What is Gemini 2.5 Flash Image？
Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (codename nano banana) is an advanced image generation and editing model launched by Google AI Studio. The model can maintain character consistency across different scenes, supports precise image editing through natural language instructions (e.g., blurring backgrounds, removing stains), and leverages Gemini’s world knowledge to interpret hand-drawn diagrams and execute complex commands. It also enables seamless fusion of multiple images. Users can access it via the Gemini App, Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI. The Gemini API is priced at $30 per million output tokens, with the cost of generating one image estimated at around $0.039. All generated images are embedded with invisible digital watermarks to identify AI-created content.
