GitHub Copilot can generate and edit images in chat, in public preview

GitHub says Copilot can now generate and edit images from natural-language requests. The selected reasoning model calls an image-generation tool powered by GPT Image 2.5 Flare, shows the result inline and saves it to the project. It works in any Copilot chat session in VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app or Copilot CLI.

It is in public preview for Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business and Enterprise, billed separately from the chat model by image tokens that count toward the plan's AI credits. Organization and enterprise owners can turn it off by disabling the image-generation model in Copilot model policies. A visible "Made with AI" watermark is optional and off by default.
