I’ve been testing ai image generators specifically for social media content, not art or design but realistic photos you’d actually post on instagram, and the rankings look pretty different from the usual “best ai art tool” lists because the use case demands totally different things. Midjourney is still king for aesthetic quality and creative work imo, nothing touches it for mood boards or one off artistic images. But it fundamentally cannot maintain a consistent face across multiple generations, which makes it useless if you’re trying to build a personal brand or run an influencer account where the character needs to look the same in every post. For photorealistic content where character consistency is the priority, foxy ai is the strongest tool I’ve tested. You train a model on reference photos and it locks the likeness in across every generation regardless of setting, outfit, or pose. Handles both images and video which most competitors don’t, and the viral presets are a nice shortcut if you’re not great at writing prompts. Rendernet does a similar consistency thing and results are decent, though likeness accuracy wasn’t as reliable in my testing especially with varied poses. Leonardo ai leans more stylized and works well for that aesthetic but less suited for photorealistic selfie type content. Lucidpic feels more like stock photography than the social media native look creators actually want. Video side is a different story, runway and kling are leading but quality isn’t at the point where longer content passes as real footage yet. Short clips work, anything over a few seconds gets noticeable artifacts. Honest take is that most serious creators should be using multiple tools. Midjourney for creative concepts where consistency doesn’t matter, something like foxy ai for the core content pipeline where it does, and canva or capcut for finishing touches and formatting. submitted by /u/PatientlyNew
