1. Generate Images with AI Nano Banana
With Nano Banana (Gemini Flash Image Generator), you can generate stunning images directly from text prompts.
Simply describe what you wantāwhether itās a realistic photo, a cinematic scene, or a creative illustration.Ā
The AI instantly transforms your text into high-quality visuals.
TheĀ character consistencyĀ is one of the strongest points. Gemini Flash Nano Banana can keep the same person, pet, or object looking identical across multiple images, which many models struggle with.
If you generate a character (e.g., āa young woman with short red hair in a leather jacketā), Nano Banana can recreate the same woman in your next prompts.Ā
For example, you can continue with āthe same woman walking a dog in a parkā and the model will keep her identity consistent. Most AI models tend to drift and change faces or outfits, but Nano Banana is trained to preserve those details across multiple consecutive generations.
2. Edit Photos with AI Nano Banana
Here are the most popular AI photo editing tasks users typically do with models like Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) or Flux Kontext:
- Background Replacement ā swap plain or ugly backgrounds with clean, scenic, or branded backgrounds.
- Object Removal ā erase unwanted people, objects, or distractions.
- Adding New ElementsĀ ā insert objects, props, or even people seamlessly into existing photos.
- Face & Portrait Editing ā smooth skin, adjust expressions, change hairstyles or clothing.

- Style Transfer āĀ take the artistic style of one image (like a painting, sketch, or photo filter) and apply it to the content of another image; keep the subject, but change its look.
- Color & Lighting AdjustmentsĀ ā enhance brightness, contrast, tones, or recolor elements.
- Restoration & Upscaling ā improve image quality, sharpen blurry shots, or generate high-resolution versions.
- Zoom In & Zoom Out ā enhance images by adding details when zooming in and expand scenes when zooming out (imaginatively extending beyond the original frame).
3. Blend Images Into One with Nano Banana
My favoriteĀ Nano Banana featureĀ is image blending. It lets you effortlessly combine multiple images into a single seamless composition. You can blend images, merge images, combine images into one new and amazing image.Ā
Google Nano Banana is WOW!
The image blending feature in Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) is not strictly limited to two images. While examples often show blending two images into one, the model can handle multiple images to create a single composite, as long as the prompt and composition are clear.
Tips for best results:
- Reference the images clearly: Mention which subject comes from which image.
- Specify style and mood: e.g., ārealistic,ā ācinematic lighting,ā āsoft focus,ā etc.
- Use action or interaction if needed: e.g., āthe girl is walking the dog along the alley.ā
- Adjust composition: You can say āgirl in foreground, dog beside her, alley stretching into the background.ā
Prompt:
“Merge Image 1 (dog), Image 2 (girl), and Image 3 (park alley – optional) into a single cohesive scene. The girl is walking the dog along the park alley, natural interaction between them, realistic lighting, vibrant colors, soft shadows, and balanced composition. Ensure all elements look integrated and consistent.”

Google Nano Banana Name
Where the āNano Bananaā Name Comes From
- Nano Banana Nickname on LMArena: In August 2025, an AI image model appeared on the crowdsourced testing site LMArena under the codename āNano Banana.ā It quickly stood out for its performance and topped blind āBattle Modeā evaluations.
- Social Media Hints: Before the official launch, Google insiders and even CEO Sundar Pichai, teased the model with banana emojis, sparking curiosity online.
- Viral Nickname: Once news and posts leaked the codename, āNano Banana AIā spread rapidly. Itās short, memorable, and meme-friendly, making it stick in peopleās minds compared to the more technical āGemini 2.5 Flash Imageā.
- Playful Codenames Google tradition: Google and DeepMind often use fruit-themed codenames internally. āNano Bananaā followed this tradition as the internal nickname before the public release.
š Nano Banana = codename / nickname
ā” Gemini 2.5 Flash Image = the official product name.
So, even though the modelās official name is āGemini 2.5 Flash Imageā, people (including Google engineers internally) started calling it āNano Bananaā. Perhaps the even shorter name will be Google Banana AI.
