A Fast Gemini Image Model Built for Volume and Control

Real-Time Iteration

Get from idea to image in seconds. The pace matches your creative flow: visualize a concept, see it, refine, move to the next. It is built for quick draft-and-refine loops, so you can explore more options without waiting between iterations.

Real-Time Iteration
Predictable Costs for High-Volume Work

Predictable Costs for High-Volume Work

High-volume generation that stays easy on your credits. Run large batches, marketing assets, product shots, and ad variants at a fraction of what heavier models cost, then switch to the full Nano Banana 2 only for the few images that need maximum detail.

In-Paint One Detail, Keep the Rest

Highlight a region and change just that: the watch on a wrist, a shirt color, the text on a sign. The parts you already liked stay in place, so small fixes do not force a full re-run.

In-Paint One Detail, Keep the Rest
Reliable Character Consistency

Reliable Character Consistency

Helps keep the same person, mascot, or product recognizable across a whole set of images. Lite holds character features in place with minimal drift, which makes it strong for series content, brand mascots, storyboards, and concept design.

Image-to-Image and Text-to-Image in One Model

Start from a text prompt or upload an image to transform, both in the same place. Restyle a photo into anime, 3D, or oil-painting looks, or refine a specific area. The model that made the image is the one editing it, so lighting, depth, and style stay consistent.

Image-to-Image and Text-to-Image in One Model
Text That Actually Reads

Text That Actually Reads

Words, labels, and typography render clean and legible inside the image, not as garbled shapes. That matters for ads, infographics, mockups, and any visual that needs to say something.
