Strengths & Prompt-Writing Comparison

GPT Image 2.6

Looping animations and reaction stickersSeries featuring the same character or productIn-image Chinese text and layoutFocused edits that change one thing
For animations, break the motion into individual frames, state what stays still, and ask for the last frame to lead back to the first. For a series, start with a clean base image that has one checkable detail, then list what must not change. Use low complexity for small edits and high complexity for dense text and intricate layouts.

Mixing Chinese and English in one prompt still parses fine. When you need Chinese text to appear in the image, put the exact wording in quotes and specify its position and size too.
