What is Gemini Flash Image?
Gemini Flash Image is how Google's image model is named inside the Gemini product line, and it is the same model the internet knows as Nano Banana 2. Two names for one thing is confusing enough on its own, but the more useful question is which member of the line you want, because they are genuinely different tools rather than speed settings.
Flash is the fast middle: it accepts up to 14 reference photos in a single run, which is what makes composites and style transfer possible, it takes prompts up to 20,000 characters, and it outputs at 1K, 2K or 4K for the same flat 50 credits. Above it sits the Pro tier, which is the one to reach for when fine detail has to survive enlargement, at 70 credits.
Below it sits the Lite tier, which takes a single source photo and is the cheaper of the two at 30 credits. On Veida AI this runs through a managed provider channel with the credit estimate shown before you commit.

Choosing a tier
Lite for one photo at a flat cost, Flash for composites and resolution choice, Pro for type and detail.
Also called Nano Banana 2
Gemini Flash Image is the product-line name; Nano Banana 2 is the name it became known by.
The composite tier
Up to 14 reference photos in one run is the capability that separates Flash from the Lite tier.
Pro sits above it
Move up when in-image type or fine detail is the point of the picture.
Flash, Pro, or Lite?
The honest answer is that the tiers do not differ by quality alone, so picking by 'the best one' wastes money in one direction and disappoints in the other. Flash is right when you need several reference photos combined, when you want a say in output resolution, and when the run count is high enough that per-run cost is part of the decision. Pro is right when the image contains type that has to be readable or detail that has to survive being printed or enlarged. Lite is right when the job is one photo, one change, and you would rather not think about resolution pricing at all.
Pick Flash for composites
Up to 14 reference photos in one run — the thing the Lite tier cannot do at all.
Pick Pro for type and detail
In-image text and fine detail are where the top tier earns its higher cost.
Pick Lite for flat pricing
One source photo at one cost regardless of resolution, which keeps quick edits simple.
What the Flash tier covers
The capabilities that define this position in the line, rather than a list every tier shares.
Multi-photo composites
Combine up to 14 reference photos, moving elements and style between them.
Resolution choice
1K, 2K or 4K, and all three bill the same flat 50 credits.
Long prompts
Up to 20,000 characters, which is enough to specify a scene in real detail.
Text to image as well
No reference material required when you want to start from a description.

Picking a tier and running it
The tier decision comes first, because it changes what inputs you can give.
Decide what the image needs
Several source photos, or readable type, or neither — that answer picks the tier for you.
Pass text or photos
Write the scene, or upload up to 14 reference photos to combine.
Choose the resolution
1K for volume and iteration, 4K when the image is the finished artefact.
Check credits and generate
The estimate reflects the resolution you picked. Confirm it and run.
What the Flash tier gets used for
Jobs where the combination of composite input and a resolution choice is what makes them practical.
Sets that share a look
A run of panels or cards that must read as one family, generated in volume at a lower resolution.
Product scenes from parts
Several source photos combined into one composed frame rather than shot together.
Style transfer
Moving the look of one reference onto the content of another, in a single run.
Iterating before a final
Settle the composition in as many passes as it takes, and every one of them — 1K or 4K — costs the same 50 credits.

Gemini Flash Image FAQ
Common questions about Google's Gemini Flash image tier.
Yes. Gemini Flash Image is the name inside Google's product line; Nano Banana 2 is the name it became known by. Same model, same capabilities, same credit cost.
Pro is the tier to use when fine detail has to survive enlargement, at 70 credits a run. Flash is the faster middle that handles composites and general generation, at 50.
Lite takes a single source photo and costs the same at every resolution. Flash takes up to 14 reference photos and lets you choose 1K, 2K or 4K, at a flat 50 credits whichever you pick.
Up to 14 reference photos in one run, accepted as JPEG, PNG or WebP at up to 30MB each.
A flat 50 credits, whichever resolution you pick. The estimate shows before you generate, and a failed generation is refunded automatically.
If you are not sure, start on Lite: at 30 credits a run it is the lighter of the two, so you can judge real output before moving up. Move to Flash the first time you need more than one source photo.
They are the same model under two names: Gemini Flash Image is what Google calls it, Nano Banana 2 is what it became known by. Same capabilities, same 50 credits, and either page runs the same engine.
