Google’s AI company, Google DeepMind, has just unveiled Nano Banana, its latest image editing model, now live inside the Gemini app.

Nano Banana is designed to give everyday users Photoshop-level power with far less effort. It is now clearly the leading image editing AI model in the world!

The standout feature? Consistency. Whether you’re giving yourself a retro beehive haircut, dressing your dog in a tutu, or previewing new wallpaper in your room, Nano Banana keeps people (and pets) looking recognizably like themselves across edits.

But it’s not like this consistency is maintained forever - the more funky you get with your edit requests, the easier it is to lose consistency.

Here’s what you can do with it today:

• Outfit & location swaps - Try on costumes, professions, or decades while still looking like you.

• Photo blending - Combine images of you and your pet into a single scene.

• Multi-turn editing - Iteratively tweak rooms, objects, or outfits step by step.

• Style mixing - Transfer patterns or textures (like butterfly wings onto a dress).

All edits are watermarked - both visibly and invisibly with Google’s SynthID. This makes all images generated by Gemini identifiable.

Nano Banana is available to all Gemini users.

I tried it and shared the results on X. What are you generating with Nano Banana?

Top Publishers Hand-Selecting Amazon Brands to Promote this Holiday Season
