Asking for an image triggers a dedicated image-generation tool powered by GPT Image 2.5 Flare, which previews the result inline and saves it to your project. The feature works in VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app, and Copilot CLI. It's in public preview for Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise plans, billed separately via image tokens counted against AI credits. Org and enterprise owners can disable it through Copilot model policies, and a 'Made with AI' watermark can be enabled, though it's off by default. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I generate an image directly inside GitHub Copilot chat? Open a Copilot chat in VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app, or Copilot CLI and describe the image conversationally. Your selected reasoning model calls a dedicated image-generation tool powered by GPT Image 2.5 Flare, previews the result inline, and saves it to your project workspace automatically. _Developers wiring AI image generation into their workflow can track Copilot feature rollouts on daily.dev._ ### Which GitHub Copilot plans support the new image generation feature and how is it billed? Image generation is in public preview for Copilot Pro, Copilot Pro+, Copilot Business, and Copilot Enterprise. It's billed separately from the chat model, based on image tokens that count toward the plan's AI credits, so usage adds to your existing credit consumption rather than being free. _Teams budgeting AI credits across Copilot plans can follow pricing changes like this on daily.dev._ ### Can organization admins disable AI image generation in GitHub Copilot? Yes, organization and enterprise owners can turn off image generation by disabling the image generation model through Copilot model policies. Admins can also opt in to a visible 'Made with AI' watermark on generated and edited images, though watermarking is off by default. _Admins managing Copilot governance policies can keep up with controls like these on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Copilot vision is generally available](https://daily.dev/posts/copilot-vision-is-generally-available-mhuoeqktg) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Getting started with GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio or VS Code](https://daily.dev/posts/getting-started-with-github-copilot-in-visual-studio-or-vs-code-3or4rwi6m) · InfoWorld · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [GitHub Copilot CLI Reaches General Availability](https://daily.dev/posts/github-copilot-cli-reaches-general-availability-kwflfu4u5) · InfoQ · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [GitHub Copilot tutorial: How to build, test, review, and ship code faster \(with real prompts\)](https://daily.dev/posts/github-copilot-tutorial-how-to-build-test-review-and-ship-code-faster-with-real-prompts--lyeseh4bm) · GitHub Blog · 2 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#genai](https://daily.dev/tags/genai), [#vscode](https://daily.dev/tags/vscode) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/generate-and-edit-images-directly-in-copilot-uvzpj1nfk) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Generate and edit images directly in Copilot","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/generate-and-edit-images-directly-in-copilot-uvzpj1nfk","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/generate-and-edit-images-directly-in-copilot-uvzpj1nfk"},"datePublished":"2026-10-28T16:16:53.770Z","dateModified":"2026-10-28T16:23:57.524Z","description":"GitHub Copilot can now generate and edit images directly from natural language chat.
