Text-to-image

Nano banana lite is the efficiency-focused model in the image generation family. Sub-2 second latency with cost-effective generation and editing, fast multi-turn local edits, and 14 supported aspect ratios.

Google Nano Banana 2 Lite — Text-to-Image

Nano Banana 2 Lite (Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite Image, gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image) is Google's fastest and most cost-efficient image model in the Nano Banana family. This variant turns a natural-language text prompt into a high-quality image in as little as 4 seconds, making it purpose-built for rapid iteration, high-throughput pipelines, and cost-sensitive workflows — from blank page to finished layout in a single, near-instant step.

It replaces the original Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) with improved visual quality, better world knowledge, stronger character consistency, and more legible in-image text — all while being faster and cheaper.

🌟 Why it stands out

  • Lightning-fast generation — Produces images in roughly 4 seconds, delivering the lowest latency in its class so you can iterate faster than you can rethink the prompt.
  • Reliable prompt adherence — Faithfully interprets subjects, backgrounds, and spatial relationships to build contextually correct compositions.
  • Strong character consistency — Keeps character identities and object fidelity stable across multiple generations, ideal for storyboards and series content.
  • Legible in-image text — Renders readable text and quick localizations directly into generated images for posters, mockups, and social assets.
  • World knowledge — Drafts accurate contextual scenes, rough data visualizations, and location-specific mockups grounded in real-world understanding.
  • Most cost-efficient tier — The budget-friendly member of the Nano Banana family, engineered for high-volume generation at scale.

⚙️ Capabilities

  • Input: text prompt (natural language)
  • Output: high-quality image (JPEG/PNG/WEBP), delivered as a URL (or BASE64 via the API)
  • Resolution: 1k
  • Aspect ratios: auto, 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9, 4:1, 1:4, 8:1, 1:8
  • Thinking level: default, high, or minimal — controls how much internal reasoning the model performs before generating. Higher levels can improve quality on complex prompts at the cost of latency; minimal maximizes speed.
  • Compatible with descriptive prompts such as:
    • "A golden retriever playing in a field of sunflowers at sunset."
    • "A futuristic city skyline with neon reflections on wet streets, cinematic lighting."
    • "A minimalist product poster for a coffee brand with the headline 'Freshly Roasted'."

💰 Pricing

Pricing is a simple flat fee per generated 1k image. There is a single SKU and the total scales linearly with the number of images returned.

SKUDescriptionUnit Price
sku_1k1k image$0.04

Pricing Formula

cost = sku_1k × num_images
  • num_images — number of images generated by the request (default 1).

💡 Best Use Cases

  • Rapid ideation & A/B testing — Fire off many variations and quickly compare directions.
  • Social media & marketing — Generate on-brand visuals and ad variations at speed.
  • Storyboarding & concept art — Build moodboards and sequential frames with consistent characters.
  • Slide decks & web pages — Produce supporting imagery for presentations and landing pages on the fly.
  • High-volume, real-time apps — Power interactive image generation for large user bases and autonomous workflows.

🔒 Content Authenticity

Generated images include C2PA content credentials and an imperceptible SynthID watermark by default, so outputs can be identified as AI-generated.

⚠️ Limitations

Optimized for speed and cost, this model may struggle with small faces, accurate spelling, and very fine details. Data-driven content can occasionally be misinterpreted or factually incorrect, and advanced edits or major lighting transformations are better handled by higher-tier Nano Banana models.

📝 Notes

Please ensure your prompts comply with Google's Safety Guidelines. If an error occurs, review your prompt for restricted content, adjust it, and try again.
