How to choose an AI image model
Choose for the job: a first concept, an edit to an existing image, or a final asset at a specific size.
Generation or editing
A text input supports a fresh composition. An image input can support editing or reference-led generation, while an upscaler serves a different purpose. Read each guide before choosing a model for preservation-sensitive edits.
Compare all image and video workflowsResolution and format
Match the model’s output tier and supported aspect ratios to the intended placement. Higher resolution does not replace checking details such as text, faces, and product appearance at full size.
Explore models for animating an imageCost per usable image
Use the price range to budget for drafts and revisions. Quality, resolution, and reference inputs can affect the final charge, so compare the settings you intend to use rather than the lowest advertised rate alone.
