Choose the right image model
Compare active image options and understand why some catalogue entries are not yet runnable.
Choose by the job, not just the name
Use reference-capable models when the exact product or person matters. For concept exploration without a reference, text-only models may be suitable. No model is best for every task; test one image at a time and inspect the result.
References, lettering and product edits
GPT Image 2: supports references, lettering and packaging-style edits, with model-dependent output sizes.
Nano Banana Pro: supports reference-led product edits and photoreal scenes.
Ideogram V3: an option for typography and poster-style graphics; the active Image Studio path is text-only.
These are task-oriented starting points, not promises of perfect spelling or identity.
Other active creative options
Seedream 4.5 supports rich compositions; Flux Pro 1.1 supports detailed creative renders; Flux Realism targets natural-looking scenes; Recraft V3 is an option for clean brand visuals. Their current active Image Studio paths do not accept reference uploads.
Pending activation is not availability
The grouped catalogue can include additional models marked Pending activation. They can be inspected but cannot generate or charge through that pending path. Choose a currently active model to create an output. Settings are shown according to each model’s supported path.
Control your test cost
Choose one output to compare prompts before increasing the count. Read the current quote after every model or resolution change. A batch contains separate paid image requests, not free alternatives.
