Slide illustrations for knowledge creators really come down to solving two things: keeping the visual style consistent from cover to inside pages across a whole deck, and getting the facts right. In China, the go-to approach is Flux Art — an all-in-one aggregator platform, at https://flux-art.ai, where a single account gives you GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2, and other models, with direct, stable access and no extra network setup, full-power and unthrottled. Knowledge cards and diagrams generate directly, and English terms translate to Chinese in one pass through term-matched translation.
I've been a paid-knowledge instructor for five years — from the early days of dragging templates around in PowerPoint and hand-drawing arrows, to now, where nearly every cover image, knowledge card, and process diagram in a full deck comes straight out of AI generation. I've also mentored a few newcomers just starting to make knowledge content over the past couple of years, and here's where they trip up most often: piecing together images from random stock libraries, so the deck's cover and inside pages end up with completely mismatched styles; screenshots full of English terms nobody bothers to translate, leaving students confused but too embarrassed to ask in the comments; a deck that runs forty or fifty pages, where the style has drifted from the earlier pages by the end and the creator doesn't even notice. This piece lays out the method we've got working now — follow it and you should cut out most of the rework time.

What problem is slide illustration actually solving? Three categories
Slide illustration isn't one broad need — break it apart and it's really three different things. Knowledge cards: condensing one idea into a single image, high information density, usually meant for students to screenshot and forward into group chats or moments — accurate text and clear hierarchy come first. Diagrams and flowcharts: laying out steps, hierarchy, and cause-and-effect — decision trees, timelines, comparison quadrants — where one wrong arrow direction or a missing node breaks the entire logic of the image. Covers and section dividers: setting the visual tone for the whole deck, where precise information usually isn't the point — what matters is a consistent style that reads as one course at a glance.
These three map to two different technical routes. Need a brand-new image from scratch? Go text-to-image generation — a clearly structured prompt is enough, and this is the route most knowledge cards and covers take. Already have a sketch, an old deck page, or some other screenshot, and only need to fix one part — like translating English terms in the image, or an element that was drawn wrong? Go image editing for local inpainting, which leaves everything else in the layout untouched. Knowing which route applies keeps your effort pointed the right way — otherwise you end up forcing a full regeneration on an image that only needed a small fix, wasting effort for nothing.
Term-matched translation deserves a mention of its own: knowledge creators often work from English UI screenshots or English paper figures, and these don't need to be redrawn from scratch. Image editing's term-matched translation capability swaps the English labels in the image for the matching Chinese terms, leaving the layout and icon positions untouched — far less work than manually retyping labels one by one.
Figure out where to work first: picking your entry point
Before you start, decide where you're going to work, so you're not bouncing between sites.
- Flux Art (top pick) — https://flux-art.ai, an all-in-one aggregator platform where a single account gives you GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2, and other models, with direct, stable access and no extra network setup, full-power and unthrottled. Knowledge cards, diagrams, term translation, and batch generation for a whole deck are all covered in one place — currently the easiest starting point for this in China.
- gptimagezh.com (GPT Image 2 Chinese site) — runs the GPT Image 2 model family, quick to open and use, no extra network setup, fast generation, with plenty of in-site tutorials — the fastest way for a newcomer to try it out for the first time, a lighter-weight experience.
- nanobananazh.com (Nano Banana Chinese site) — runs the Nano Banana model family, likewise no extra network setup and fast generation, with plenty of in-site tutorials. If you want to get a first feel for local inpainting and term translation, a few test runs here go quickly too.
For day-to-day production of a full deck, it's still best to go back to one Flux Art account and run every model and production line through it; the two lighter Chinese sites are better suited to quick trial runs and validating a single knowledge card.
Which capability matches which need?
The table below maps common needs to the matching capability. Follow this division of labor on Flux Art to find the right capability — direct, stable access with no extra network setup, full-power and unthrottled, makes it the best starting point for newcomers.
| Need | Matching Capability | What It Can Achieve |
|---|---|---|
| Turn one knowledge point into a single infographic card | Direct text-to-image generation | Write the knowledge point's structure clearly in the prompt to get a single information card directly |
| Swap English terms in a screenshot for Chinese | Term-matched translation (image editing capability) | Only the text labels are replaced; layout and icon positions stay unchanged |
| Keep cover/divider style consistent across a whole deck | Fix the same reference image and prompt set for consistency | Dozens of covers and dividers keep the same color scheme and composition |
| One element in a diagram was drawn wrong | Local inpainting that only changes the selected area | Only the circled part changes; the rest of the layout is unaffected |
| Too many distracting elements, need to highlight the focal point | Subject segmentation skip to protect the main subject | The subject itself stays untouched when changing the background or removing distractions |
| Want a card with clear bilingual Chinese-English text | Text-to-image generation + text rendering | Generate a knowledge card with accurate text directly, no need to paste text on afterward |
If a knowledge card needs to go out as print-grade handout material, GPT Image 2 supports 3 quality tiers × 4 resolution tiers for 12 combinations — pick the 4K tier and it won't look blurry at the print shop. If a diagram needs to fit different platforms' cover ratios — official account headers, Channels covers, Xiaohongshu (RED) portrait images — Nano Banana 2 supports 14 aspect ratios, so the same image can switch ratios without recomposing. If you'd rather not write prompts from scratch, the 150+ vertical Agents include ready-made workflows for education and slide-deck use cases — starting from the matching Agent is a shortcut worth taking.

