GPT Image 2.6 prompts for photo edits and GIFs
55 prompts, each run on YepShot with GPT Image 2.6: 7 turn a photo into a looping GIF and 48 edit a still photo. They are edit instructions, not text-to-image prompts: upload a photo, paste the prompt, and the model changes what the prompt describes. Every result below is real. The stills ran on November 6, 2026 (Flare, medium quality, 1K) and the GIFs on November 5 (9 frames). The still prompts are the ones we use for Nano Banana 2.1, word for word, so you can compare the two models on every one.
GIF prompts
Each prompt names the subject, one small action, that it loops, and what must stay the same. A GIF on YepShot is 9 frames (1.8 seconds), so one action is all that fits.

Before 
GPT Image 2.6 GIF Pet Photo to Head-Tilt GIF

GPT Image 2.6 GIF Photo to Waving Chibi Sticker GIF
Turn the person in this photo into a cute chibi cartoon sticker with a thick white die-cut border on a plain light grey background, and animate it as a looping GIF: the character waves hello, gives a thumbs up, then returns to the first pose.

GPT Image 2.6 GIF Product Photo to 360° Spin GIF

Before

Before 
GPT Image 2.6 GIF Photo to Cinemagraph GIF
Turn this photo into a cinemagraph-style looping GIF: only small natural things move, such as rising steam, flowing water, falling rain or leaves swaying in the wind. Everything else stays perfectly still, and the last frame flows smoothly back into the first.
Product backgrounds and scenes
Say the product stays unchanged, then name one surface, a couple of props and where the light comes from.

Frequently asked questions
Do these prompts work in ChatGPT?
They should: ChatGPT Images 2.6 is the same model. We ran every prompt on YepShot through fal.ai's GPT Image 2.6 endpoint, not inside ChatGPT, so results there can differ. Attach your photo, paste the prompt and send it.
What settings did you use?
Stills: the Flare variant at medium quality, 1K, aspect ratio auto, one run per prompt. GIFs: medium quality, 9 frames, 1.8 seconds. We did not run the high and max quality levels. Sunburst we ran on 10 of the stills; those results are on the GPT Image 2.6 page.
Are these text-to-image prompts?
No. Each one is an instruction for editing a photo you upload. Without a photo, the model has nothing to keep unchanged, and most of these prompts start by saying what must stay.
Which prompts need a brushed area?
8 of the 55, each marked on its card. Brush over the part to change before you run the prompt; the prompt then says what to do inside that area.
What does it cost to run one on YepShot?
A 1K edit with GPT Image 2.6 at standard quality is 6 credits and a GIF is 7. New accounts get 18 free credits.
Can I use the same prompts with Nano Banana 2.1?
Yes. The still prompts were written for Nano Banana 2.1 and run on GPT Image 2.6 unchanged. The comparison page shows both results for every one of them.
Does GPT Image 2.6 add things the prompt didn't ask for?
Sometimes. In these runs it printed real brand names in three results (two book titles, a toy maker's logo and a headset logo, all blurred on this page), cropped an old photo and kept a TV remote in a product flat lay. Look over a result before you use it in a listing or an ad.
