Tips

  • Flux Schnell is as cheap as Nano Banana (5 credits) and faster. Good for quick drafts.
  • Flux Pro excels at design and graphic content — logos, icons, illustrations. Nano Banana is better for photos.
  • Inference steps can be tuned via provider options. Higher values = better quality, slower generation.
