Fit
When to reach for AI image generation
Good for
Hook frames and concept stills for comparing ad openings.
Background and setting tests, which drive perceived authenticity more than most teams expect.
Reference frames that steer a later video generation.
Clean, front-facing persona stills built to be animated by motion transfer.
Not the right tool for
Small typography on packaging, which most image models garble.
Finished hero creative where brand judgement and craft carry the work.
Describe the photograph rather than the product — light, surface, camera distance, mood. Naming only the subject leaves every photographic decision to the model, which is why output varies so much run to run.
