Choosing the right model

Join our Discord community and start learning together!

Once you have your your prompt ready, choose the best Gencraft model to generate precisely what you want. We offer a wide range of models for different needs.

The Default model is trained to perform well on virtually all kinds of prompts. For those who wish to elevate their creativity by experimenting with different models, we’ve provided many others — each with different specialties. We’ll outline here what those specialities are with some examples to illustrate their differences.

An example prompt shown as rendered by both Default and Advanced models

Image 2.0 – Default

Gencraft’s Default model is our bread and butter. Give it any length of prompt and it will give you a stunning result. Most images that come out of this model will be realistic (like a photograph) as opposed to more artistic representations. That’s where our Advanced model comes in.

Image 2.0 – Advanced

We added the Advanced model as an option intended for more experienced users — unlike the Default model, the more descriptive the prompt, the better the result. There is also more variance in the results of the Advanced model, whereas the Default model produces similar results if the same prompt is used repeatedly. This model can do everything from realistic images to abstract art.

When to Use Default vs Advanced Models

In short, our Default model performs well with all lengths of prompts, whereas our Advanced model performs better with long, detailed prompts. The Default model also usually creates photo-like images, so if you want something more artistic like anime, oil painting, or ink you may be better off with our Advanced model.

Use the Default model if:

You’re using a short prompt

You want to create a photo-like image

Use the Advanced model if:

You want more variance in your results

You’re using a longer prompt

You want your result to be anime, painting, or another art style

To illustrate the difference between models, let’s take a look at the result of each model when using a very short prompt, like the word “cat.”

The prompt "cat" from both models, Default on the left and Advanced on the right. The default result is like a photograph, while the advanced one has a digital art style cat wearing a suit and tie. — *The prompt “cat” from both models*

On the left we have the result from the Default model, which is a pretty generic image of a cat. The Advanced model, however, generated something very different — more artistic, and a little more abstract.

When you enter longer prompts, the results from the two models are a lot more similar. See below, where we used the prompt “Wide angle shot of a chess board, vivid neon colors, surrealism, Alice in Wonderland.”

The prompt "Wide angle shot of a chess board, vivid neon colors, surrealism, Alice in Wonderland" from both models. Both results are very similar. — *The prompt “Wide angle shot of a chess board, vivid neon colors, surrealism, Alice in Wonderland” from both models*

Hyper-Realism

If you want hyper-realistic images, you can also choose our Hyper-Realism model. Unlike our Image 2.0 models, this model is trained specifically to create only images that resemble high-resolution photographs. This model will always be free to use for all users, regardless of subscription status.

Other Models: Cute Animals, Coloring Book, and More

We also offer a variety of other models to Pro users that are specifically trained for particular image styles. These currently include: Amazing Details, Cute Animals, Insta 2.0, Insta Natural, Insta Realistic, Long Exposure, Holiday Sweaters, Clay Art, 2D Art, Realistic Details, Logos, Textify, Enchanting Glow, 3D Character, Fire and Ice, Roses, Paint Splash, Stickers, ColorBook, and Paper Art.

If you’d like to utilize some of these specialized models but you’re not a Pro user, don’t worry! We make a few of them available to users on the Free Plan, rotating which ones are free every few weeks. So if the one you have your eye on isn’t currently available, please check back later — you might be in luck!

We are planning to release dozens more models like these in the near future. If you’d like to request a certain style, please let us know at support@gencraft.com or let us know on Discord.
