UltraText Bench: A Comprehensive Bilingual Benchmark for Evaluating Visual Text Rendering in Image Generation

arXiv:2610.09823v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dense visual text requires image generators to reproduce long strings across multiple regions with correct placement and legibility. As short-string rendering improves, evaluation must test sustained performance across more demanding scenes. We introduce UltraText Bench, a bilingual benchmark for prompt-only generation of dense visual text. It contains 432 prompts spanning 24 real-world scene categories and three difficulty levels, split equally between English and Chinese. Each human-reviewed prompt supplies exact strings for four to twelve text regions, paired with structured references for their content, placement, and visual attributes. We use the Q-Judger vision-language model to assess each image against the complete reference, reporting text fidelity, text clarity, spatial quality, and scene quality. Across 24 model configurations, these dimensions reveal different strengths: Z-Image-Turbo gains 3.81 clarity points over Z-Image-Base while losing 14.76 fidelity points under the reported settings. Performance also varies with workload; Qwen-Image-2512's English composite falls from 86.50 at L1 to 42.86 at L3. Ten participants took part in human evaluation of the automatic scores.
