Top-down arranged compositions and aesthetic product flat lays — see how these models compare with real AI-generated outputs.
Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Flat lay content lives or dies by composition clarity: clean top-down geometry, believable shadows, consistent surface texture, and product details that read instantly. In Influencer Studio, Nano Banana Pro and Z-Image Turbo both generate flat lays from prompts, but they’re optimized for different priorities.
This comparison focuses on common flat lay needs—packaging and label legibility, brand-safe typography, prop styling, background consistency, and how quickly you can iterate from a mood board idea to a publish-ready top-down arrangement.
Flat Lay — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Top-down flat lay on a clean white café table: a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark hair leans into the overhead phone camera from the edge of the frame, looking up near the lens with a relaxed, candid half-smile, wearing a cozy oatmeal sweater and simple gold hoops. Aesthetically arranged around her are two smartphones labeled “Nano Banana Pro” and “Z-Image Turbo,” an iced latte, notebook with quick comparison notes, earbuds, lip balm, and sunglasses in a balanced layout. Soft natural window light, casual Instagram Stories vibe, slightly imperfect real-life placement (a few coffee drips, crumpled receipt) to feel authentic."

Nano Banana Pro Strengths
- Best-in-class label and packaging text rendering for flat lays (logos, ingredient lists, taglines) with fewer garbled characters
- Marketing-grade polish for top-down product arrangements—clean edges, consistent lighting, and premium-looking surfaces
- Up to 4K output for sharp flat lay details (fine print, fabric weave, cosmetic textures) and crop-friendly compositions
- Stronger prompt comprehension for multi-object scenes (e.g., “center product, 3 props at 2/6/10 o’clock, negative space for headline”)
- More reliable brand-style adherence when prompts specify typography, color palettes, and layout constraints
Z-Image Turbo Strengths
- Ultra-fast generation for rapid flat lay ideation—easy to explore many compositions, colorways, and prop sets quickly
- Lower cost per image (8 credits) for high-volume testing of top-down arrangements and seasonal variations
- Image-to-image support for refining an existing flat lay (adjust background, reposition props, change color accents) without starting over
- LoRA support to better match a specific product line or recurring flat lay style across a campaign
- Good standard-quality results for simple flat lays with minimal text and straightforward product geometry
Verdict
Choose Nano Banana Pro when your flat lay needs to be publication-ready: crisp readable packaging, premium lighting, and high-resolution detail for ads, storefronts, or hero images. It’s the stronger option when typography and brand accuracy are non-negotiable, and when you need 4K outputs for cropping and multi-platform delivery.
Choose Z-Image Turbo when speed and iteration volume matter most—mood-board exploration, A/B testing prop layouts, or building many variations on a theme. It’s especially compelling if you want to refine from a reference via image-to-image or maintain a consistent look using LoRA, while keeping per-image costs low.
