Generating high-quality 512px icons: SD1.5/SDXL tested, still falling short
Haruka-Oh · reddit · 2026-11-13
A Reddit user seeks advice on generating photorealistic icons at 0.2MP (512×512 scale). Their tests: SD1.5 native gives poor quality and poor prompt adherence; SD1.5 + Hires.fix no better; SDXL native is better but model-dependent; SDXL + Hires.fix is middling and lacks naturalness.
They ask how H3 image, Krea2, and z-image perform for small-size photoreal icons — useful thread for anyone working on tiny-size image generation.
