What is Nano Banana 2.5?

Last reviewed September 20, 2026 · By Banana Pro AI

Nano Banana 2.5 is Google’s next-generation Nano Banana image model for generating and editing pictures. It follows the instruction you give it more closely: replace text, change clothing, swap an object or refine a single region, while the composition, identity and lighting around that change stay in place.

On Banana Pro AI, Nano Banana 2.5 runs in the browser. Start from a prompt for a brand-new image, or upload a reference photo and describe a focused edit. Choose an aspect ratio and 1K, 2K or 4K output, check the credit cost, and keep the result or refine it in the same workspace.

Text to image

Describe the subject, framing, materials and light, then generate a finished image without uploading anything.

Reference-based editing

Upload a product photo, poster or portrait and change only what you name. Everything you leave out stays as it is.

1K, 2K and 4K output

Pick the aspect ratio and resolution for the channel you are building, from social crops to large posters.

Why choose Nano Banana 2.5?

Nano Banana 2.5 is built for edits you can review and repeat. These are the six things it does best.

More precise local editing

Edit exactly what you describe and leave the rest of the picture alone. Replace text, clothing, objects or a single region while the composition around it survives.

More stable iterative editing

Build on the previous result. Each round preserves the parts you already approved instead of quietly re-inventing the subject, the layout or the lighting.

Faster generation

Lower latency per render means more concepts, more revisions and a shorter feedback loop with whoever signs off on the visual.

More realistic light and detail

Natural shadows, balanced highlights and believable materials for portraits, products and cinematic compositions.

Built for production workflows

Move from concept to marketing, product and commercial assets with output that stays predictable across a whole set.

Text that survives an edit

Headlines, labels and short copy keep their wording, hierarchy and alignment when you change something else in the frame.

Nano Banana 2.5 prompts and examples

Three briefs you can copy into the workspace above: a product scene, a text edit on a finished poster, and a character change that keeps the same face.

Example 01

Swap a background and keep the product label

Upload a product photo and describe the new scene in plain language. State that the bottle shape, label wording and colours must stay identical, and only the background should change. Compare the result with your source at full size; if a detail drifts, name it exactly and generate again.

Place this amber bottle on warm limestone with soft afternoon light. Keep the bottle shape, label text and colours exactly the same. Change only the background.

Example 02

Edit one line of text on a finished poster

Give the exact replacement words in quotation marks and name the area that may change. Ask the model to keep the layout, typeface, colours and every other element untouched. Check the spelling and the fixed elements at full size before you publish.

Change only the headline on this poster to “FRESH ROAST DAILY”. Keep the layout, typeface, colours and all other text unchanged.

Example 03

Change an outfit and keep the same character

Start from one portrait, then describe the new clothing and the setting for each frame. Name the face, hair and pose you want to preserve so a small series stays recognisable. Reuse the previous result as the next reference to keep the character consistent.

Keep the same person, face, hair and pose. Change the outfit to a dark utility jacket and place the character in a softly lit studio. Same camera angle.

How to create images with Nano Banana 2.5

Four steps from an idea to a finished image, whether you are starting from text or from a photo you already own.

  1. 1. Describe the goal

    Write the subject, framing, material and light. For an edit, state what must stay unchanged and put any exact text in quotation marks.

  2. 2. Add a reference or go text-only

    Upload one or more images to edit, or leave the upload area empty for text-to-image. With a reference attached, the workspace switches to reference-based editing.

  3. 3. Set the size and check credits

    Choose an aspect ratio and 1K, 2K or 4K. The workspace shows the fixed credit cost for that run before you submit.

  4. 4. Generate, then refine

    Download the result, or send it back in as the next reference to refine it. A submitted task is saved, so a refresh does not lose it.

Nano Banana 2.5 vs Nano Banana 2

Both models generate and edit images in the same workspace. Nano Banana 2.5 is the newer generation, and the difference shows up most clearly in editing work.

Nano Banana 2.5 FAQ

What is Nano Banana 2.5?

Nano Banana 2.5 is Google’s next-generation Nano Banana image model for creating and editing pictures. It is built around precise local edits, stable refinement across several rounds, realistic lighting and production-ready output, and you can run it in the workspace on this page.

What is new compared with Nano Banana 2?

More control around a local edit, more stability when you refine the same image repeatedly, faster renders per revision, and more believable shadows, highlights and materials.

Can Nano Banana 2.5 replace text in an image?

Yes. Put the replacement wording in quotation marks and name the area that may change. The model aims to keep the layout, typeface, colours and surrounding elements in place, so always check the spelling at full size before you publish.

Is Nano Banana 2.5 good for product images?

It is built for them. Restage a product photo with a new background, surface or lighting while the shape, label and packaging stay consistent, then reuse the result as the reference for the next channel.

What output sizes can I choose?

Choose an aspect ratio and 1K, 2K or 4K resolution. Those are the controls this workspace exposes for generation and reference-based editing.

How is Nano Banana 2.5 different from the first Nano Banana or Gemini 2.5 Flash Image?

The first Nano Banana is Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, an earlier Google image model that happens to carry a 2.5 in its version number. Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana 2.5 are later generations of the Nano Banana line.

How many credits does an image cost?

20 credits at 1K, 35 at 2K and 50 at 4K. The workspace shows the fixed quote for your chosen resolution before you submit, and failed tasks are refunded through the task system.
