Tool by tool
ChatGPT Image
ChatGPT is the best at rendering Korean text among these tools. It handles short headings well. You can adjust text position via chat. For long text, adding it later in an editor is safer.
FLUX
FLUX handles short English text well for an open model. Running it locally allows unlimited draft generations. Korean text breaks, setup requires a capable GPU, and licenses vary by version.
How to choose
The language of your text is the primary factor. For English, Ideogram is the most reliable; for Korean, ChatGPT fares best, though no tool is flawless. For actual work, generating only the background image with AI and overlaying text in Canva or MiriCanvas is the safest approach. This gives full font and editing control. Also consider the editing workflow: ChatGPT is best for conversational text tweaks, while Ideogram or FLUX excel at generating multiple visual variations.
