Strengths & Prompt-Writing Comparison

Nano Banana Pro

Consistent characters across multiple reference imagesIn-image text layout & renderingFollows long, structured prompts closelyFine-grained layout for e-commerce & infographics
Feel free to use structured formats (JSON, sectioned lists) when writing prompts — it parses hierarchical instructions much better than piles of short phrases. When text needs to appear in the image, write the exact wording in quotes.

Z-Image Turbo

Bilingual Chinese-English text renderingPhotoreal portraits and scenesExtremely fast generationReliable instruction following
With so few sampling steps, specificity pays. Put the frame and the subject's position at the very front and the style description after, or it will treat the style as the subject.
