Nano Banana is an AI image generation model developed by Google. It supports text-to-image generation, image-to-image transformation, and image editing. Known for its fast generation speed and affordable pricing, it's ideal for creators and businesses that need high-volume image generation.

How does Nano Banana compare to Midjourney?

Nano Banana is significantly faster and more affordable than Midjourney, making it better suited for high-volume workflows. Midjourney offers more artistic refinement and higher maximum resolution. For rapid prototyping and cost-sensitive projects, Nano Banana is the better choice; for premium artistic quality, consider Midjourney.

What types of images can Nano Banana generate?

Nano Banana can generate a wide variety of images including photorealistic scenes, digital art, illustrations, product photography, portraits, landscapes, concept art, and more. It supports multiple artistic styles and can adapt to your creative direction through detailed prompts.

Is Nano Banana free to use?

New accounts get 5 sign-up credits, and logged-in users can claim 5 check-in credits every day. After that, Nano Banana stays pay-as-you-go with no subscription required.

What is the difference between Nano Banana and Nano Banana Pro?

Nano Banana Pro is the premium version with higher quality output, enhanced detail, and more refined results. Standard Nano Banana is faster and more affordable, ideal for rapid prototyping and high-volume use. Choose Pro when quality is the top priority and standard when speed and cost matter more.

Can Nano Banana edit existing images?

Yes. Nano Banana supports image-to-image transformation and image editing. Upload an existing image and use text prompts to modify it — change styles, adjust lighting, add or remove elements, or completely reimagine the scene while preserving key structural elements.

What resolution does Nano Banana support?

Nano Banana generates images at up to 2K resolution with flexible aspect ratios including square (1:1), landscape (16:9), portrait (9:16), and custom ratios for various use cases.

What are the best alternatives to Nano Banana?

Popular alternatives include Midjourney V7 (premium artistic quality), Flux 2 (fast open-weight model), GPT-4o Image (outstanding text rendering), Ideogram 3 (best typography), and Imagen 4 (Google's flagship model). Each has unique strengths — compare them in the table above.
