Questions this page answers
- Which image AI for thumbnails, product shots or game art?
- FitForTool has not published a FitScore for this job. The launch candidates are Midjourney, OpenAI GPT Image, Gemini image (Nano Banana), Ideogram, Flux, Recraft, and Adobe Firefly. Each one is listed as not yet tested. A ranking is published only after every tool in the comparison has had the same test pack run, and a person has reviewed the result. Until that page shows a FitScore, there is no winner.
- How will FitForTool test image generation & editing?
- 5 prompts incl. text, consistent character, photo edit. Five prompts. At least one must render specific words. Two must keep a character consistent. One is an edit of a source photo every tool receives. A person checks the words, the character match, and the edit. We name the model version in the published run. We record text accuracy, character match, edit fidelity, time, cost, model version, and plan. Those notes are then scored from 1 to 5 on seven shared criteria. The pack has been specified and has not been run.
- Can a vendor pay to rank higher on this job?
- No. FitForTool does not sell position or score. A sponsorship, if we run one later, is labelled and sits outside the ranked list. An affiliate link is disclosed and does not change order. A vendor may ask for a retest, and we rerun the same pack. Sponsors do not see the result before it is public.
- What does "Not yet tested" mean?
- The tool is a candidate for this job. There is no published hands-on run, so there is no FitScore, no criterion score, and no rank. Research-only is a different label, used when we have read the docs and still have not run the pack. Neither label is a score.
