CraftyAI brings several image and video models into one workspace. You can choose a model for the kind of creative you need without changing tools or rebuilding your brief elsewhere.

This guide explains the models currently available and the jobs each one is best suited to.

Image models​

GPT Image 2​

Best for: polished campaign images, reference-driven work, product integration, and editing.

GPT Image 2 is the default image model in CraftyAI. It handles detailed natural-language direction well and can work with selected products, logos, and reference assets. It is a strong general choice when accuracy and control matter more than speed.

Grok Image Pro​

Best for: fast visual exploration, product references, and combining up to three source images.

Grok Image Pro can begin from a written idea or use up to three selected product references as authoritative visual inputs. CraftyAI sends those references privately through TokenStation and asks Grok to preserve recognizable product identity while adapting the scene, lighting, angle, and composition. Expand and Retouch remain available through models verified for those specialized editing tools.

Gemini 3 Pro Image​

Best for: product references, structured layouts, and image editing.

Gemini 3 Pro Image responds well to explicit instructions about subject, layout, lighting, background, and exclusions. It supports reference and editing workflows, making it a good alternative for product-focused compositions.

Nano Banana 2 Lite​

Best for: fast text-to-image drafts and straightforward concepts.

This lightweight Gemini model is designed for speed. Use it to test a direction or generate a simple visual from a concise brief. It is exposed as text-to-image only in CraftyAI.

MiniMax Image 01​

Best for: concise text-to-image prompts and quick visual ideation.

MiniMax Image 01 works best with a direct prompt that clearly states the subject, composition, style, lighting, and anything to avoid. CraftyAI automatically keeps its generated prompt within the model's supported length.

Video models​

Whiteboard Explainer​

Best for: narrated explainers, educational content, and hand-drawn stories.

This is CraftyAI's purpose-built workflow for converting a brief or narration into a scene-based drawing animation. It supports landscape and portrait output, optional narration and subtitles, and videos from 5 to 60 seconds.

Seedance 2.0 Fast​

Best for: versatile text-to-video, image-to-video, product motion, and Paper Collage.

Seedance is CraftyAI's default video model and the broadest all-round option. It supports both written prompts and starting images, multiple aspect ratios, and clips from 4 to 15 seconds. It is also the verified animation model behind the Paper Collage workflow.

MiniMax Hailuo 2.3​

Best for: expressive subject movement, atmosphere, texture, and smooth camera motion.

Hailuo supports text and image-to-video generation. Choose it for more dynamic shots where movement and mood are central. CraftyAI currently offers 6- and 10-second clips at 768P or 1080P.

Gemini Omni Flash​

Best for: concise text-to-video scenes with one clear action.

Gemini Omni Flash is available as text-to-video in CraftyAI. It suits an 8-second cinematic instruction with a clear subject, natural camera movement, and a simple ending frame. Starting images are not used with this model on the current interface.

HappyHorse 1.1​

Best for: simple landscape text-to-video shots.

HappyHorse works best with one subject, one action, and one camera move. The current CraftyAI integration produces 5-second landscape clips and does not accept a starting image.

Grok Imagine Video 1.5​

Best for: text-to-video, animating a starting image, or preserving identity from up to seven product or subject references.

Grok Imagine Video can generate from text alone, animate an optional starting image, or use up to seven separate reference images as required visual identity sources. Starting-image and reference-image modes cannot be combined in one request. A starting image defines the opening composition and output shape; reference images preserve recognizable subjects or complementary product views while the prompt and aspect-ratio setting control the new scene. Describe the motion, camera behavior, atmosphere, and details that must remain consistent.

How to choose​

Start with the creative requirement rather than the model name:

  • choose GPT Image 2 for a dependable image workflow with references and editing;
  • choose Nano Banana 2 Lite or MiniMax Image 01 for quick text-only image exploration;
  • choose Seedance 2.0 Fast for the most flexible general video workflow;
  • choose MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 when expressive movement and atmosphere are the priority;
  • choose Whiteboard Explainer for structured, narrated educational content;
  • choose Grok Imagine Video 1.5 for flexible text generation, starting-frame animation, or up to seven identity references.

CraftyAI adapts its prompt guidance to the selected model and always shows the available duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and price before generation. The model list will continue to evolve as new options are tested and become reliable enough for the studio.
