How to choose an image model
This page groups models of one type, but they solve different jobs. Start from the use case, not the model name: it is the shortest path to a usable result without unnecessary reruns.
- turn a text brief into a usable visual without a separate editor
- rework a photo from references when style, face, object, or composition matters
- prepare variants for marketing, social posts, product cards, and personal photos
Practical choice
- GPT Image 2 is designed for high-quality images, source-photo edits, and visual iterations.
- Nano Banana is the fast mode for everyday images, ideas, and photo-based variations.
- Nano Banana Pro adds selectable 1K, 2K, or 4K quality for assets where detail and the final file matter.
