4:5 is a common feed portrait ratio, and fifteen of the 19 Sume image models list it (read 2026-10-03): GPT Image 2, 2.5 and 2.5 Sunburst, Nano Banana 2 and Pro, the three Seedream rows, Qwen Image and Max, Flux 2 Pro and Flex, Recraft V4, and both Ideogram rows. The four that do not are Grok Imagine, Imagen 4 Fast and Ultra, and Higgsfield Soul. For those, ask for 3:4 and crop.

The 4:5 list

The list comes from the catalog descriptors and the per-image endpoint prices (list x 1.25), read 2026-10-03.

Which models skip it

Grok Imagine lists 2:1, 20:9, 19.5:9, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, 2:3, 3:4, 9:16, 9:19.5, 9:20 and 1:2 but not 4:5, and Imagen 4 stops at 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3 and 3:4. A model only accepts the ratios its catalog descriptors list, so ask for 3:4 and crop one-sixteenth from the height.

The GPT Image 2.5 case

GPT Image 2.5 is the model with a documented 4:5 pixel mapping in the repo's estimate table: 1024 by 1280. Its price depends on quality, so a 1024 by 1024 render is estimated between $0.0074 at low and $0.2635 at max, and a 1024 by 1280 render at high is estimated at $0.0566. Check the live price before a batch.

A request

Four 4:5 takes on Seedream 4 cost $0.13.

What Sume does not do

It does not resize to a platform pixel count. Download the file, check its size, and resize with Pillow if a slot demands exact pixels.
