GPT Image 2.6 is an image model in OpenAI's GPT Image family. OpenAI's OpenAPI image editing specification update of October 28, 2026 lists GPT Image 2.6 in the markup parameter description. Markup uses a transparent PNG annotation layer to guide the location of an image edit.
OpenAI's image editing specification describes the markup layer as an overlay on the first input image that guides the location of an edit. The layer is a transparent PNG matching the source image dimensions after orientation.
For an annotation-guided editing brief, prepare the source image, transparent markup layer and text prompt together. The annotation locates the edit; the prompt describes the desired material, color or content and lists the subject, lighting and composition to preserve.
Preparation for GPT Image 2.6 API access includes creating a HiAPI API key, testing tasks with an available image model, and collecting source images and prompts. When GPT Image 2.6 access opens, use the GPT Image 2.6 model documentation to configure requests and plan a budget.
Sign in to HiAPI and create a key from the API Keys page in your dashboard to prepare API access for your application.
GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 Flare are available on HiAPI. Choose source images and prompts, follow the request example on the selected model page, and save the results and actual cost to inform later model choices.
After the GPT Image 2.6 launch notification, return here for the model ID, parameters, request examples and pricing. Choose settings for your image task before making the first request.
A product editing brief includes the source photo, requested background changes and details to preserve. List the background or objects to change, along with the product silhouette and brand details to retain, for reviewing the result.
A poster brief includes the headline, brand name, supporting copy and layout requirements. Define the reading order and space around each element, then review copy accuracy and composition separately.
A social image series brief includes shared palette, lighting and composition references, plus subject changes for each frame. Keep one style brief to compare visual consistency across versions.
Image generation prompts specify the subject, material, lighting and composition. Local editing prompts specify the location, requested change and details to preserve. These general templates cover product images and object removal; copy and adapt them to your own brief.
Product campaign image for a matte deep-green insulated bottle. Place it on pale grey stone, soft light from the upper left, three-quarter close view, with open space on the right for a headline. Keep the silhouette clean, the fine matte texture visible, and the image free of text and watermarks.Putting the subject, material, light and empty space in one brief makes it easier to review the image against your intent.
Edit the supplied image: remove the plastic cup in the lower-right corner of the table and fill that area with the table's own wood grain. Preserve the subject position, light direction, overall color grade and original framing.Separate the requested change from the details to preserve, then review the result against both.

GPT Image 2.6 API rates and billing details will appear on HiAPI's GPT Image 2.6 model page when access opens. Plan a budget using output settings and expected request volume, then track the cost per image with actual tasks.
For GPT Image 2.6 API integration, use the request examples and parameter documentation on HiAPI's GPT Image 2.6 model page. At launch, that page will provide the model ID, input methods and output settings for application requests.
In the OpenAI image editing specification that names GPT Image 2.6, markup is a transparent PNG layer that guides the edit location. Text prompts describe the desired content and details to preserve. Match the layer to the source image dimensions after orientation and retain transparent areas.
GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 Flare are available on HiAPI for image creation and editing. Each model's HiAPI detail page provides its parameters, pricing and request examples.
Official GPT Image 2.6 information can be followed through OpenAI's OpenAPI image editing specification, model catalog and API changelog. The October 28, 2026 OpenAPI update names GPT Image 2.6 in the markup description; the official sources section links to these references.
