What is Nano Banana 2 Lite?

Nano Banana 2 Lite is Google's speed-first image model — officially gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image, released June 30, 2026 as the successor to the original Nano Banana. It keeps the family's prompt understanding and clean 1K output while cutting latency to seconds and API price to roughly half of Nano Banana 2 ($0.034 per image). The generator on this page runs the real model, so you can try it without touching an API.

The cheapest Nano Banana yet

At 4 credits per image, Lite is the lowest-cost model in the entire Nano Banana family on this site — and on Google's own API it even undercuts the original Nano Banana ($0.034 vs $0.039). Batch out stickers, drafts and everyday graphics without watching your balance.

Edit any image with a sentence

Lite supports image-to-image: upload a photo, describe the change, done. This breakfast scene is a real Lite edit — we generated a plain studio banana, then asked it to “place the banana on a wooden breakfast table next to a cup of coffee”. Same banana, new world.
