Flat lay content lives or dies by the details: believable top-down perspective, clean object separation, consistent shadows, and materials that read as real (paper grain, fabric weave, glossy packaging, metal reflections). Influencer Studio offers two strong options for generating aesthetic flat lays—Flux Ultra 1.1 and GPT-Image 1.5—each with a different strength profile.

Below is a focused comparison for top-down arranged compositions: how well each model handles styling accuracy, prop layout, brand-like product shots, and repeatable results for content series. Pricing is also included so you can match quality needs to credit spend.

Flat Lay — Side-by-Side Results

Prompt

"Top-down flat lay shot on a sunlit café table: a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair leans into the edge of frame looking up toward the phone camera, wearing a cozy cream knit sweater and simple gold hoops, mid-reach for her iced latte like she’s filming a quick “coffee break” story. Neatly arranged around her are a croissant on parchment, sunglasses, a lip balm, a small notebook with a pen, and her phone with the camera app open, all on a clean light-wood surface with soft, even natural window light. Authentic, casual UGC vibe—slight imperfections like a few crumbs and a folded receipt for realism."

Flux Ultra 1.1 Strengths

  • Exceptional micro-detail for flat lays (textures like linen, matte paper, wood grain, and subtle scuffs read convincingly)
  • Highly photorealistic lighting and shadows, useful for premium product flat lays and editorial-style compositions
  • Strong material rendering (glass, metal, glossy packaging) that helps items feel “placed” rather than floating
  • Premium polish for hero images where realism and crispness are the priority

GPT-Image 1.5 Strengths

  • Strong prompt adherence for precise flat lay layouts (specific object counts, positions, spacing, and styling rules)
  • Versatile output across styles (minimalist, colorful, lifestyle, seasonal) while maintaining high fidelity
  • Flexible quality tiers (8/16/32 credits) to balance iteration speed vs final-detail renders
  • Reliable for repeatable series: consistent composition instructions and scene requirements across multiple generations

Verdict

Choose Flux Ultra 1.1 when your flat lay needs premium photorealism—high-end product shots, editorial textures, and crisp lighting that sells “real camera” credibility. At 16 credits per image, it’s a straightforward pick for final assets and hero visuals.

Choose GPT-Image 1.5 when layout control and repeatability matter most—especially if you’re building a flat lay content system (same template, new products) or need fast iteration. Its 8/16/32 credit tiers make it easier to draft compositions cheaply and reserve high-cost renders for the final selects.
