Good to know
What it is best for
Reach for it when the job is not one edit but eight: the same character through a comic strip, one product across a whole set of listing shots, a mascot in six poses. It takes a single reference image and carries its face and style into the next frame, so a series stays recognisably one series. Nano Banana 2 Lite is quicker for a single fix; Kontext is what you use when continuity is the actual requirement.
Feed it one reference at a time and keep your wording identical between runs, changing only the part that should differ: same sentence, new pose, new background. That repetition is what holds the character together. Drop the photo and it generates from text alone, which breaks the chain, so keep attaching the frame you are building from, including one it just made.
Process
Three steps to a finished image
- Open the bot@StarGenAI_Bot, and the Mini App from there. Nothing to download.
- Describe a shot or send a photoYour own prompt, or a ready preset in one tap. A photo gets reworked rather than redrawn.
- Take the image back to the chatIt lands in the same chat you started from, and it turns into a sticker pack.

FLUX.1 Kontext takes a text prompt or a photo. Send it straight from the chat: the file is already in Telegram, so there is nothing to upload.
Which version of FLUX.1 Kontext should I pick?

Other models for images
Nano Banana 2
Google's flagship image model. It draws from a description and reworks whatever you send it, and text inside the frame comes out readable, which most models still cannot manage.
from 9 Stars
GPT Image 2
OpenAI's image model reads a long prompt closely and keeps things where you asked for them. Good when the frame needs legible text or a scene built exactly to description.
from 2 Stars
FLUX.1 Schnell
The quick draft model: you type a prompt and it draws it. Take it when you want to run through a dozen ideas rather than polish one.
from 1 Star
Nano Banana Pro
The bigger Nano Banana: 2K output, clean text inside the frame, and edits that keep the detail. It works from a photo or from a prompt alone.
from 20 Stars
Seedream 5 Pro
ByteDance's photo editing: it swaps clothes, backgrounds and style without redrawing the person. It will not start without a photo, text alone is not enough.
from 10 Stars
Pruna P-Image
The fastest image here and one of the cheapest. Take it when you want to run through a dozen ideas rather than polish one.
from 2 Stars
Nano Banana 2 Lite
Google's editor: attach a photo, say what to change in plain words, and the face and the light survive it. Leave the photo out and it just generates from the prompt.
from 5 Stars
Seedream 5 Lite
The junior Seedream: the same grasp of a complicated scene as the Pro, at a fraction of the price. Strong on keeping a frame internally consistent.
