Gemini AI Photo Editor
Upload a photo, describe the change, and Google's Gemini 3 Pro image model re-renders it. When it gets your instruction wrong, GPT Image 2 is one dropdown away in the same panel. From 3 credits per edit.
Two editors, one upload
Every other page that ranks for this term gives you one engine and tells you it is the best. This one gives you four — three Google Gemini editors and OpenAI's GPT Image 2 — behind the same upload box, because they fail at different things and you usually find out which after you have already spent the credits. Gemini 3 Pro is the default: 10 credits an edit, up to 14 reference images.
Gemini or GPT Image 2 for this edit?
Both engines are in the dropdown above. Here is the honest split, from running the same instructions through both.
Gemini 3 Pro
Holds faces, hands, and existing signage together better than anything else in the list, and it takes up to 14 reference images so you can hand it a subject, a style plate, and a background in one go. It also reads long instructions literally — if you tell it what to leave alone, it leaves it alone.
Reach for it when the photo has a person, readable text, or something that has to survive untouched.
GPT Image 2
Interprets loose, under-specified prompts more generously, and its quality and resolution controls let you spend anywhere from 2 to 108 credits on the same edit. Where Gemini asks for precision, GPT Image 2 fills gaps for you — sometimes helpfully, sometimes not.
Reach for it when your instruction is vague on purpose, or when Gemini keeps reading it the wrong way.
The face stays the same face
Change the outfit, the backdrop, or the time of day and the person still reads as the same person. That is what makes multi-step editing viable — you can run three instructions in sequence without the subject drifting into a stranger by the third. It is the single biggest reason to pick Gemini 3 Pro over a cheaper editor for anything with a human in it.
Up to 14 reference images at once
Most editors take one source image. Gemini 3 Pro takes 14, so a single edit can carry the subject from one photo, the lighting from another, and the set from a third — instead of chaining edits and losing a little fidelity at every step. Drag them all into the upload box above.
Text inside the picture stays readable
Signage, packaging labels, and menu boards are where most image models dissolve into gibberish letterforms. Gemini 3 Pro is noticeably steadier, which matters whenever there are already words in the frame — a storefront, a product box, a poster mockup. Long paragraphs and dense small print are still the failure zone.
How to edit a photo with Gemini
Upload the photo
Drop in your source image — JPG, PNG, or WebP. Gemini 3 Pro accepts up to 14 at once if the edit needs a subject plus references.
Describe the change
Write it as an instruction, not a tag list. "Replace the grey sky with overcast dusk, keep the building lighting" beats "dusk, moody, cinematic". Name what should stay as well as what should change.
Switch engines if it misses
If the result ignores half your instruction, change the model in the dropdown and run the same prompt again. Same upload, same prompt, different reading — that comparison is the whole point of this page.
The four editors in the dropdown
Not a vendor benchmark — these are the engines this page actually serves, with the numbers this site actually charges.
| Comparison | Nano Banana Pro | Nano Banana 2 | Nano Banana Edit | GPT Image 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | Gemini 3 Pro Image | Gemini 3.1 Flash Image | Gemini 2.5 Flash Image | GPT Image 2 |
| Built by | OpenAI | |||
| Best for | Faces, readable text, multi-reference composites | Most everyday edits, a little cheaper than Pro | Small retouches, and the cheapest way to try the site | Loose prompts, and a second reading when Gemini misses |
| Reference images | 14 | 14 | 5 | 5 |
| Aspect ratios | 10 | 10 | 10 | 16 |
| Cost per edit | 10 credits | 8 credits | 3 credits | 8 credits |
Engine names, reference limits, and credit costs are read from this site's own configuration. GPT Image 2 bills per quality and resolution — 8 credits is its default medium/1K tier, and it ranges from 2 to 108.
What people edit here
Four jobs that come up constantly, each one a single instruction rather than an afternoon in Photoshop.
Product shots
Put the same object on a marble counter, a linen backdrop, and a café table without re-shooting it. The product keeps its shape and label; the light rebuilds around it.
Portraits
Swap the background, change the wardrobe, or rescue the lighting from a photo shot in a bad room — while the face stays recognisably the same person.
Signs and packaging
Put new lettering on a blank sign or a plain box and keep it legible, instead of the smeared pseudo-text most editors produce.
Vertical crops
Rebuild a wide photo as a 9:16 frame with the subject re-centred and the missing edges filled in, rather than cropping half the picture away.

OpenQuestions
It is an instruction-based image editor: you upload a photo, describe the change in a sentence, and Google's Gemini 3 Pro image model re-renders the picture with that change applied. There are no brushes, masks, or layers — the prompt is the only control.
No. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google. What is genuine is the engine: the editor calls Google's Gemini 3 Pro image model through our API provider, so the output comes from Google's model rather than a look-alike.
By default gemini-3-pro-image, the model Google also markets as Nano Banana Pro. The dropdown also holds Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, a cheaper Gemini edit model, and OpenAI's GPT Image 2 — the same upload and prompt can be run through any of them.
Partly. Signing in with Google grants 8 bonus credits, which is enough for 2 edits on the cheapest Gemini editor at 3 credits each. It is not enough for a Gemini 3 Pro edit, which costs 10 — so if you want to try Pro specifically, you will need credits beyond the sign-up bonus.
Gemini 3 Pro is 10 credits per edit, or 18 at 4K. The cheaper Gemini editors run 3 and 8. GPT Image 2 varies with the quality and resolution you pick, from 2 credits up to 108.
Gemini 3 Pro if the photo contains a face, readable text, or anything that must survive the edit untouched, and when you want a long instruction followed literally. GPT Image 2 when your prompt is deliberately loose, or when Gemini keeps misreading it. Both are in the same dropdown, so testing costs one extra run rather than a second subscription.
Usually not — this is Gemini 3 Pro's strongest editing trait. Faces hold across background swaps, wardrobe changes, and relighting. It is not a guarantee: the more you change in one instruction, the more drift you should expect, so run big transformations as several small edits.
Better than most image models. Gemini 3 Pro keeps existing lettering legible and can write short new text into a scene. Long paragraphs and dense small print are still where it breaks down, so proofread any text-heavy result before publishing it.
Up to 14 with Gemini 3 Pro — enough to give it a subject, a style reference, and a background in a single edit. The cheaper editors and GPT Image 2 take 5. Multi-select, drag and drop, or paste into the upload box.
10 with the Gemini editors: Auto, 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16, 16:9, 1:2, and 2:1. Auto keeps the source photo's shape; any other choice makes the model recompose the scene rather than crop it. GPT Image 2 exposes 16.
Yes, with Gemini 3 Pro — the 4K tier costs 18 credits instead of 10. The cheaper Gemini editors top out below that, so pick Pro when you need the print-size file rather than a web image.
Yes, subject to our terms and to Google's usage policies for the underlying model. You are responsible for the rights to whatever you upload — do not edit photos you do not have permission to use, and take care with recognisable people and third-party brands.
