Google has rolled out a new image editing tool to the
Gemini
app, called nano banana. Built by
Google DeepMind
, the model has already been rated the world’s top image editing tool in early previews. It is already available for all Gemini users. In a blog post, Google said that the new model is designed to make sure people, pets and objects look consistent across edits. Google said many users were unhappy when edited images looked “close but not quite the same,” especially with faces. The update fixes that, whether it’s trying a retro hairstyle or putting a costume on a pet.
How nano banana works in Gemini
Users can upload a photo, describe what they want to change, and Gemini will create the new version while keeping the person’s original look intact. Edits can include:
- Costume and background changes: Place yourself in new outfits, jobs or even time periods.
- Photo blending: Merge multiple photos, like putting yourself and your pet in the same frame.
- Step-by-step edits: Add or remove objects in stages, such as redesigning a room with new colors and furniture.
- Design mixing: Apply textures and styles from one image to another, such as turning flower patterns into clothing designs.
The blog post further states that all images created or edited in Gemini will carry a visible watermark and Google’s invisible SynthID digital watermark to show they are AI-generated. As mentioned above, the new nano banana image editing feature is available starting today in the Gemini app.
