Made with GPT Image 2 Medium
Prompt: A clean screenshot of a SaaS analytics dashboard in the visual language of Linear or Vercel. Deep neutral dark background with panels one shade lighter, separated by thin borders and no drop shadows. A single indigo accent color used sparingly. Inter typeface, small labels, tabular numbers. The layout is a narrow left sidebar and a main area holding four KPI cards across the top, one wide line chart below them, and a data table underneath. Generous padding inside each panel. Flat straight-on view filling the frame, no laptop or desk. Restrained and utilitarian, not futuristic.
Prompt: A brushed titanium wristwatch lying on cracked black volcanic stone, macro, dew droplets on the sapphire crystal, single low sun raking from the right creating long specular streaks across the case, deep shadows, muted amber and gunmetal palette, commercial product photography, 100mm macro, f/8, tack sharp
Prompt: A woman dancing in a garden full of animals. She is wearing a T-shirt with the word “Upsampler” on it.
Alternatives to GPT Image 2 Medium
Other models on Upsampler that cover similar ground.
Nano Banana 2
Google DeepMind's Gemini 3-powered flagship for text-to-image. Renders up to 4K with industry-leading prompt adherence, native multi-image references, and web search grounding for factual scenes. Ideal for product photography with brand consistency, character series across multi-shot campaigns, and complex compositional work that benefits from compositing several references at once.
Imagen 4 Ultra
Google's premium Imagen tier, built for magazine-cover-quality photorealism. Hand-tuned for fine-grained detail in faces, fabrics, and natural materials with faithful prompt adherence and improved typography. Sits at the top of the Google image lineup alongside Nano Banana Pro — pick this when you want documentary-style realism over Gemini's broader compositional flexibility.
Flux 2 Max
The highest-fidelity tier in Black Forest Labs' Flux 2 family, with magazine-grade detail in textures, fabrics, and natural materials. Reach for it on hero shots, magazine layouts, and premium ad creative where the cost per image is justified.
Ideogram V3
Ideogram V3 in edit mode. Typography-aware revisions for design-focused workflows — logo refinements, packaging text edits, poster typography revisions. Cheaper than GPT Image 2 for typography-heavy editing, though weaker on general photo edits where instruction-following matters more than text rendering.
