Nano Banana 2 is Google's instruction-following image model — built for 'change X to Y' edits while preserving everything else. Write commands in plain English, get the exact change you asked for. The strongest model in our lineup for surgical edits, identity preservation across variations, and natural-language image modification. Free credits on signup.

What makes Nano Banana 2 different from the diffusion models in the lineup.
Unlike diffusion models that try to match a caption, Nano Banana 2 understands instructions. Tell it 'replace the jacket with a sweater' and that's what it does — without rewriting the face, background, or other elements.
Same face, same character, same product — preserved across multiple edits. Generate 10 variations of one subject without it drifting into 10 different people. Critical for character design and consistent product photography.
Standard (1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16) plus wide cinematic (21:9), unusual (5:4, 4:5), and ultra-wide banner formats (4:1, 1:4, 8:1, 1:8). We expose the 7 most useful in the UI.
Choose 0.5K, 1K (default), 2K, or 4K output. 4K is suitable for print and large displays without external upscaling. Higher resolutions cost proportionally more credits.
Pinned to safety_tolerance level 2 (strict). Content violations rejected and credits auto-refunded. We pin this stricter than fal's default 4 because safety is more reliable than user goodwill.
Image-to-image edit endpoint accepts an array of up to 10 reference images. Useful for style transfer with multiple references, or for grounding edits in multiple views of the same subject.
The tasks where Nano Banana 2 is the right tool — based on what we've seen work consistently in testing.
Outfit swap, hair color change, accessory add/remove, background switch, season/weather change — anywhere you want to modify one element while leaving the rest of the image alone. This is Nano Banana 2's specialty.
Generate 6 poses of the same character, or the same product from different angles. Nano Banana 2 keeps the subject coherent. Most useful for game character design, brand mascots, and lookbook-style product shoots.
Take a basic product shot and make targeted improvements — 'change the background to a marble surface', 'add soft directional lighting from the left', 'remove the second product in the background'.
'Change the suit to a turtleneck', 'remove glasses', 'change tie color to navy'. Nano Banana 2's identity preservation means the person still looks like the same person after the edit.
'Sharpen the details', 'fix the lighting', 'change to portrait orientation while keeping the subject'. Subtle edits at low strength preserve the original character while polishing weaknesses.
Generate horizontal, vertical, light-on-dark, and condensed versions of a logo from one source. Or generate icon variations (rounded, sharp, outlined) from one design.
When to use Nano Banana 2 — and when one of the other three is a better choice.
If you want everything to change — different subject, different scene, different style — Nano Banana 2 won't go that far because it's trying to preserve. Z-Image Turbo at strength 0.85+ is the right tool for dramatic rewrites.
Learn more →Nano Banana 2's outputs are good but not premium. For final marketing assets, GPT Image 2 (High) produces noticeably more polished images. The trade-off: GPT Image 2 is slower and doesn't preserve identity as well.
Learn more →For portraits where you want maximum photorealism and you're not doing instruction edits, Seedream 4.5 produces more lifelike skin tones and lighting. Nano Banana 2 is stronger when the task is 'edit this specific photo'.

Five habits that consistently produce better Nano Banana 2 results — based on testing instruction-style edits across many subjects.
'Change the denim jacket to a pink dress' beats 'a woman in a pink dress'. Nano Banana 2 was trained to follow commands — leverage that. Use action verbs like 'change', 'replace', 'add', 'remove', 'make'.
If you want the rest of the image untouched, say so: 'change just the jacket, keep the face and background identical'. This is redundant but helps the model focus on the targeted change.
'Change the jacket AND the hair AND the background' often produces mixed results. Make one edit, save the result, then do the next edit on the saved version. Iterative editing produces better outcomes than batched.
1K is the default and works for most cases. Use 2K for print/banner work, 4K when you're producing assets for high-DPI displays or print without external upscaling. Higher resolutions cost more credits — don't pay for resolution you don't need.
Need a 1:1 social post AND a 9:16 story version? Generate the 1:1 first, then re-generate with the same prompt at 9:16. Identity preservation usually keeps the subject coherent across aspect ratios.
