Nano Banana, also known as Gemini 2.5 Flash, is being hailed for something that sets it apart from many image tools: character consistency. While lots of AI generators can create stunning pictures, Nano Banana makes it possible to edit an image multiple times—changing hairstyles, clothes, or even the background, while still keeping the subject recognizable. This is especially useful for creators who want to tell a story or keep a look steady across different edits, or even videos.
What makes it even more unique is its versatility. Beyond simple edits, it can handle transformations like turning a 2D photo into 3D, restoring old pictures, or zooming in and out to reveal new perspectives. Other tools may focus on one specialty, but Nano Banana brings a wide range of editing options together in one place, making it practical for everything from product mockups to personal photo experiments. Currently, you can access Nano Banana through multiple platforms including Google AI Studio for full access (with free, watermarked outputs), Google Gemini for lighter use with some limitations, and LM Arena, which offers watermark-free access.
Thanks Tony for keeping us updated on all these new tools. I can’t wait to try this out in Adobe.
You’re very welcome, KatieC. Yes, it’s now in Adobe Express and Adobe Firefly. My new webinar on an in-depth look into Nano Banana is going to be next Wednesday evening, September 10th at 7pm.
