Candid street portrait of a young woman in a mustard raincoat laughing under a clear umbrella on a rainy Tokyo side street at dusk, neon reflections on wet asphalt, shallow depth of field, 35mm film look.
One prompt, four AI image models side by side
We gave four models the same three prompts and kept the first picture each made. The words on the card and the flyer came out right in all four. Each costs 2 to 3 credits, so free credits cover a try of each. Times include the queue.
A holiday greeting card photo: a family of four in matching red knit sweaters laughing together on a snowy front porch, a pine wreath on the door and warm string lights. Elegant gold script text at the bottom reads "Happy Holidays from the Parkers". Candid, natural moment, soft early-evening light.
Compare how close each one framed the family.
GPT Image 2.5 Flare
OpenAI · 68 sTight and warm, with the faces large.
Nano Banana 2.1
Google · 28 sShows the whole porch, so the family is small.
Seedream 5.0 Flash
ByteDance · 20 sPatterned sweaters, text on a red band. Fastest here.
FLUX 3 Klein
Black Forest Labs · 25 sHad them stand and added scarves nobody asked for.
Realistic photo for a blog header: a wooden desk by a rainy window with an open laptop, a notebook with a handwritten to-do list, a steaming mug and a small potted plant. Soft morning light, shallow depth of field, 35mm lens look, no people.
Compare the light and the mood.
GPT Image 2.5 Flare
OpenAI · 62 sWarm and cozy, but it added a phone and a wallpaper.
Nano Banana 2.1
Google · 44 sThe moodiest; the handwriting is too small to read.
Seedream 5.0 Flash
ByteDance · 19 sMorning light, steam, every list item readable. Closest to the prompt.
FLUX 3 Klein
Black Forest Labs · 24 sBright, with a blank screen you can put text over.
A flyer for a small neighborhood bakery. Big headline "Fresh Sourdough Every Saturday", a photo of three crusty sourdough loaves on a wooden board in the middle, and one line at the bottom: "Rosie's Bakery · 12 Elm Street · Opens 8am". Warm cream and brown colors, clean modern layout.
Look for anything the prompt did not ask for.
GPT Image 2.5 Flare
OpenAI · 51 sThe most designed: ribbon, wheat and a boxed footer.
Nano Banana 2.1
Google · 77 sLooks like a print ad; the slowest of the four.
Seedream 5.0 Flash
ByteDance · 20 sAdded a logo and a tag the prompt never asked for.
FLUX 3 Klein
Black Forest Labs · 21 sOnly the text we asked for, nothing extra, at the lowest price.
Use it as an AI photo generator: start from a photo you have
Upload a photo, describe the change, then drag the slider to compare. Each case used a different model.
Seedream 5.0 Flash, asked for a shop product photo that keeps the jar and label. The label stayed exact; check it against your product before you list it.
FLUX 3 Klein, asked for a flat cartoon sticker with a white outline that keeps the fur, collar and face. It still reads as the same dog.
Nano Banana 2.1, asked to make a holiday card portrait and keep his face. The face, curls and glasses carried over.
AI picture, image or photo generator: what's the difference?
An AI picture generator, an AI image generator and an AI photo generator are one kind of tool under different names: you describe a picture or upload one, and a model makes a new image.
Text to image starts from a sentence: the subject, setting, style and any words to show. Image to image starts from a photo you upload: you say what to change, such as the background, the outfit or the style, and what to keep.
Both run here on models from Google, OpenAI, ByteDance, Black Forest Labs and others, with the cost shown before you make anything.
One AI image generator, 11 models: which to pick and what each costs
Every model makes pictures from text and edits uploaded photos. Credits are per picture at the default size; some cost more at bigger sizes, and the generator shows the cost first.

AI picture generator questions
You can try it free. New accounts get 10 credits: three pictures with the default model, or one try of every model here except Nano Banana Pro. After that, credits come from a monthly plan or a one-time pack.
No. You need an account to generate, so your pictures and credits stay with you. Sign up with an email code; there is no password.
Yes. Until you buy a plan or a credit pack, pictures carry a watermark. Once you have paid, new pictures come without one, and earlier ones lose it too.
Pictures made with a paid plan or a credit pack can be used commercially. Pictures made only with the free credits are for personal use. Don't copy real brands, logos or people without permission.
Start with GPT Image 2.5 Flare, the default: 3 credits a picture, and our pick for the holiday card test. For the cheapest drafts, use FLUX 3 Klein. For posters where lettering matters most, try Ideogram 4.5 or Seedream 5.0 Pro on the same prompt.
Yes. Google's Nano Banana models and OpenAI's GPT Image models both run here. This site is independent; it is not Google or OpenAI.
Yes. In our holiday card and bakery flyer tests, all four models spelled every word right. Put the exact words in quotes, keep lines short, and read the result letter by letter before you print or post it.
Yes. Upload a clear, well-lit photo, say what should change, such as clothes, place or style, and that your face should stay the same. Only upload photos of yourself or of people who agreed, and compare the face before you share it.
