Available for use via the Gemini app, Nano Banana provides “realistic and consistent” output that has been praised for preserving facial features, pets, and even allowing users to make complex edits such as changing backgrounds, blending multiple photos, or adjusting clothing, all while keeping the subject recognisable.
