How to choose the right engine
What is image-to-image AI?
Image-to-image AI takes a source image plus a prompt and produces a modified version — preserving the layout, lighting and subject while changing what you ask for. It covers photo editing, style transfer, object insertion / removal, inpainting, upscaling, character transplants and multi-reference remixing.
How to choose
Photoreal edits (replace a sky, restyle clothing, swap background)? ChatGPT Image 2 Edit and Nano Banana 2 are very strong. Local edits with mask / inpainting? Ideogram 3 Edit. Pixel-level fidelity and high detail? Flux Kontext (Pro / Max) and Flux 2. Multi-image remix from up to 8 references? Flux 2 Image-to-Image. Aggressive restyle / editorial look? Seedream 4.5 Edit.
Tips for clean edits
Use a high-resolution source. Describe the edit explicitly ("replace background with a Tokyo street at dusk, keep lighting on the subject"). For local edits, prefer models that accept a mask. Keep the subject area unobstructed in the input for the best preservation.
FAQ
Which image-to-image AI is best in 2026?
ChatGPT Image 2 Edit leads on photoreal scene edits and natural lighting; Flux Kontext / Flux 2 on fine detail; Seedream 4.5 Edit on editorial style; Ideogram 3 on text + remix; Nano Banana 2 on fast cheap iterative edits.
Can I edit a specific area only (inpainting / mask)?
Yes. Ideogram 3 Edit accepts a mask URL alongside the image. Other engines do whole-image edits guided by your prompt.
Can I combine multiple reference images?
Yes. Flux 2 Image-to-Image accepts up to 8 input images to mix.
Does image-to-image keep the original style?
Most modern engines do — they preserve lighting, color palette and composition and only change what your prompt requests. Tell the prompt explicitly what to preserve ("keep lighting", "keep facial identity").
How much does an image edit cost?
Same gem wallet as text-to-image. Most edits cost 5–25 gems depending on engine and output resolution. The exact gem cost is shown on each engine page before generation.
