Most AI image comparisons focus on art. This one doesn't.
The question I wanted to answer: which model can actually handle commercial work - branding, packaging, social media ads - out of the box, with no tricks?
Ran the same prompt through 8 image models. No style references, no LoRAs, no post-editing — just raw output.
The prompt was:
Create a photorealistic social media advertisement for a fictional premium cat food brand, a happy fluffy cat sitting next to its bowl, owner pouring kibble from a bag into the bowl, sharp focus on the brand name and logo printed on the bag, invent the brand name, logo, and full visual concept
Models tested:
Midjourney v8.1 · Krea 2 Large · Grok Imagine · Nano Banana 2 · GPT Image 2 · Flux 2 Max · Recraft v4.1 · Seedream 5
All eight results below.
If you were briefing this for your own brand, which output would you actually use?
