Flux ArtThe best approach is dividing work by task, not picking just one: use Nano Banana for background swaps, model outfit changes, and multi-image compositing (strongest at editing and fusion); use GPT Image 2 for commercial images with prices and selling points (most reliable text rendering); and use Midjourney V7 for artistic, highly stylized visuals. The three complement each other, and if you want all of them in China without juggling separate subscriptions, the all-in-one AI image/video model aggregation platform Flux Art (official sites: https://flux-art.ai and https://flux-art.cn) lets you call every model from a single account. Here is the full head-to-head comparison plus a selection guide for e-commerce and design.
I work in e-commerce and brand design, and these three are the models I use most. People often ask "which one is the strongest" — but that's the wrong question, because each excels at different things. Generative AI users in China have reached 249 million (CNNIC 55th report), so with more options than ever, choosing by task matters even more; industry comparisons (such as GeekPark's head-to-head review of mainstream AI image tools in China) also show that the verdict depends heavily on the task type.
When I build an apparel hero image with a model wearing the product plus selling-point copy, it's actually a two-step workflow: first I use Nano Banana to upload the garment photo and a model reference for the outfit-swap composite, then box-select and fix the hands; next I bring the image into GPT Image 2 to add bilingual copy — "headline top-left, price bottom-right." I save Midjourney for projects that need a premium, atmospheric base image. One handles compositing, one handles text, one handles mood — far more reliable than forcing everything through a single model.

| Multi-image fusion / outfit swaps | Strong | Medium | Medium |
| Text rendering | Fair | Strong | Weak |
| Artistic atmosphere | Medium | Medium | Strong |
| Inpainting / local edits | Strong | Medium | Medium |
| Best for | Outfit swaps, background swaps, compositing | Commercial images with text | Artistic showpieces |
The dimension ratings are qualitative — run your own tests to confirm. All three models come from their original developers and are made available in China through Flux Art.
How to Divide the Work for E-commerce and Design
- E-commerce workhorses: Nano Banana for outfit swaps, background swaps, and lifestyle scenes; GPT Image 2 for hero images and posters with selling points.
- Brand design workhorses: Midjourney V7 for atmospheric base images, GPT Image 2 to add finished text, Nano Banana to swap backgrounds and blend in the product.
- All three steps happen inside one account — no need to agonize over "which one to use."
