Nano Banana 2 - Image Edit

Try Nano Banana 2 - Image Edit in the Workbench

Run this model interactively, tune parameters, and compare outputs.

Model ID: nano-banana-2-edit Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (aka nano-banana), is a state-of-the-art image generation and editing model capable of blending multiple images into a single image, maintaining character consistency for storytelling, making targeted transformations with natural language prompts (e.g., blurring backgrounds, removing objects, altering poses, colorizing B&W photos), and using Gemini’s world knowledge for semantic understanding of real-world scenarios. It excels at visual templates for applications like real estate, badges, product mockups, multi-image fusion (e.g., placing objects in scenes, restyling rooms), and interactive educational tools. The model includes SynthID watermarking for AI-generated content identification.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`prompt`	`string`	—	Text description of what you want to generate, or the instruction on how to edit the given image.
`input_image`	`array<string>`	—	Input images to transform or use as reference (supports multiple image urls)

Optional parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
`aspect_ratio`	`string`	`"auto"`	Aspect ratio for the generated image One of: auto, 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, 2:3, 4:5, 5:4, 21:9, 4:1, 1:4, 8:1, 1:8.
