GPT Image 2.5 Flare Text to Image example
Example — generated from this input

A cozy kitchen flat lay on a light wood table: a cream recipe card titled "LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES" with three short handwritten lines beneath reading "2 eggs", "1 cup ricotta" and "zest of 1 lemon", next to a stack of fluffy pancakes topped with blueberries, a halved lemon and a small glass jug of maple syrup. Soft morning light, realistic photo, crisp legible lettering.

About $0.037 per image at default settings (high quality, 1024×768, 1 image); higher quality, larger sizes and more images use more tokens.

Each request temporarily reserves $0.0366; you are charged for actual usage, usually within a minute: any unused amount is released and any usage above it is charged to your balance, even if that takes it below zero; while your balance is below zero, new requests are paused until a top-up covers it.

Failed generations are not charged.
