Today, we’re excited to introduce Nano Banana—Gemini’s upgraded image editing model from Google DeepMind. Already celebrated as the top-rated image editing model in the world, it’s now integrated into the Gemini app, empowering users with unprecedented control over their photo creations.
Keeping You (and Yours) Consistent
One of the most common frustrations with AI editing is the so-close–yet–not-quite-right result, especially when editing people or pets. Nano Banana addresses this by preserving subtle likenesses across edits—whether trying a retro hairstyle, adding a tutu to a chihuahua, or experimenting with fun outfits and settings.
Creative Possibilities Unleashed
- Blend photos for new scenes
Want to play with creativity? Upload your own image and your pet’s photo, then merge them into a single, imaginative scene—think “you and your dog shooting hoops” with remarkable realism. - Multi-turn editing
Build a scene step by step: start with an empty room, paint walls, then add furniture or decor—without losing coherence. Nano Banana remembers and preserves prior edits. - Design mixing magic
Have you ever wanted flower-petal textures on rain boots or a butterfly-wing patterned dress? Now you can—by transferring textures, colors, or styles from one image to another.
Available to All Users—Now
Nano Banana is rolling out globally to both free and paid Gemini users—on mobile and web—beginning today. Every created or edited image carries both a visible watermark and an invisible SynthID digital watermark, indicating AI-generation.
