AI Image Generator: Five Engines, One Prompt
Run the same prompt through five leading image engines at once, compare the outputs side by side, and send the winner to 3D. One account, one credit pool, no tab-juggling between tools.

How it works
Write one prompt
Describe the subject, the background, and the view. The background clause controls how clean the input is for any downstream 3D work.
Generate across engines
Pick the engines you want to compare. Outputs land side by side in the same studio, no second account or upload.
Pick, edit, or convert to 3D
Keep the winner, edit it further, or send it straight into 3D reconstruction and export GLB, glTF, OBJ, or STL.
Continue in image-to-3DWhy multi-model beats single-engine
A single-engine tool locks you into that engine's weaknesses. Bad texture day, weak text rendering, flat lighting, you start over on another platform with another subscription. Running five engines on one prompt turns "start over" into "pick the better output."
One prompt, five outputs
Run the same prompt across every engine and compare the results side by side in a single studio, no second account or re-upload.
One credit pool
Every engine draws from the same balance. No separate subscriptions or per-engine top-ups; spend credits where the output is best.
Straight to 3D
Send any winning image into image-to-3D reconstruction without leaving the workflow, then export GLB, glTF, OBJ, or STL.
The trade-off is real and worth naming: five engines cost five times the credits of one. For a throwaway social image, run a single engine. For a hero asset you'll ship, the extra credits buy a real choice instead of a guess. The pricing page won't frame it that way; we will.
Which engine for which job
Independent benchmarks (fal.ai, Flowith, Reddit generativeAI tests) consistently rank GPT Image 2 ahead on complex text rendering and photo realism, with Nano Banana 2 competitive on speed and certain stylized scenes. The honest summary: no single engine wins every category, which is the whole reason a multi-model workflow exists.
Fast iteration and everyday generation
Cheapest live engines at 4 credits, roughly 20 second runtime. Use these when you're prototyping, batching variations, or just need a solid image fast. Nano Banana 2 adds a thinking mode for tighter prompt adherence.
Rich textures and surface detail
At 15 credits and roughly 40 seconds, Pro leans into material fidelity. Pick it when the subject has meaningful surface information (fabric, skin, weathered metal) that cheaper engines flatten.
Readable text and inpainting
GPT Image engines are the strongest choice when the image needs legible text, labels, or signage. GPT Image 2 is the only live engine that supports mask-based inpainting, so partial rewrites go through it.
Outputs you control
Aspect ratios
Square, wide, portrait, cinema 21:9, panorama, and tower formats are available depending on engine. Nano Banana 2 covers the widest set, including extreme panorama and strip ratios.
Resolutions
Quality tiers run from low to ultra. High and ultra pull more credits but hold detail at larger print sizes. Nano Banana Pro supports 1K, 2K, and 4K; it drops the 0.5K tier.
Formats
Export PNG, JPG, or WEBP. PNG for lossless work, JPG for smaller social files, WEBP when you need both.
Exact aspect ratios and quality tiers differ per engine; the studio shows only the options each selected engine supports.
Edit and inpaint without leaving
Every live engine except Midjourney accepts an edit input. Send a reference image and a prompt, and the engine reworks the image while keeping the composition you want to keep.
For surgical changes, GPT Image 2 is the only live engine with mask-based inpainting. Draw a mask over the region to rewrite, leave the rest untouched. Useful for fixing one element in an otherwise-finished image without regenerating the whole thing.
The limitation worth naming: inpainting quality depends heavily on how consistent the surrounding context is. Large mask areas or heavy style shifts still produce visible seams. For those cases, a full image edit pass beats a local inpaint.

AI image generator FAQ
Which AI image engines can I run?+
Five are live right now: Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 1.5, and GPT Image 2. They don't overlap much. Nano Banana is the cheap fast one, Pro leans into texture, GPT Image handles readable text and is the only one with mask-based inpainting. Midjourney v7 sits in our config but stays disabled until that integration is finished, so we won't sell you something that isn't ready.
How is this different from a single-engine generator?+
You fire one prompt at several engines and read the outputs in the same studio, instead of betting on one engine and starting over when it fumbles a texture or some text. Honest trade-off: running five engines costs five times the credits of running one. For a throwaway social image, pick a single engine. For a hero asset you'll ship, the comparison buys you a real choice instead of a guess.
Can I send a generated image to 3D?+
Yes, any output drops straight into image-to-3D reconstruction without re-uploading, then exports as GLB, glTF, OBJ, or STL. If you want the reconstruction to come out clean, prompt for a single subject on a plain background. The reference-image workflow page walks through exactly how to do that.
Nano Banana 2 vs GPT Image 2: which AI image model wins?+
It depends on the job. GPT Image 2 leads on complex, legible text and photo realism, which is why it's the default for marketing visuals with labels or signage. Nano Banana 2 is faster (~20s vs ~1min), about a third of the credit cost, and competitive on stylized scenes. The reason both exist in one studio is so you don't have to guess; run the same prompt through each and compare.
Which AI image generator should you actually use?+
The one that fits the asset in front of you. For fast social iteration, Nano Banana at 4 credits. For textured, detailed work, Nano Banana Pro. For readable text and inpainting, GPT Image 2. If you're unsure, that's the multi-model case: run several engines on one prompt, keep the winner. Single-engine tools force you to bet before you've seen the output.
