CNPulse AImageCNPulse AImageThe independent, reproducible benchmark of AI image tools on real cross-border seller tasks. No sponsorship. No paid rankings. Scores any vendor cannot buy.
Every "best AI image tool" list we found ranks by affiliate commission or vendor marketing scores. None publishes first-party, reproducible data on the tasks cross-border sellers actually run. We do — and we blind the tools so the score reflects output, not the payout.
A 2026 review (ezpixy) found every tool failed on transparent / glass products. That is exactly the gap sellers hit with skincare serums, cosmetics, and bottles. Our benchmark isolates this as a standalone score so the truth is impossible to bury.
| Dimension | Weight |
|---|---|
| Product fidelity (material / label) | 30% |
| Platform compliance | 25% |
| Background purity | 15% |
| Batch stability | 15% |
| Usability (prompt-friendliness) | 15% |
| ID | Task | Gap |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | White-background main-image compliance | D1 |
| T2 | Transparent / reflective material fidelity | D2 — ezpixy: all tools failed on glass |
| T3 | Label / logo / text fidelity | D3 |
| T4 | Platform preset adaptation (Amazon / Shopify / TikTok) | D8 |
| T5 | Ghost mannequin collar reconstruction | D4 |
