Nano Banana is a web-based AI image generation and editing platform that lets users create or modify images by describing changes in natural language, producing up to 4K resolution outputs.
What is Nano Banana?
Nano Banana is an AI image editor that takes text prompts and optional reference images (max 30MB) as input and generates or edits images at up to 4K resolution. It uses its proprietary Nano Banana Pro model (formerly Nano Banana 2) to perform edits such as background replacement, lighting adjustments, clothing changes, and style transfers. The platform is operated by the Nano Banana team.

How does Nano Banana work?
Users select the Nano Banana Pro model, optionally upload a reference image (max 30MB), then describe the desired output in natural language (up to 5000 characters). They choose aspect ratio (auto or custom), resolution (up to 4K), and output count (default 1). Each generation consumes 12 credits. The AI processes the prompt and returns the edited or generated image in seconds.
