Choosing the right model

1

Identify your goal

  • Photorealistic photo: Flux 2 Max, GPT Image 1.5, Imagen 4
  • Design with text: Ideogram V3
  • Fast iteration: Flux Schnell, Seedream V5 Lite, Nano Banana
  • Cinematic look: Runway Gen-4, Kling O1
  • Video content: Kling V3 Pro, Veo 3.1, Hailuo 2.3
2

Consider speed vs. quality

Faster models (Flux Schnell, Nano Banana) are great for exploring ideas. Premium models (Flux 2 Max, Imagen 4) produce higher fidelity but take longer.

Use multi-model to compare

Select up to 4 models per request to generate the same prompt across different models and compare results side by side.

Model compatibility

Not all models support every aspect ratio or feature. The app automatically:
  • Grays out models that don’t support your selected aspect ratio
  • Shows which modes (T2V, I2V) each video model supports
  • Validates settings before generation
Model availability updates regularly. New models are added as they become available from providers. Check the model selector in the app for the latest list.
