Image generation for real business use
Task: Make a logo, a product photo and a poster with exact text that a small business could actually use.
Pretty pictures are easy. We test the three jobs small businesses ask for most, including the one most tools struggle with: spelling text correctly.
This is a test plan. Nothing has been run yet, so there are no scores or verdicts below.
How we tested
- Three briefs, each given word for word to every tool: a logo, a product photo (with a reference photo of the real product where the tool accepts one), and a poster with exact text in English and in Arabic.
- Each tool gets up to 3 attempts per brief; we keep the best one and say how many attempts it took.
- A person scores each image from the output only: did it follow the brief, is the text spelled exactly right, and could you use it without editing?
- We record each tool's plan, cost per image (where it's shown) and time.
What we scored
- Follows the brief · human-judged · weight 2
- Does it match what was asked: content, colours, style?
- Text spelled exactly · human-judged · weight 2
- 10 = every letter right; 0 = unreadable. Posters and logos only.
- Usable without edits · human-judged · weight 2
- Could the business use it as is?
- Attempts needed · human-judged · weight 1
- How many tries until the kept image (1–3). Lower is better.
