What you can do on Nano2Image
Nano Banana supports two main workflows, each with specific use cases:
Text-to-Image Generation
Describe what you want to create, and Nano Banana generates it from scratch. Best for:
- Creating concept art and illustrations
- Generating product mockups before production
- Designing social media visuals and marketing assets
- Creating unique avatars and profile pictures
Example: "A professional product photo of a stainless steel water bottle on pure white background, studio lighting, e-commerce ready"
Image Editing (Image-to-Image)
Upload an existing photo and describe the changes you want. The AI modifies the image while preserving what you want to keep. Best for:
- Replacing or removing backgrounds
- Enhancing lighting and color in photos
- Creating stylized variations (3D figurine, cinematic, etc.)
- Restoring and enhancing old or low-quality photos
Background removed and replaced with pure white for e-commerce ready product photo
