Which AI image model makes the best wide banner
A hero banner needs two things: a wide frame and empty space for the headline you will add. We asked 36 models for a 21:9 workspace scene with the left third clear and checked who left it clear. The grid includes the September 18 additions; each model page dates its own run.

What the side-by-side shows
Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2, Seedream 5.0 Pro, Seedream 5.0 Lite and Ideogram 4.0 all left a clean wall for the headline at a true 21:9. FLUX.2 Pro and Nano Banana 2 Lite are close. The failures all did the same thing: they filled the space with their own copy. Seedream 4.5 wrote 'Collaborate & Innovate', Recraft V4.1 wrote a tagline and a button, Grok Imagine 1.0 wrote 'Collaborate in Style', Nano Banana 2 added a 'Learn More' button, and Recraft V3 printed the words 'Website Hero Banner' across the image. Of the 22 October additions, Krea 3, FLUX 3 Image Klein, Muse Image and MOSS-Image left a bare wall at a true 21:9; Recraft V4.1 Flash filled its left half with nonsense text ('Waciefpnsdsatwetore'), and both MAI-Image-2.5 models stop at 16:9. Ideogram Vector leaves the left side clear without adding text; its endpoint requires a 2:1 substitute for the requested 21:9.
