Quick answer
Nano Banana is the popular nickname for Google’s Gemini image generation and editing model. Its signature strength is instruction-based editing: give it a photo and a plain-language request — "put this person in a 1990s film still" — and it makes the change while preserving identity and scene detail remarkably well. It is available in VdoBloom’s image tools and powers many of the template gallery prompts.
The name started as a codename on a model-testing leaderboard and stuck after the model went viral for its photo-editing ability, particularly how faithfully it keeps faces and likenesses through dramatic edits.
Nano Banana is the model of choice when the starting point is a photo you care about: restyling, costume changes, scene transplants, and figurine-style transformations all preserve the subject.
VdoBloom offers Nano Banana alongside Flux and Seedream, and its template gallery is full of community prompts written specifically for it.
VdoBloom starts you with 10 free credits — enough to put this into practice with no card required.
