From our tests

Strengths and limits

Good at

  • Strong mood and light — the film still, surreal stairs and fashion editorial look art-directed.
  • Style references (up to 10 on Large) to lock a look across images.
  • Turbo gives a similar mood for less.

Limits

  • Large costs the most — use Medium Turbo or Turbo to explore first.
  • Less suited to text-heavy designs than GPT Image 2 or Recraft.
