Working with MAI-Image-2.5
MAI-Image-2.5 is Microsoft's image pair. The text-to-image variant produces photorealistic output with pixel-level control for design and marketing teams; the image-to-image variant applies precise, localized edits while faces, scene structure, lighting and original details survive the change.
When to choose MAI-Image-2.5
Choose MAI-Image-2.5 when an edit has to be surgical and the face must not shift. Flux Kontext is the alternative for instruction editing; Bria is the pick when licensing provenance matters.
Choosing between the variants
Text to Image generates a new photorealistic composition. Image to Image is the localized editor and is the one to use whenever a real person's face appears in the source.
* FREQUENTLY ASKED
About MAI-Image-2.5
- What does MAI-Image-2.5 preserve during an edit?
- Faces, scene structure, lighting and original details — the edit stays local rather than regenerating the whole frame.
- What is pixel-level control?
- It means edits can be targeted precisely rather than applied as a global restyle, which is what design and marketing revisions usually need.
- Is it photorealistic or stylised?
- Photorealistic by design. For stylised or illustrative work, Krea 2 Medium or Flux Krea are better suited.
