## FAQs

### How is ChatGPT Image 2.6 different from ChatGPT Image 2.5?

ChatGPT Image 2.6 is OpenAI’s newer image model. It plans each image with a separate reasoning step before it draws. Image Lab runs it at high quality with high reasoning, at the same four ad sizes as 2.5.

### Does ChatGPT Image 2.6 support edits?

Yes. Attach a source still to run image-to-image. Edits keep the subject, composition, and background and change only what you ask.

### Can Image Lab make GIFs with ChatGPT Image 2.6?

Not yet. Image Lab saves one still per generation. For motion, open the still in Video Lab.

### Is ChatGPT Image 2.6 free?

No. ChatGPT Image 2.6 runs in Image Lab, which is included in every Clip Studio plan, and every plan opens every Image Lab model. Each ChatGPT Image 2.6 still is quoted before you generate, so you see what it uses first.

### How much does ChatGPT Image 2.6 cost?

There is no separate ChatGPT Image 2.6 subscription. Plans are Clip Pro at $19, Studio Elite at $39, and Studio Scale at $99 a month (Clip Pro is $9 for the first month if you have never subscribed, and annual billing is about 20% less). Each plan includes a monthly generation allowance shared across every studio. Each ChatGPT Image 2.6 still uses part of it. The model, the aspect ratio, and whether you attach a source still can change how much, and Image Lab shows the quote before you generate. Plan details are on the pricing page.

### How do I use ChatGPT Image 2.6 online?

Open ChatGPT Image 2.6 in Image Lab from this page (it opens with ChatGPT Image 2.6 selected) and sign in. Write a prompt, pick an aspect ratio ChatGPT Image 2.6 accepts, and attach a source still if you want an edit. Check the quote, then generate. The finished still lands in your Clip Studio Library to download. Nothing to install.
