Nano BananaAI image generator
The original — fast, reliable edits. Pay only for the takes you keep — kill the rest for a full refund.
Nano Banana is Google's original Gemini image model (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image), released August 26, 2025. It appeared first on LMArena as nano-banana and ranked as the top image editor there, known for edits that keep a person, pet, or product looking like itself. Google built it for natural-language local edits, multi-image blends, and multi-step restyles. On Elyum it is text to image and image editing, with 10 aspect ratios.
Use it for likeness-preserving photo work, product-in-scene composites, figurine stills, and sequential character frames. One credit balance across 50+ models, from a Free plan with 150 starter credits up to Ultra, plus top-ups. Also runs from Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor through Elyum's MCP server and REST API.

Why Nano Banana is good
Google built Nano Banana to keep a person, pet, or product looking like itself across edits. Change outfits, decade, or location and the subject still reads as the same one.
Tell it to blur a background, remove a stain, drop a person from a frame, recolor a black-and-white photo, or restyle a room in steps. Edits are prompt-driven, not a layer stack.
Attach more than one still and fuse them. Google showed putting an object into a new scene, combining a person and a pet, and applying one object's texture to another.
Nano Banana is Gemini 2.5 Flash Image: the original, low-latency banana. Generate or edit, then iterate, without waiting on a heavier thinking model.
Generate from a prompt, or attach a still and rewrite it. Both routes sit in the Elyum image studio with 10 aspect ratios.
Credits charge only when you keep a take: 2.4 credits ($0.02) per render. Kill the rest and they refund in full. Kept downloads are clean, full quality, and watermark-free.
