| Instruction following | Strong for simple scenes; layered layout rules often needed retries. | Stronger object placement and scene relationships. | Thinking spends longer to satisfy open-ended, multi-part briefs. |
|---|
| Text & typography | Short type could drift; UI mockups often needed manual fixes. | Improved dense text, iconography, and small-label rendering. | Best when headlines, data labels, or UI chrome carry meaning. |
|---|
| Multilingual copy | Non-English in-frame text was inconsistent. | Stronger multilingual in-frame copy. | Useful for localized campaign explorations with research context. |
|---|
| Aspect ratio range | 1:1, 16:9, 9:16 — ultrawide/tall crops needed workarounds. | 3:1–1:3 plus 1:1, 16:9, 9:16 in the picker. | Same 3:1–1:3 ladder; plans multi-crop sets from one brief. |
|---|
| Max resolution | ~1024 px typical exports; fine type could soften on upscale. | Sharper native exports on dense type and fine texture. | Same export ceiling; longer Thinking pass for polish. |
|---|
| Selective edit precision | Whole-frame regenerations were common for small fixes. | More precise scoped add, remove, and blend edits. | Thinking can iterate before presenting a checked final frame. |
|---|
| Thinking / web research | — | Optional on Plus+ ChatGPT plans. | Plus, Pro, Business — web search + multi-image synthesis. |
|---|
| Multi-image output | 1 frame per turn unless manually iterated. | 2–4 related frames when prompts ask for sequences. | 3+ panel sets after research passes. |
|---|
| Best for | Quick social stills and first drafts. | Packaging labels, signage, and 3:1 banners. | Storyboards, infographic research, campaign explorations. |
|---|
| When to pick | Fast ideation when extreme crops are not required. | Readable type, 3:1–1:3 crops, or scoped photo edits. | Briefs that need web research before multi-panel delivery. |
