Google’s New Nano Banana is the best AI image Generator

A few days ago, a mysterious AI image generator called Nano-Banana went viral, with early testers speculating that it belonged to Google. Many believed Google had quietly released it on LMArena for public testing ahead of an official launch — a common practice for new frontier AI models before a broader rollout.

On Tuesday, Google confirmed that Nano-Banana is indeed its next-generation AI image generation model for Gemini. Officially named Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, this advanced tool is now available to both free and paid Gemini subscribers within the Gemini app. Additionally, its enhanced image editing capabilities will be accessible through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI.

The model has already gone viral, with users ‘going bananas’ over its capabilities. Ranked as the world’s top image editing model by LMArena, Nano-Banana gives you advanced AI tools to create picture-perfect images with ease.

Top Features of Google’s Nano-Banana AI

Character Consistency:

Characters or objects maintain the same identity across multiple revisions.

Combine multiple images:

Upload several photos and seamlessly merge them into one unique scene. For example, you can take your picture and your dog’s photo and blend them into a perfect shot of both of you on a basketball court.

Multi-step editing:

Continue refining the images Gemini creates — start with an empty room, change the wall color, then add a bookshelf, furniture, or a coffee table. Gemini collaborates with you throughout, adjusting specific elements while keeping the rest of the image intact.

Design blending:

Transfer the style from one image to an object in another. For example, you can use the color and texture of flower petals for a pair of rain boots or create a dress inspired by the patterns of butterfly wings.

This enhanced image editing feature is now available worldwide for both free and paid Gemini users. Every image created or modified in the Gemini app will include a visible watermark along with our invisible SynthID digital watermark to indicate it was AI-generated.
