Nano Banana — image + video generation capabilities in Google Gemini Flash (2.5)
See Google Gemini Flash and creator demos
Summary
Nano Banana is part of Google’s Gemini Flash suite (2.5) and provides very fast image generation with experimental video capabilities. Video access is available via the Gemini Flash tools and Google Flow, but practical use is currently limited by daily generation quotas on free tiers.
Features
- Extremely fast image generation (1-2s per image in demos)
- Experimental video generation via Gemini Flash tools / Google Flow (frame-to-video workflows)
- Supports multi-aspect ratios and V2/V3 model variants depending on the flow
- Strong character consistency and style transfer for images (reported ~95% consistency in demos)
- API pricing per image (example: $0.039 per image) — video pricing not widely published
Superpowers
Nano Banana is ideal for creators who want very fast image outputs and experimental video workflows integrated into the Gemini Flash ecosystem. It’s useful for prototyping visual concepts quickly and for workflows that require tight integration with Google Flow or Gemini tools.
Pricing
- Image API pricing reported in demos; check Google Cloud / Gemini API docs for current video pricing and quotas.
Known limitations & safety
- Video generation subject to daily quotas (e.g., 3 daily generations on free tier demos)
- Higher-volume access requires paid plans or enterprise access via Google Flow/Vertex AI
- Expect image/video content moderation and provenance controls
