Three campaign briefs and the checks each output needs.
Choose how GPT Image 2.6 approaches a still image or a short loop, then review the result on your Ciyo canvas.
Try the controls
Flare is designed for fast iteration; Sunburst for detailed visual work. Both are available in Ciyo. Compare them on your own brief; neither guarantees correct lettering or product details.
Effort controls how much the model plans: Low, Medium or High, with High as the default. Quality controls rendering and offers Medium or High. More Effort can take longer and introduce unwanted changes; it does not add a separate Effort fee.
Generate a still image from text or edit using an image reference. For Animated GIF, start from text only: one output, nine frames, 200 ms per frame, with a 768 px long edge. Download preserves the original GIF.
SVG output and markup-guided editing are OpenAI capabilities, but are not exposed in Ciyo yet. An Animated GIF cannot be an image reference or use pixel-editing tools. Text rendered inside a still image remains pixels; add native Text when you need editable words.
This retained example shows all nine frames from a Sunburst GIF made in Ciyo. Compare the balloon position across frames; inspect a complete loop before publishing your own.
Read the example and limits
Ciyo uses prepaid credits, with no subscription. Media generation has a quote based on the request. Conversation, planning and creative reasoning can consume credits separately; opening this page or preparing a draft does not generate media.
View pricingYes. Choose GPT Image 2.6 Flare or Sunburst in the image model menu. The existing default is still GPT Image 2.5 Flare; choosing 2.6 is explicit.
Effort and Quality are separate controls. Higher Effort adds planning, not a guarantee of better output, and has no separate fee. Review the generation quote for your model, size, quality and references.
The current Ciyo integration offers still raster images and Animated GIF. Native 2.6 SVG output and markup input are not exposed. The separate Vector tool uses a different conversion workflow.
