenAI's latest image model. Its two versions, Flare and Sunburst, are in the image model menu in the web editor and ChatCut Desktop, and the ChatCut Agent can use them too.
Do I need a paid plan to use GPT Image 2.6?
Yes. ChatCut's image models need an active Pro plan and enough credits. Each image is charged on its own.
What is the difference between Flare and Sunburst?
Flare is the faster everyday option. Sunburst takes two to four times as long and is the one to pick for precise edits, dense text and layouts.
Can GPT Image 2.6 make transparent backgrounds?
Yes. Ask for a transparent background in the prompt and the result is a PNG you can place over footage on the timeline.
What sizes and ratios does GPT Image 2.6 support?
Ten ratios from 1:1 to 21:9, including 16:9, 9:16, 4:5 and 3:2, at 1K by default. 2K and 4K are available as experimental sizes, and 2.6 can also output a looping GIF or an editable SVG.
How many credits does an image cost?
About 0.2 credits for a 1K image on Flare at high quality, and about 0.26 on Sunburst. ChatCut shows the estimate before a job starts.
How many images can I generate at once?
One by default, and up to 10 per request. You can attach up to 10 project images as references.
Can I use GPT Image 2.6 from Claude, ChatGPT or Codex?
Yes. With the ChatCut plugin installed, ask for an image in Claude, ChatGPT or Codex and the ChatCut Agent generates it with GPT Image 2.6, then saves it to your ChatCut project or as a file.
What happens if a generation fails?
Open the failed card in My Assets to see what went wrong, then check Credits history. It shows what was actually charged, which can differ from the estimate shown before the job.
Can I turn a generated image into a video?
Yes. Every image lands in My Assets. Use it as the first frame for Kling 4.0 or Seedance 2.5, or place it on the timeline and keep editing.
