## When to choose it

The original Nano Banana suits everyday edits and visual experiments. Upload a photo and explain the change: move a person into another room, give a product a new background or combine several images. For a new picture, start with text alone. This is a separate version from Nano Banana 2 and Pro, which have different controls.

- Combine several photos in one request, assigning each a different role.

- Simple edits do not require a mask or pixel-by-pixel instructions.

## Modes and settings

- Text or photos, with up to 10 input images.

- 11 aspect-ratio options including Auto; roughly 1K output without a separate 2K or 4K setting. Request 1, 2 or 4 results.

## Price in coins

| Input | Coins / generation
| Photo editing | 5
| Text | 5

Coins are Mixer AI balance units. The table shows a base request without extra variations. Multiple results and new attempts can increase the total; check it before submitting.

## What you can make

- Place a portrait in a new setting while retaining clothes and expression.

- Prepare product-photo variations for a post or listing.

## How to direct the result

- Start with the action: replace, add, remove or relocate. Then say what must stay.

- Avoid changing face, pose, clothes and background together when identity matters.

### Example: relocate a portrait

```text
Replace the portrait's background with a bright workshop and a large window on the left. Keep the person, expression, hairstyle, clothes and hand positions. Adjust only lighting and shadows to fit the room. No new accessories, lettering or noticeable facial blur.
```

## What to keep in mind

- Even a short instruction cannot guarantee preservation of a face or fine detail.

- This version does not offer a separate 4K output setting.

## FAQ

Must I cut out the person first?

Not necessarily. Upload the original and describe the new background. Check hair, clothing edges and shadows afterwards.

Can I combine several photos?

Yes, up to ten. Identify which file supplies the person, object and setting.

Is this Nano Banana 2?

No. This page describes the original Nano Banana; version 2 has different resolution options and input limits.

Where is the 4K option?

The original Nano Banana does not offer it. For larger output, choose a version with explicit resolution controls.

Can I create without a photo?

Yes. Describe subject, composition, light and style; without an input photo, it creates a new scene.

Why did the clothes change with the background?

Narrow the task and explicitly list what must stay. Retry from the original, not the already altered image.

What changes the price?

It depends on version, quality and mode. The table prices one generation at the listed settings. Additional results, new attempts and chargeable input materials can increase the total.

Do I need a separate model subscription?

No. In Mixer AI, you top up one coin balance and use it for the tasks you need. You do not need a separate subscription to this model.
