Create an image from text or edit with ordered references. Choose 0.5K, 1K, 2K, or 4K, set the frame shape, and export one JPEG, PNG, or WebP image.
Nano Banana 2 combines text-to-image creation with reference editing. Choose a lower resolution for a quick composition check or a larger output for detailed review. The workspace offers 0.5K through 4K, supported frame shapes, and JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Editing accepts up to fourteen ordered images; add only references with a clear role.
The two examples show different ways to direct the model. Rooftop Beekeeping Kit begins with text and defines the product parts, materials, camera view, background, and things to avoid. Winter Balcony Bird Feeder begins with two owned images and gives each one a job: the first supplies the feeder design and the second supplies an empty winter balcony. Compare the finished roof, reservoir, perches, tray, support, clamp, perspective, and daylight with both sources. Clear roles are more useful than uploading a mood board without instructions.
Nano Banana 2 works well for frequent exploration, but it still needs a clear brief. Text, object count, hands, small details, reference conflicts, and fine layout can fail. Higher resolution will not repair a confused composition, and extra references can introduce conflicting lighting, perspective, or identity cues. Keep the smallest useful reference set and review factual details before judging polish.
Nano Banana 2 suits general image work when each prompt and reference contributes distinct, non-conflicting information.
Define an original object, its material logic, camera angle, light, background, and the space reserved for copy. If text must appear, quote the exact line and forbid all other text. Describe one primary visual hierarchy instead of requesting a product photo, packaging system, exploded diagram, lifestyle scene, and advertising layout in the same image.
Use ordered references when different inputs own different parts of the result: subject, environment, material, pose, palette, or layout. State those roles in the prompt and preserve the order in the draft. If two images both claim the subject identity or camera perspective, remove one or decide which source wins before generating.
Start with a lower-cost image to judge composition, color direction, or product silhouette. Once the direction is useful, select 2K or 4K and the format your destination needs. Compare details and identity again after changing settings; a larger output still needs creative review.
These limits help you reduce reference conflicts and catch details that can still be wrong in a polished-looking image.
You can use up to fourteen ordered references, but most tasks should use fewer. Every additional image introduces identity, perspective, palette, lighting, and rights information. Remove any source without a unique responsibility; a smaller, well-labeled set is easier to direct and review.
Exact typography, labels, diagrams, counts, and product details can still be wrong even when the image looks polished. Quote required copy, forbid extra text, and verify the result manually. Do not publish generated factual diagrams, packaging claims, or instructions without human review.
Use images you created, licensed, or have permission to transform. Do not use private photos, protected characters, copied products, trademarks, or a living artist’s style as shortcuts. You remain responsible for rights, consent, and how the result is used.
An image starts at 15 credits at 0.5K, 20 at 1K, 30 at 2K, or 40 at 4K. Review the final amount before generation. Preparing a draft does not use credits.
Create an image from text or edit with ordered references. Choose 0.5K, 1K, 2K, or 4K, set the frame shape, and export one JPEG, PNG, or WebP image. Online generation is not available yet. Drafts stay in this browser and do not upload references or spend credits.
A reliable image workflow separates the creative objective, reference roles, output settings, and review criteria.
Start with text only when the model should invent the subject and scene. Add references when you have owned visual facts that must carry into the result. Do not add an image simply as decoration; each reference should own a named role in the brief.
Put the most identity-critical source first, then add environment, material, layout, or palette sources in a deliberate order. Repeat those responsibilities in the prompt because swapping inputs can change which source has the strongest influence.
Choose resolution, frame shape, and file format for your destination. Check the credit estimate after changing resolution, and keep one output selected. The example drafts retain their original settings so you can use them as a starting point.
First check subject identity, object count, exact text, reference roles, proportions, and required exclusions. Then judge lighting, texture, mood, and polish. If a factual requirement failed, revise the brief or reduce conflicting inputs before preparing another version.
Plans for image and video

Not yet. You can select Nano Banana 2, write a prompt, add local references, choose settings, and keep the draft in this browser without uploading anything or spending credits. The page will clearly show when online generation becomes available.
Yes. Nano Banana 2 is the practical starting point for frequent prompt and reference work. Nano Banana Pro is a separate model with its own examples, settings, and starting credits; it is not simply a quality switch on this page.
Reference editing supports up to fourteen ordered images, but most briefs should use fewer. Give every image a distinct responsibility, state those roles in the prompt, and keep the order intentional so the model receives a clear visual hierarchy.
Both workflows offer 0.5K, 1K, 2K, and 4K, supported aspect ratios, and JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Each request produces one image. Reference editing accepts 1–14 ordered images; text to image needs none.
Yes. Rooftop Beekeeping Kit starts from text, while Winter Balcony Bird Feeder uses two owned references with different roles. They are real Nano Banana 2 results, but a new prompt, style, or reference pair can behave differently.
0.5K starts at 15 credits per image, 1K at 20, 2K at 30, and 4K at 40. The workspace shows the final estimate before generation; reading this guide or preparing a draft does not use credits.
Open Nano Banana 2 in the image workspace. Start with the smallest useful reference set, then review the prompt, order, aspect ratio, resolution, format, and starting credits before you continue.
