<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I’ve been helping a few marketing teams evaluate <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/ai-image-generators">AI image tools </a>specifically for creating <strong>custom social media visuals at scale</strong>. The priority is speed, brand consistency, and the ability to generate large batches of on-brand visuals without needing a designer for each post. I went through G2 data and reviews, and here’s what stood out:</p><ul>
<li>

On the video side, tools like Runway are interesting, but keeping video content on-brand is even harder than static images.

We tried Midjourney for social visuals, but it didn’t fit well for scale. Great for unique creatives, not great for repeatable, on-brand content.

For balancing speed and quality, Canva and 1min.AI are more practical options. Firefly offers greater control but requires an extra step.

### Comment 4

For us, Canva has been the easiest to scale with because of the brand kits. Once you lock in fonts, colors, and templates, it’s so much easier to generate consistent visuals without having to rethink the design every time.
