OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5 is on eroq as [GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst](/models/gpt-image-2-5-sunburst), precise and the lineup's strongest at lettering, and [GPT Image 2.5 Flare](/models/gpt-image-2-5-flare), the dramatic one. Both cost 31 credits / image and typically take about 15 seconds. These 26 prompts cover posters, products, infographic-style layouts, UI mockups and key art, each with its model, a format and why it works.

## How these prompts are built

Sunburst prompts read like a design brief: subject, placement, background, light, then the exact words in double quotes with the type described. Flare prompts open with light and mood. Text stays at a few words per element. Set the ratio in the Format control ([which ratio for what](/blog/ai-image-aspect-ratios-guide)) and give lettering two to four takes. Running every prompt once (18 on Sunburst, 8 on Flare) costs 806 credits, about $8.06 at the entry pack.

## FAQ

### Should I use Sunburst or Flare for these prompts?

Use the one each prompt names: Sunburst for layouts, labels and interfaces, Flare for drama. They cost the same, so testing a prompt on both is fair; [Sunburst vs Flare](/blog/gpt-image-2-5-sunburst-vs-flare) explains the split.

### How do I get the text in these prompts to spell correctly?

Keep quoted words short and run a few takes. A misspelled take still counts as a render, so keep the clean one.

### Can I run these prompts through the API?

Yes. Send the prompt to `POST /v1/images/generations` with `"model": "gpt-image-2-5-sunburst"` or `"model": "gpt-image-2-5-flare"` and an `aspect` such as `"3:4"`, then poll the job until it succeeds. See [/docs/images](/docs/images).
