GPT-IMG
Give every photo one job
A reference with no stated role gets blended in vaguely. "Image 1 is the person, image 2 is the jacket, image 3 is the room" turns three photos into three instructions.
GPT-IMGAI image combiner
Combine up to five photos into one image. As a multiple reference image generator, it needs you to say what each photo is for: this person, that jacket, this room, that colour mood.
An AI image combiner and multiple reference image generator: upload up to five photos, say what each is for, and get one picture. People, products, style.

Image
Upload at least one reference image before generating.
Models that take several references
All four accept more than one reference photo. They differ in how many they weigh at once and in how closely they hold a face or a product, so run the same brief through two of them.
GPT Image 2.5
OpenAI latest image model. Sharper instruction following, cleaner in-image text, up to 4K.
FLUX 2 Pro
Photorealistic detail with tight prompt control. Accepts up to 8 reference images.
Nano Banana Pro
Highest quality Google model. Supports up to 4K resolution.
Seedream 5.0 Pro
Strong typography and poster layouts. Handles dense in-image text at 1K and 2K.
Getting every reference to count
More references only help when each one has a job. The first four points are about giving them jobs, the last three are about the limits you will run into.
GPT-IMG
Refer to them by position
There is no role selector, so the prompt is the only place the roles live. Say "image 1", "image 2" in upload order, and keep that order in your head when you re-run.
GPT-IMG
Pick sharp, single-subject sources
A reference that already contains three people and a busy street gives the model three things to guess between. Crop to the one thing you want used before you upload.
GPT-IMG
Lock the thing that must not change
Add "keep the face exactly" or "same label, same proportions" for the reference that carries identity. The other references can be looser; that one needs the explicit clause.
GPT-IMG
Five is the ceiling on this page
You can attach up to five photos per generation here. If a brief needs more, merge two related references first, for example a sheet with the jacket front and back, then use the sheet as one image.
GPT-IMG
Conflicting references average out
Two photos with different lighting, scale, or angle will not both win. Pick one to set the light and say so, or the result splits the difference and looks like neither.
GPT-IMG
It is a new rendering, not a composite
The model draws the whole frame from your references, it does not cut and paste. Identity and design carry over, fine details like small print and exact patterns can drift, so check them before you publish.
GPT-IMG
GPT Image 2.5 or FLUX 2 Pro for the same brief
Both take references on this page, up to five photos. The practical difference is the ceiling: a 1K Standard run is 15 credits on both GPT Image 2.5 and FLUX 2 Pro, but FLUX 2 Pro tops out at 2K and GPT Image 2.5 goes to 4K. Draft on either to settle the references and wording, then re-run the keeper on GPT Image 2.5 if you need the larger file.
GPT-IMG
The jobs this is actually used for
Most multi-reference runs are one of three things: putting a person in a new outfit or scene while the face holds, placing a real product into a lifestyle setting taken from a mood photo, and carrying one visual style, such as a colour grade or illustration look, across a set of different subjects.
