Create images from text, edit existing images, or generate new images using reference photos with the power of AI and simple, natural language descriptions. Nano Banana makes professional-quality image work accessible to everyone - no design skills or complex software required.
Nano Banana supports three distinct image processing capabilities through a single unified interface:
Simply describe what you want to see, and AI will generate it for you:
- Landscapes and Scenes - "A beautiful sunset over a mountain landscape" or "A cozy coffee shop on a rainy day"
- Objects and Products - "A modern minimalist chair" or "A vintage wooden desk"
- Characters and People - "A professional business person in an office" or "A child playing in a park"
- Abstract Concepts - "The feeling of peace and tranquility" or "Energy and excitement"
- Custom Compositions - "A cat sitting on a stack of books in a library" or "A sports car in a futuristic city"
How to use: Just provide a text description in the prompt parameter. Leave image_urls empty.
Have a photo you want to improve? Provide your image and describe the changes:
- Add or Remove Objects - "Add a rainbow in the sky" or "Remove the person in the background"
- Change Colors and Lighting - "Make it look like sunset" or "Add dramatic lighting"
- Transform Scenes - "Turn this into a winter scene" or "Make it look like a painting"
- Modify Details - "Add flowers to the garden" or "Change the car color to red"
- Creative Edits - "Add a Pikachu character" or "Make it look vintage"
How to use: Provide image URLs in the image_urls parameter and describe your desired edits in the prompt.
Use an existing image as inspiration to create something new:
- Style Transfer - Provide a painting and ask for "a landscape in this artistic style"
- Variation Creation - Upload a design and request "create variations of this logo"
- Concept Extension - Share a room photo and ask for "similar interior designs in different colors"
- Theme Development - Use a mood board image to generate matching visuals
How to use: Provide reference image URLs in the image_urls parameter and describe what you want to create in the prompt.
Key Parameter: The image_urls parameter determines the processing mode. When provided, it enables image editing or reference-based generation. When empty, it performs text-to-image generation.
Simply describe what you want in everyday language, and the AI understands and brings your vision to life.

Nano Banana provides you with building blocks that work together seamlessly:
The Image Generator block turns your descriptions into real images. You can:
- Describe what you want to create in plain language
- Choose how many variations to generate (great for exploring options)
- Select your preferred image format (JPEG, PNG, or WebP)
- Pick the perfect dimensions for your needs (square, widescreen, portrait, and more)
The system processes your description and automatically delivers the finished images when they're ready.
The Image Generator block also handles editing and reference-based creation. When you provide images along with your description, you can:
Edit Existing Images:
- Upload your photos via web links
- Describe the changes you want in everyday language
- The AI modifies your images according to your instructions
Generate from Reference:
- Provide reference images that inspire you
- Describe what you want to create using those references
- The AI creates new images based on your reference and description
Getting Your Results: The Get Results block retrieves your finished images once they're ready. It automatically checks if your images are complete and delivers them to you. You can adjust:
- How often it checks for updates (useful for large batches)
- How long to wait before timing out
Image Generator Workflow: Combines all steps of image generation into one smooth process. You simply describe what you want, choose your preferences, and it handles everything - creating the image and delivering the final result.
Image Editor Workflow: Combines both editing steps into one seamless process. You provide your images and instructions, and it handles everything - submitting your request, waiting for processing, and delivering your finished images.
These building blocks are designed to work in harmony. Here are some creative ways you might combine them:
Generate Then Edit: Create an image from text, then fine-tune it with edits. For example, generate "a modern living room" and then edit it to "add plants by the window."
Reference-Based Creation: Use an existing image as a starting point. Upload a product photo and ask for "the same product in different colors" or share a design you like and request "create similar designs in different styles."
Batch Creation: Generate multiple variations of an idea at once by requesting several images with the same description, then pick your favorite to edit further.
Iterative Refinement: Start with a generated image, edit it, then use that result as inspiration to generate more variations or make additional edits.
Mix with Cloud Storage: Generate or edit images, then combine with cloud storage blocks to organize and save your creations automatically.
Custom Workflows: Use the individual building blocks separately when you need precise control over timing, want to handle multiple requests simultaneously, or are building more complex image processing pipelines.
Marketing and Advertising: Generate product mockups, create social media visuals, or design banner images - all from simple descriptions. "A sleek smartphone on a minimalist desk."
Content Creation: Create unique images for blog posts, articles, or presentations. "An illustration of teamwork with people collaborating" or edit existing photos to match your brand style.
Social Media: Generate eye-catching posts: "A motivational quote on a mountain background." Then edit to add your specific text or branding.
Creative Projects: Bring imagination to life - "A fantasy castle on floating islands" or "A steampunk version of modern technology."
Product Visualization: Create product concepts before manufacturing: "A minimalist water bottle in sage green" or edit existing product photos: "Show this chair in different colors."
Interior Design: Visualize spaces: "A cozy bedroom with warm lighting and plants" or edit room photos: "Add modern furniture to this empty space."
Event Planning: Create venue concepts or edit venue photos to show different decoration styles: "Add festive holiday decorations."
Educational Materials: Generate illustrations for presentations or educational content: "A diagram showing the water cycle" or "Historical figures in period clothing."
