AI Tools to Try
| Tool | Key Features | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gemini / Gemini Nano Banana | Strong image editing / generation, viral prompt trends, good for festive themes, mirror work, cinematic lighting | Easy to use, many trending examples, good style & fidelity | Might require paid access for high resolution / no watermark; sometimes difficult with exact face likeness or exact pose |
