What is Google's nano banana

"Nano Banana" is the codename for Google's new and advanced image generation and editing model, officially known as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image.

It's a powerful AI tool integrated into the Google Gemini app and API, and it's designed to streamline image editing with simple text prompts. Key features of Nano Banana include:

• Editing with Natural Language: Users can make precise and targeted edits using simple text prompts, such as blurring a background, removing an object, or changing a subject's pose.
• Multi-Image Fusion: It can understand and merge multiple images into a single, cohesive scene. For example, you can put an object from one photo into a different background from another.
• Maintaining Consistency: A key selling point is its ability to maintain character consistency across multiple images, which is useful for storytelling, creating consistent brand assets, or generating a series of product shots.
• Speed: It's known for being remarkably fast, often providing results in a few seconds, which has led some to call it a "real-time" editing experience.
• Accessibility: Nano Banana is available for free to users through the Gemini application, making powerful AI image editing accessible to a wide audience without needing specialized software like Photoshop.

While the "Nano Banana" name has gone viral and is widely used by the community, the official product name from Google is Gemini 2.5 Flash Image.
