AI image generation · checked 11 November 2026

ChatGPT for most images, Nano Banana in the Gemini app free, Adobe Firefly when a client needs it safe; HeadshotPro or Aragon for headshots.

ChatGPT and Google's Nano Banana both make and edit pictures from a plain sentence with a free allowance; ChatGPT's paid plans start with Go at $8 a month, and Google AI Plus is ₹399 a month in India. Firefly trains on licensed content, which matters for commercial work, and Recraft's free-plan images are not licensed for commercial use. A purely AI-made image generally cannot be copyrighted, and a real person's face in an ad needs their consent.
