What is Gemini Nano Banana 2.1?

Gemini Nano Banana 2.1 is Google's image-generation and conversational-editing model released. It accepts text, images, video and PDFs and returns images and text.

Working with reference material

Use it when a visual job includes supplied assets: adapting a product image, revising an illustration or creating a layout from a brief. The documented API supports up to 14 reference images and 1K, 2K and 4K output resolutions. Inspect faces, lettering and small objects at the delivered size before accepting an output.

Choosing the right interface

This is an image workflow, with optional thinking and search grounding. Function calling, structured outputs, caching and Live API are not supported. A generic text-agent wrapper can send incompatible options; keep the image request separate from any surrounding tool orchestration.

Evaluate a complete edit

Test a sequence of revisions rather than one attractive sample. Check whether requested changes preserve the parts of the image that should stay consistent, and whether a later edit introduces an unwanted detail. Keep the original references and prompts with the result so another person can reproduce the review.

Compare it with Google's other image models. For budgeting, use the current image-generation pricing and selected resolution rather than a text-output token rate.
