Same prompt, different model

GPT Image 2 vs Nano Banana Pro

Run one visual brief through the two leading image workflows and choose between precise layout/text control and fast natural photography.

Controlled prompt pattern

A premium product campaign: hero subject, controlled studio lighting, a clear headline area, realistic materials, and a defined social aspect ratio.

Keep the subject, composition, duration, and aspect ratio constant; change only the model. This makes output differences attributable to the model rather than to a rewritten prompt.
