Nano Banana 2 LiteNano Banana 2 Lite Features
Fast, Low-Cost Image Generation
Nano Banana 2 Lite is tuned for speed and affordability. Each 1K generation costs a single credit, so you can explore many directions, test prompts, and produce social-ready visuals at scale without spending a large credit budget. It is the everyday model for teams that iterate constantly.
| Prompt | Output Image |
|---|---|
A minimalist coffee shop poster with the bold headline 'MORNING RITUAL', a subheading 'Single-origin, slow-brewed', warm cream background, a hand-drawn coffee cup, clean modern sans-serif typography, print-ready layout. |  |
A high-saturation green hillside under a soft overcast sky, a lone figure standing in the distance with their back to the camera, ultra-wide-angle framing, quiet and healing mood, film-like grain. |  |
Legible In-Image Text
Nano Banana 2 Lite keeps the family's signature strength: clean, readable typography inside your images. Headlines, labels, signage, and short captions stay crisp and correctly spelled at 1K, which makes it a dependable choice for posters, thumbnails, and branded social graphics that older lightweight models tend to garble.
| Prompt | Output Image |
|---|---|
A heraldic emblem divided into two halves: a solitary willow tree against a starry night sky on the left, a sunlit pear tree on the right, a Gothic wolf silhouette in the center, and the motto 'STEADFAST' engraved beneath in clean serif lettering. |  |
Reference-Guided Editing and Fusion
Upload up to 10 reference images to guide subject, color, composition, or style. Nano Banana 2 Lite supports image-to-image editing so you can swap backgrounds, adjust lighting, retouch products, or transfer a look while keeping the rest of the composition intact.
| Prompt | Output Image |
|---|---|
A vibrant coral reef underwater, shafts of sunlight penetrating the water, fish swimming through the beams, caustics dancing on the sand, bubbles rising, realistic physics and lighting. |  |
A medium shot of several fluffy characters squeezed together on a worn beige sofa, all facing forward toward a vintage wooden-boxed television, warm window light on the left and the glow of the screen illuminating their textures. |  |
Flexible Aspect Ratios and Formats
On Seedance, Nano Banana 2 Lite generates square, portrait, landscape, and ultra-wide layouts and exports as JPG, PNG, or WEBP. One model covers social posts, ecommerce banners, hero images, and wallpapers without cropping or reflowing.
