How to turn your photos into fun scenes with Google Gemini’s Nano Banana AI edit

Photoshop now has a new competitor as Google DeepMind launched a new image editing tool in the Gemini app called Nano-Banana or Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. According to Google, this innovative editing model is designed to be more advanced and fun.

It gives users greater creative freedom, allowing them to modify their photos while preserving the original appearance.

As reports from OpenHunts suggest, Nano Banana is available to both free and paid users via the Gemini app.


Free users can create up to 100 edits daily, while paid users can enjoy up to 1,000. Developers can leverage scalable integration through the Gemini API, AI Studio, and Vertex AI.

What can you do with Nano-Banana in Gemini

Nano Banana in Gemini is Google DeepMind’s latest image editing model integrated into the Gemini app. You can use this to edit photos with unprecedented control while preserving the likeness of people, pets, or objects across edits. Key features include:

• Maintain Appearance: Ensures a person, pet, or object looks consistent across different edits, even with dramatic changes like new outfits, hairstyles, or settings.
• Photo Blending: Users can combine multiple images to create new scenes, such as placing themselves and their pets in a shared environment.
• Multi-turn Editing: Let users make sequential edits, like changing a room’s wall color, then adding furniture, while keeping the rest of the image intact.
• Design Mixing: Applies textures or patterns from one image to objects in another, e.g., using flower petals’ colors on clothing.

Both free and paid users can try it. All edited images carry visible and digital watermarks to indicate AI generation.

How to use Nano-Banana

Using this tool is pretty simple in Gemini:

• Open the Gemini app (available on web and mobile)

• You first need to upload a photo and describe the changes you want.

• Then, the app can swap backgrounds and combine multiple images.

• The feature can even create playful scenes, such as putting you and your pet together in a new setting.

For users who love experimenting with their photos, the app will support turning still images into short videos as soon as the editing is complete.
