Gemini vs ChatGPT for AI photo editing: which one to use
A plain comparison of Gemini (Nano Banana) and ChatGPT for editing your own photos: face accuracy, styles, speed and free limits.
Both apps can turn your photo into a new picture from a prompt. They're good at different things, so the best choice depends on the look you want.
| Gemini (Nano Banana) | ChatGPT | |
|---|---|---|
| Keeps your face | Very good | Good, more stylised |
| Realistic photos | Best choice | Good |
| Art styles | Good | Best choice |
| Text in images | Fair | Very good |
| Speed | A few seconds | Up to a minute |
| Free use | Daily free edits | A few free images a day |
Our rule of thumb
- Festival, saree, wedding, travel, headshots, 3D figurine: Gemini.
- Anime, cartoon, caricature, posters: ChatGPT.
- Captions, study notes, resumes and messages (text prompts): either works.
Every prompt in PromptLens works in both. The app has an "Open in Gemini" and "Open in ChatGPT" button, so you can try the same prompt in each and keep the one you like.
