DetailMaster: Can Your Text-to-Image Model Handle Long Prompts?

Abstract

While recent Text-to-Image (T2I) models show impressive capabilities in synthesizing images from brief descriptions, they struggle with the long, detailed prompts required for professional applications. We present DetailMaster, a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating T2I capabilities on long prompts with complex compositional requirements, accompanied by an automated data construction pipeline and an evaluation workflow. Comprising expert-validated prompts averaging 284.89 tokens, our benchmark introduces four critical evaluation dimensions: Character Attributes, Structured Character Locations, Multi-Dimensional Scene Attributes, and Spatial/Interactive Relationships. Evaluations on various general-purpose and long-prompt-optimized models reveal critical performance limitations, showing that weak encoders struggle to preserve syntactic dependencies within prompts and diffusion models suffer from attribute leakage under detail-intensive conditions. Through a controlled ablation study under varying constraints, we further show that high-fidelity generation requires a synergistic combination of expanded prompt limits and long-prompt training. We open-source our dataset and code to foster progress in long-prompt-driven T2I generation.
