Frequently asked questions

AI image generation is available in all languages and countries where the Gemini app is available.

  • To access Nano Banana, select "🍌Create images" from the tools menu. Then add a prompt or upload an image to edit.

  • Google AI Pro, Plus, Ultra users have access to our best image model, Nano Banana 2.1, and can regenerate images using Nano Banana Pro by selecting the three dot menu and then “Redo with Pro”.

  1. Start with a simple formula. Try <Create/generate an image of>  <subject> <action> <scene> and then build from there. For example, "Create an image of a cat napping in a sunbeam on a windowsill."

  2. Be specific with as much detail as you can dream. Prompts should include as many specifics as you can think of, so instead of saying, "Create an image of a woman in a red dress," try "Create an image of a young woman in a red dress running through a park." The more details you provide, the better Gemini is at following your instructions.

  3. Take composition, style, and image quality into consideration. Think about how you want the elements in your image to be arranged (composition), the visual style you want to achieve (style), the desired level of image quality (image quality), and the aspect ratio (size). Try something like, “Generate an image of a blurry poky porcupine flying in space in the style of an oil painting with 2:3 aspect ratio.”

  4. Creativity is your friend. Gemini is great at creating surreal objects and unique scenes. Let your imagination run wild.

  5. If you don’t like what you see, just ask Gemini to change it. With our image editing model you can take control of your images by telling Gemini to change the background, replace an object, or add an element – all while preserving the details you love.

Consistent with our AI Principles, this AI image generator was designed with responsibility in mind. And to ensure there’s a clear distinction between visuals created with Gemini and original human artwork, Gemini uses an invisible SynthID watermark, as well as a visible watermark to show they are AI-generated.

Gemini's outputs are primarily determined by user prompts and like any generative AI tool, there may be instances where it generates content that some individuals find objectionable. We’ll continue to listen to your feedback through the thumbs up/down buttons and make ongoing improvements. For more details, you can read about our approach on our website.

Simply upload an image to the Gemini app and ask if it was generated by Google AI. This verification is powered by SynthID, our digital watermarking technology. It is currently available for images, audio, and video support.

You can find out more about how we’re increasing transparency in AI content with SynthID in our blog post.
