Compare AI Image Models
Fixed prompt, models generated side by side. Output beats a spec sheet.
Model vs Model
Nano Banana 2 vs FLUX.2
Google vs Black Forest Labs
The most requested comparison here. Short version: pick Nano Banana 2 for editing and multi-reference consistency, FLUX.2 for photographic craft and fine parameter control. Prices are close, so the decision is about the task rather than the budget.

GPT Image vs Nano Banana 2
OpenAI vs Google
This pair differs on two axes: which one listens more carefully, and which one is faster. GPT Image is more reliable when a prompt carries many parallel constraints; Nano Banana 2 wins on editing and turnaround.

FLUX.2 vs Ideogram 3
Black Forest Labs vs Ideogram
This one barely needs deliberation: text in the image means Ideogram 3, photographic quality means FLUX.2. Their strengths hardly overlap.

Nano Banana 2 vs Seedream 4
Google vs ByteDance
Both do 4K and both edit. The split is single-image precision versus producing a matching set: Seedream 4’s Series Mode is unique on this site.

Ideogram 3 vs Recraft V3
Ideogram vs Recraft
Both aim at design work, but they deliver different artefacts: Ideogram 3 gives you a bitmap with accurate text, Recraft V3 gives you an SVG whose paths you can edit.

GPT Image vs FLUX.2
OpenAI vs Black Forest Labs
GPT Image behaves like an assistant executing a brief; FLUX.2 behaves like a camera. Complex requirements favour the first, image quality favours the second.

This ranks credits only, not quality. A quality ranking needs real test data, and we do not publish one before those tests exist.
