Google Launches ‘Nano Banana’ Image Model in Gemini With Free Access

The release focuses on rapid multi-step editing plus built-in watermarking for provenance.

Overview

  • Nano Banana, the codename for Gemini Flash 2.5 Image, is live in the Gemini app and on the web at no cost to users.
  • The model creates images from text or edits existing photos with high coherence across consecutive changes, including compositing multiple pictures into one.
  • Capabilities include removing people or objects, changing backgrounds and perspective, recoloring old photos, modifying clothing or poses, and merging scenes.
  • Google marks outputs with a visible watermark and an invisible SynthID tag to indicate AI generation.
  • Adobe says it will integrate the model into Firefly, while Google enforces daily usage limits with a paid option for higher volumes and reviewers note some errors and a lack of high‑resolution output.
