How to choose the right model
For everyday text-to-image creation we recommend Seedream 4 - it is the best balance of speed, cost and quality and powers the default tab in our generator. Spend 5 credits per image and iterate in under 10 seconds.
When you need readable text - logos, posters, banners, ads - switch to Nano Banana Pro. It renders crisp typography across 50+ languages with strong character fidelity. The Pro tier costs 18 credits per image and the upgrade pays for itself the moment you stop fixing letters in Photoshop.
Choose Flux Kontext Pro for photoreal scenes, dramatic lighting and cinematic compositions, GPT Image 2 for precise instruction following and editing, Ideogram V3 for typography-first artwork, and Imagen 4 Fast when speed matters more than detail. All eight models share the same prompt box, the same image-to-image flow and the same gallery, so trying a different model is one click away.

Frequently asked questions
Which AI image model should I start with?
Start with Seedream 4 (Fast) at 5 credits per image. It produces well-composed images in under 10 seconds and is enough for most marketing, social and design tasks. Upgrade to Nano Banana Pro or Flux Kontext Pro only when you need readable text or photoreal fidelity.
Do all models share the same credit balance?
Yes. One MakeImg.AI account = one credit wallet. Fast models charge 5 credits per image, Pro models 18. Credits never expire as long as your subscription is active.
Can I use the same prompt across different models?
Yes - the prompt box is shared. Switch models from the dropdown and re-run; results will differ in style, fidelity and text rendering. We recommend running the same prompt against 2-3 models when you are exploring a new look.
Are images generated commercially usable?
Yes. Every image you generate on MakeImg.AI is yours to use commercially. See the Refund Policy and Terms of Service for full details.
