| Plan | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Image Generation (1K Resolution) | $0.0336 / image | Supports 1024px image generation, suitable for cost-effective AI image creation. Batch processing is available at a lower price (approximately $0.0168 / image). |
| API Text & Image Input/Output | Input $0.25 / Output $1.50 per 1M Tokens | Supports text and image inputs. Text output is priced at $1.50 per million Tokens, suitable for API integration and developer applications. |
①Positioning: Google's fastest and most cost-efficient image generation model in the Nano Banana 2 series, built for high-concurrency development pipelines and rapid visual iteration.
②Speed & Cost: Generates a 1K image in approximately 4 seconds at a cost of about $0.034 per image, delivering roughly 1.8x faster speed and significantly lower cost compared to the standard version.
③Character Consistency: Maintains visual coherence of characters or objects across multiple generations, suitable for storyboarding, virtual try-ons, and other sequential visual tasks.
④Precise Editing: Supports natural language instructions for local modifications, canvas expansion, and style adjustments with simple operations.
⑤In-Image Text Rendering: Generates images with clear and readable text (such as brand slogans and product names), ideal for rapid ad asset production.
⑥Multi-Image Composition: Combines multiple images into a single composite frame for posters, comparison charts, and other complex visual needs.
⑦Unified API: A single API handles three core tasks — text-to-image, image editing, and multi-image composition — eliminating the need to switch between multiple endpoints.
⑧Multimodal Output: Returns relevant text descriptions or analysis alongside generated images to support decision-making.
⑨AI Watermarking: All output images are embedded with an invisible SynthID digital watermark for AI-generated content identification and compliance assurance.
⑩ Specification Support: Outputs at 1K resolution across 14 aspect ratios, compatible with mobile, web, poster, and other display formats.
⑪Ecosystem Integration: Seamlessly works with the video generation model Gemini Omni Flash, enabling an efficient pipeline from static images to dynamic video content.
⑫Use Cases: Prototyping, batch asset production, real-time interactive applications, video pre-production keyframe generation, and other large-scale visual workflows.
⑬Limitations: Positioned as a lightweight, high-speed, low-cost tool ideal for high-throughput prototyping. Performance on extremely small text, complex data charts, and fine details (such as hair and textures) is slightly inferior to the standard or Pro versions. For final refinement, upgrading to a more capable model is recommended.
①Developers & Technical Integrators: The core target audience, consisting of software engineers and developers who need to rapidly integrate image generation capabilities into applications or services, supporting real-time apps, chatbots, or internal tools with dynamic imagery.
②Marketing & Advertising Teams: Used for quickly generating ad creatives and multiple versions of marketing assets, enabling large-scale A/B testing to identify optimal solutions and improve campaign performance.
③E-commerce Operations: Producing display images and scene visuals for large volumes of products in batches, with the ability to integrate with video models to generate product short videos, significantly reducing content production cycles.
④Scaled Content Creators: Requiring high-frequency image output for social media, blogs, and other content platforms, where speed and quantity take priority over per-image refinement.
⑤Product & UI/UX Designers: Rapidly visualizing ideas for internal reviews, concept validation, and interactive prototyping, lowering trial costs and accelerating iteration cycles.
⑥Game & Film Pre-Production Teams: Efficiently generating large volumes of concept sketches for environments, characters, or props, streamlining creative screening and early-stage visual development.
⑦Enterprises Pursuing Automated Workflows: Suitable for integration into programmatic advertising platforms, digital commerce systems, and other enterprise scenarios requiring automated, large-scale visual content production as a high-efficiency workflow component.
⑧Core Summary: Nano Banana 2 Lite is designed for scenarios that demand high-volume, fast, and cost-effective generation of "good enough" imagery, primarily serving commercial and technical teams focused on efficiency and scale, rather than artists pursuing ultimate visual quality.