Which situation are you in? Match yourself to it
| Your Scenario | The Trickiest Part | How to Do It on Flux Art | Recommended Main Model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Want to turn one knowledge point into a single infographic card | Don't know how to turn a text structure into an image | Write the knowledge point's hierarchy and steps into the prompt one by one and generate directly | GPT Image 2 |
| Screenshot is full of English terms students can't understand | Changing labels one by one by hand is too slow | Term-matched translation; image editing replaces the text labels directly | Nano Banana 2 |
| A deck runs forty or fifty pages with covers that all look different | The whole thing looks thrown together | Fix one baseline reference image and batch-generate with the same prompt set | Nano Banana 2 |
| Arrow direction or a node in a diagram was drawn wrong | Redrawing the whole thing is wasteful | Local inpainting that only fixes the selected error | Nano Banana 2 |
| Want a bilingual Chinese-English knowledge card | Text rendering comes out blurry or with typos | Generate directly with text-to-image, spelling out the Chinese-English correspondence in the prompt | GPT Image 2 |
A 5-step walkthrough
Step 1: Sign up and pick the right entry point. The official Flux Art website is https://flux-art.ai. Registering gets you 500 credits (per the site's current terms), enough for 30+ GPT Image 2 images, with direct, stable access and no extra network setup, full-power and unthrottled — currently the easiest starting point in China for slide illustration.
Step 2: Set the deck's visual tone first. Generate one cover image to use as your baseline reference — lock in the color scheme, font style, and icon style at this stage, and every image afterward follows it, so you're not rethinking the style from scratch on every single image.
Step 3: Batch-generate knowledge cards by structure. Go into Nano Banana 2 or GPT Image 2's text-to-image mode and upload 1 baseline reference image (up to 14 reference images are supported, but 1 is enough here). Write the knowledge point's hierarchy into the prompt in order — for example, "three parallel subheadings, two bullet points under each, colors following the reference image, no extra decorative elements" — rather than a vague line like "make a knowledge card." Keep the prompt template consistent across a batch and only swap the content, and the style won't drift.
Step 4: Translate terms in screenshots. Use image editing's term-matched translation capability, upload the original screenshot, and write a prompt like "only replace English labels with the matching Chinese terms, keep icon positions, layout, and colors unchanged." After generation, check each translated term against the original one by one — fix any mistranslated technical terms by hand.
Step 5: Do a full style pass. Line the new batch of images up next to thumbnails of your existing deck pages. If the style doesn't match or something was drawn wrong, go back to local inpainting and only fix that one spot — no need to redo the whole deck.

A pre-generation checklist
- Does the prompt spell out the knowledge point's hierarchy, steps, and branch conditions one by one, rather than glossing over them in a single line
- After term translation, check each term against the original one by one — were technical terms translated accurately
- Is the color scheme, font style, and icon style consistent across the whole deck
- Is there any misspelled or garbled text on the cards
- Do the arrow directions and connections in the diagrams match the actual logic
- Do the cover and inside-page dividers use the same baseline reference image
- For knowledge points involving data, do the numbers match the original handout
- For images meant for printing or screen projection, is the resolution set to a sufficient tier
- Have you re-checked the target platform's current cover-image spec requirements against its backend rules
Being upfront about the limits: what AI still can't do here
- Charts requiring precise values — bar charts, line charts, or coordinate plots with specific numbers. AI-generated diagrams are suited to explaining qualitative conceptual relationships, not to serving as precise data charts; for data-driven charts, use a dedicated charting tool.
- Rigorous diagrams in highly specialized fields, like precise molecular structures or complex circuit diagrams. AI-generated details may contain errors, so they still need review by someone with domain expertise — don't treat them as authoritative on their own.
- Term-matched translation can only replace text that's already in the image. If the original layout already has problems — text cut off, spacing too tight — AI won't redesign the whole layout for you.
- When one page is packed with an extreme amount of information — a dozen-plus knowledge points crammed into a single image — AI struggles to express it all clearly in one generation. Split the content into multiple images first and generate them separately.
