What You Can Do with Nano Banana 2.1
One model for generating, editing and combining images, all in your browser.
Text to image
Write the way you would brief a designer: subject, setting, light and mood. Then choose auto, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4 or 21:9 and get a finished image. Start with a quick 1K draft, then re-run the winner at 4K.
Natural-language editing
Upload a photo and say what to change: swap the background, restyle an outfit, shift the lighting or recolor a product. Your photo is the starting point, so the composition carries over, and you can keep refining the result with follow-up edits.
Multi-image composition
Combine up to 4 reference images, such as a person, a product, a style and a location, into one coherent scene. The model itself accepts up to 14 references (4 characters and 10 objects), and 4 covers most edits. Tell the model what role each image plays.
Clear text in images
Titles, labels and short captions render legibly for posters, ads and mockups, and Google highlights localized text across several languages. Put the exact wording in quotes for the best results, and keep each line short.
Subject consistency
Keep faces, products and mascots recognizable across a series. Google notes that character consistency is not always perfect, so check every frame before you publish, and reuse the same reference image to anchor the look.
1K, 2K and 4K output
Draft at 1K for 2 credits, step up to 2K for 3, or go straight to 4K for 4. Same prompt, same model, your call. Spend more only on the images that earn it.
