Google has introduced Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, also called ‘Nano Banana,’ in the Gemini app. Developed by Google DeepMind, the model enhances AI-powered photo editing with improved likeness preservation.
The new feature focuses on keeping people and pets consistent when changing backgrounds, outfits, or time periods. This tool is meant to help users avoid unrealistic or noticeable distorted edits.
Here’s a sample photo from Google’s article about their state of the art image model below.
Gemini 2.5 also adds multi-step editing, allowing users to apply changes one at a time. A style transfer option is included, letting users add patterns or textures from one photo to another.
All AI-edited images will include a visible watermark and an invisible SynthID tag for authentication. Interested users may check it out now as the update is now available via the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI for enterprise.
Readers should note that Gemini 2.5 Flash Image is priced at USD 30 per 1 million output tokens. Each image is worth 1,290 output tokens or USD 0.039 per image. Other modalities on input and output follow the Gemini 2.5 Flash pricing.
