Nano Banana Pro can generate very polished portraits, but prompt-only generations may require more iteration to match your exact facial details.",{"question":58,"answer":59},"Do I need 4K resolution for a LinkedIn profile photo?","Usually no—LinkedIn displays profile photos relatively small, so 4MP or 2K is often enough. 4K becomes useful if you plan heavy cropping, want to reuse the image across other LinkedIn assets, or need extra detail for banners and repurposed marketing creatives.",{"question":61,"answer":62},"Which model is more cost-effective for LinkedIn headshots?","For standard per-image pricing, Flux 2 is 22 credits (or 16 credits in Klein 9B), with up to 4MP output.

Flux 2 can still create backgrounds and portrait elements well, but text accuracy is not its primary strength.","Short answer: Flux 2 is better for style control & LoRA workflows, while Nano Banana Pro is better for polished final assets.
