Nano Banana Surges Past 5 Billion Images as Adobe Adds Google’s Engine to Photoshop

Photoshop support signals mainstream creative adoption beyond the Gemini app.

Overview

  • Google VP Josh Woodward said the Gemini app topped five billion images in under a month, and CEO Sundar Pichai marked the milestone by posting a Nano Banana–generated 3D figurine photo of himself.
  • Adobe confirmed Photoshop now supports Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) engine, offering unlimited use through October 28 before shifting to credit limits by plan tiers.
  • An Android Authority teardown found a new “Create” option in Google Photos that suggests Nano Banana features may be coming to the app, though timing remains unannounced.
  • Perplexity integrated the Nano Banana engine into its WhatsApp bot, enabling image edits from chats, with usage limits and costs not yet clearly detailed.
  • Security researchers highlighted biometric and data‑use risks tied to mass photo uploads to AI tools, urging users to review privacy policies as adoption accelerates.
