GPT Image 2 Medium

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.

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.

The highest-fidelity tier in Black Forest Labs' Flux 2 family. Top-5 on the Artificial Analysis text-to-image arena 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 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.
