What is Nano Banana?
Nano Banana is Google's Gemini image model, and the name most people mean when they say it is the one they want to try. It generates a picture from a written description and it edits a picture you supply, which between them covers most of what an image model gets asked to do. It is the first generation of a line that now runs to several members: the 2 tier added multi-reference editing and resolution tiers, Pro sits above that for detail and type, and 2 Lite sits below as the light everyday tier.
Knowing which one you are on matters more than it sounds, because the newer members accept inputs this one does not. On Veida AI it runs through a managed provider channel, the credit estimate shows before you generate, and a failed generation is refunded automatically.

From input to output
Choose text or photo input, describe what you want, and check the credit estimate before generating.
The model the name refers to
The first generation of Google's Gemini image line, and the version searches for 'Nano Banana' usually mean.
Text and photo input
Generate from a description, or edit a photo you upload by describing the change.
A step on a ladder
Sits below Nano Banana 2 and Pro, which add multi-photo composites and higher resolution tiers.
When the original Nano Banana is the right pick
Pick this one when the job is a single picture from a single input — a described scene, or one photo that needs one change. That is what it was built for and it does it without asking you to choose a tier first. The reason to move up is specific rather than general: go to the 2 tier when you need several reference photos combined into one image or output above its range, to Pro when type has to stay legible and fine detail has to survive, and to 2 Lite when you want the same simple job at a flat cost that does not move with resolution.
Simple by design
One input, one output, one price — nothing to configure before you can see a result.
The name people search
If you came looking for Nano Banana specifically, this is the model that name was attached to first.
An obvious upgrade path
Every limit here has a named model above it that removes exactly that limit.

Nano Banana FAQ
Common questions about the original Nano Banana image model.
It is Google's Gemini image model. It generates pictures from a written description and edits a photo you supply. It is the first generation of a line that also includes the 2, Pro and 2 Lite tiers.
Nano Banana 2 accepts up to 14 reference photos in a single run, which makes composites and style transfer possible, and it outputs 1K, 2K and 4K at the same flat 50 credits. The original handles one input at a time at a single rate.
Use this one for a single picture from a single input. Move to Nano Banana 2 when you need several photos combined, to Pro when type and fine detail have to hold up, and to 2 Lite for a flat cost that does not change with resolution.
Yes — supply one photo and describe the change. Name what should stay the same as well as what should change, or an edit can drift further than you wanted.
It is billed per generation at a single rate, with no resolution tiers to choose between. The estimate always shows before you generate, and failed generations cost nothing.
Check any generated image against your own use case and licence terms. If you supplied a source photo, the rights to that photo apply as well.
Banana 2 supersedes it for most work — same price on Veida AI, newer engine. The original remains for continuity: if you are extending a set generated on it, staying keeps the look consistent.
