OpenAI has officially released a significant upgrade to ChatGPT Images, introducing the GPT-Image-1.5 image generation model as the flagship engine behind the update. This version focuses on speed and precision, generating visuals up to four times faster and offering improved accuracy when editing or transforming images. Users can now access a dedicated “Images” tab inside the ChatGPT interface that includes creative presets and trending prompt suggestions, aimed at making image generation more intuitive and powerful.

The enhanced capability allows users to generate images from scratch, refine existing photos, and perform complex edits, such as realistic clothing or hairstyle try-ons, with better output quality and adherence to instructions. OpenAI’s official announcement notes that the update is available to users across multiple subscription tiers (Free, Go, Plus, Edu, Pro), and images are accessible both on web and mobile platforms. Business and Enterprise tier support is planned to follow.

This upgrade positions ChatGPT Images as a more practical tool for creative and professional visual tasks, with enterprise use cases increasingly in focus amid broader competition in the AI image generation space.
