Benchmark prompts
Copy the same six prompts into every AI image generator you test. Fair comparisons need a fixed pack-not cherry-picked demos.
How to use this pack
- Paste each prompt unchanged (except required syntax like Midjourney
--ar). - Generate at default / comparable settings.
- Save the first usable result plus one variation.
- Score with the how we test checklist.
Build custom variants afterward with the prompt generator.
The six prompts
Click copy on each card. These are intentionally hard in different ways.
1. Portrait stress
Hands, skin, eye detail
Cinematic portrait of a 30-year-old ceramicist holding a glazed bowl with both hands, soft window light, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, natural skin texture, highly detailed --no blurry, deformed hands, extra fingers, watermark, text
2. Product on seamless
Edges, shadows, logo mush
Studio product photo of a matte black wireless earbud case on seamless white backdrop, softbox lighting, crisp edges, subtle contact shadow, commercial catalog style --no watermark, text, logo distortion, blurry
3. Landscape coherence
Lighting consistency
Wide landscape of a misty pine forest at sunrise, volumetric god rays through fog, wet mossy ground, 24mm lens, photorealistic, balanced exposure --no oversharpen, watermark, text
4. Text-in-image stress
Most models fail-measure how badly
Clean poster mockup on a cafe wall that clearly reads the words BEST AI IMAGE GEN in bold sans-serif letters, morning light, photorealistic interior photo --no misspelled text, blurry letters, watermark
5. Stylized art
Style control
Illustration of a fox courier on a bicycle delivering letters through a floating island village, studio ghibli inspired, soft watercolor edges, whimsical atmosphere, detailed background --no photorealistic, horror, watermark, text
6. Complex scene
Multi-object composition
Overhead flat lay of a travel desk: open notebook, brass compass, film camera, espresso cup, map corner, soft daylight, organized composition, photorealistic --no clutter chaos, deformed objects, watermark, text
