Nano Banana: Gemini Image Editor

Image editing has taken an evolutionary leap, and at the heart of this transformation is Nano Banana, Google’s latest-generation artificial intelligence engine that powers Gemini’s creative capabilities. Gone are the days of complex layers and manual tools; today, with just one instruction in natural language, this tool promises to convert a simple photograph or an initial idea into a completely new visual creation. From maintaining a character’s consistency across multiple scenes to merging several images into a unique composition, Nano Banana is not just an editor: it’s a creative copilot that redefines the limits of what is possible in digital art and photo retouching.

Maintain your appearance while editing

Google Workspace surprised us with native image editing in the Gemini app earlier this year and has strived to improve it, with a special focus on maintaining similarity between images. We know that when editing photos of yourself or people you know well, small flaws matter: a “similar but not the same” representation doesn’t look right. That’s why the latest update is designed to ensure that photos of your friends, family, and even your pets always look the same, whether you’re trying out a 60s beehive hairstyle or putting a tutu on your chihuahua.

Simply give Gemini a photo to work with and tell it what you want to change to give it your unique touch. Gemini allows you to combine photos to put yourself in a picture with your pet, change a room’s background to preview new wallpaper, or place yourself anywhere in the world you imagine, all without losing your essence. Once you’re done, you can even re-upload the edited image to Gemini to turn it into a fun video.

Bring your vision to life with advanced editing

Below are a few things you can try as you explore this new image editing capability:

    • Give yourself a change of outfit or location: Upload a photo of a person or pet and Nano Banana will maintain the appearance in each image when placing it in new scenarios. Try on different outfits or professions, or even imagine how you would look in another decade, without losing your identity.
    • Merge photos: You can now upload multiple photos and merge them to create a completely new scene. For example, take your photo and another of your dog to create a perfect portrait of both of you on the basketball court.
    • Try multi-turn editing: You can continue editing the images that Gemini creates: take an empty room, paint the walls, and then add a bookshelf, some furniture, or a coffee table. Gemini is with you at all times to modify specific parts of an image, while keeping the rest.
    • Combine designs: Apply the style of one image to an object in another. You can take the color and texture of flower petals and apply them to rain boots, or design a dress with the pattern of a butterfly’s wings.

You can try this updated image editing feature in the Gemini app starting today. All images created or edited in the Gemini app include a visible watermark, as well as the invisible digital watermark SynthID, to clearly demonstrate they were generated by AI.

In summary, the emergence of Nano Banana in the Gemini ecosystem is not just a software improvement, but a redefinition of the creative workflow. This tool, with its ability to perform complex edits with simple text commands, is a clear example of how Google’s AI is making the generation and retouching of high-value images accessible to everyone.
