Higgsfield Adds GIFs, SVGs and Transparent Images to GPT Image 2.6
Higgsfield has made GPT Image 2.6 available in its Image tool, adding animated GIFs, SVG vectors, transparent backgrounds and markup-guided editing. Users can choose between Flare for faster generation and Sunburst for more precise results.
- GPT Image 2.6 is available on Higgsfield in Flare and Sunburst versions.
- The model generates PNG images, animated GIFs and SVG vectors in preview.
- Users can control backgrounds, reasoning effort, variation and targeted edits.
- GIFs include controls for frame size, frame count and frame duration.
- Unlimited covers selected PNG generations, while GIF, SVG and 4K outputs use credits.
Two versions and expanded output formats
GPT Image 2.6 is available through Higgsfield’s model selector in two versions. Flare is designed for faster generation and is intended for content, drafts, prompt testing and exploring ideas. Sunburst is slower but more precise, with Higgsfield recommending it for detailed edits and compositions where faces, products and text need closer attention.
The update retains the existing 1K, 2K and 4K resolution options and supports up to 16 reference images in both versions. It expands output beyond still images, allowing users to generate PNG files, animated GIFs and SVG vector graphics. SVG output is currently in preview.
Higgsfield says PNG and SVG files can be generated at 1K, 2K or 4K, while GIFs use frame-size controls. Users can also select Auto, Opaque or Transparent backgrounds. A transparent PNG can be used for product cutouts, stickers and images placed into another design.
Controls for animation, variation and editing
GPT Image 2.6 adds controls for reasoning effort and Temperature, which controls variation between outputs generated from the same prompt. For targeted edits, users mark an area in an image and describe the change they want.
GIF creation turns a prompt into a sequence of frames played as a looping animation. The tool provides controls for frame size, frame count and frame duration. Frame duration ranges from 20 to 2000 ms. Higgsfield recommends describing one simple action and keeping the camera fixed for clearer results.
Its example uses a cartoon cat waving, with 9 frames at 200 ms per frame for a 1.8-second loop. At 512 × 512, users can select between 3 and 30 frames. Larger frame sizes allow fewer frames.
SVG is aimed at icons, simple illustrations and mascots that need to scale without losing sharpness. The output has a transparent background and can be edited in compatible vector software, although Higgsfield says complex images may produce less consistent results. Elements added with @ work in PNG and GIF, but SVG does not support Elements.
Pricing and Unlimited access
Higgsfield lists an estimated cost of $0.13 for a Flare or Sunburst generation at High quality and 2K resolution, using 2.75 credits. At 4K, the estimated cost is $0.21 and the generation uses 4.25 credits. The company says these prices were verified in November 2026 and are based on the Plus monthly plan, which costs $49 for 1,000 credits.
As of November 5, 2026, GPT Image 2.6 replaces GPT Image 2.5 in the 7-day Unlimited bonus for new purchases and upgrades on eligible plans. Both Flare and Sunburst are included, but the Starter plan is excluded.
Unlimited covers PNG generation at Low or Medium quality and resolutions up to 2K. GIF, SVG, 4K and other quality settings use credits. Users can run two Unlimited image generations at once across all included image models, while additional requests wait in the queue. Earlier purchases retain their GPT Image 2.5 Unlimited access, and those users can access GPT Image 2.6 through credits.
