Nano Banana 2 Lite FAQ

Nano Banana 2 Lite is the faster, lower-cost version of Google’s Nano Banana 2 image model. On Image Fx, you can create images from text or upload up to 10 reference photos to guide an edit, with every image priced at 3 credits.

You’ll need a paid plan or purchased credits to use Nano Banana 2 Lite on Image Fx. Sign in to generate images at 3 credits each. Free credits alone do not unlock this model. You can browse and copy the prompt examples on this page for free.

3 credits per image, the same for text-to-image and editing regardless of aspect ratio or how many references you add. Generate up to five images per run; the total shows on the button before you confirm.

Yes. Ask for a poster, menu or label and put the exact words you want in quotation marks. It handles several languages, but keep the text short, say where it should go, and check spelling and layout before publishing.

Up to 10 JPG, PNG or WEBP images, up to 30 MB each. Add a photo and describe the edit, or combine several references and tell Nano Banana 2 Lite which details to keep from each one.

Use a reference photo and specify which details to keep, such as facial features, clothing or product details. Results can vary, especially across repeated edits, so compare each image with your original before using it.

Choose Auto or 14 fixed ratios, from square 1:1 to wide 21:9 and tall 9:16, plus banner formats such as 4:1 and 1:8. Auto uses your reference image’s aspect ratio. Lite has a single output size, so there is no resolution to choose.

Use Lite when speed and cost matter most: testing prompts, making variations or producing quick social images. Switch to Nano Banana 2 when you need 2K or 4K output or more reference images for a final piece. Try the same prompt in both and compare the results.

Name the subject, setting, style and composition. For text in the image, put the exact words in quotes. With a reference photo, say what should stay the same and what should change. Refine in a second run instead of packing everything into one prompt.

Taking longer than expected? Choose Check again or open My images to check on your image at no extra credit cost. Credits are refunded automatically for images that fail. If you’re unsure whether generation started, check My images before trying again to avoid using credits twice.
