FAQ

Common questions

What is Nano Banana?

Nano Banana is the name of Google's native Gemini image models: Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image), Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image), Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) and, since October 6, 2026, Nano Banana 2.1. Platforms such as fal resell access, but the model is Google's.

Is Nano Banana free to use?

New LazyKiwi accounts get free credits, and the credit cost of each image is shown on the Generate button before you confirm.

How does Nano Banana compare to Stable Diffusion or GPT Image?

Nano Banana is Google's native Gemini image model and is strongest at following long, detailed prompts and at editing an existing photo from a plain-language instruction. Stable Diffusion models are open weights you can run and fine-tune yourself; GPT Image is OpenAI's model. In LazyKiwi's image generator you can run the same prompt through Nano Banana, GPT Image 2.5, Seedream 5.0 and Qwen Image and compare.

What image sizes and formats does Nano Banana support?

Pick Nano Banana in LazyKiwi's image generator to see the aspect ratios and sizes it offers for that request; the credit cost updates on the Generate button before you confirm. Google's newer Nano Banana 2.1 adds 4K output and up to 14 reference images through the Gemini API.

Do I need an API key?

No. In LazyKiwi you pick Nano Banana in the image generator and type a prompt. Developers who want the API can call Google's Gemini API directly.
