LMArena · Image editing
We regularly fetch and display public benchmark data: LMArena user-voted rankings and Epoch AI test scores. Each leaderboard shows its publication and retrieval dates. These scores are not produced by this site.
How to read this leaderboard
What it measures: A ranking based on votes comparing two models' results when given an image and editing instructions, such as changing the background or colors.
How to read the score: A relative score reflecting which edited results users preferred. It does not score instruction following and preservation of the original separately.
Caveats: To check suitability for the edits you need, compare models directly using the same image and instructions.
