Image generation

Best AI for social media graphics

Social graphics need to read at thumbnail size, on a phone, in 1.5 seconds. The right model produces images with strong composition + clear focal points. The wrong one produces busy, detail-heavy art that disappears in a feed.

Our pick
Gemini 3 Pro Image

Best at simple, strong-composition graphics with clear focal points — the social-feed sweet spot.

What to look for in any model

  • 1Specify aspect ratio and platform — Instagram carousels are 1:1, stories are 9:16, YouTube thumbs are 16:9
  • 2Strong single focal point reads better at thumbnail size than busy compositions
  • 3Avoid in-image text — both models still garble half the words. Add text in Canva/Figma after.
  • 4Plan for the safe zone — Instagram crops, IG Stories overlay UI, YouTube watermark in the corner
