Overview

GitHub announced on October 28, 2026 that Copilot chat can generate and edit images from natural-language prompts. A reasoning model calls an image-generation tool that the changelog says is powered by GPT Image 2.5 Flare, and results appear inline and save to the project. It works in VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app and Copilot CLI, in any chat session including mid-coding task, as a public preview for Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business and Enterprise. Image use is billed separately from the chat model by image tokens against the plan's AI credits; org and enterprise owners can disable it by turning off the image model in Copilot model policies, and an optional 'Made with AI' watermark is off by default.

This is a sourced directory entry. Features and capabilities are reported in the linked sources; this entry does not document independent Aymorphic testing.
