Google: Nano Banana 2 Lite (Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite Image)
ActiveGoogle: Nano Banana 2 Lite (Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite Image) is Google's fastest and most cost-effective Gemini image model, built for high-frequency development pipelines and rapid visual exploration. It can complete text-to-image generation in about 5 seconds, which is about 2.7 times faster than Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, while maintaining the character consistency, precise editing capabilities and real-world knowledge of the Nano Banana series. A single embedded API handles text-to-image, image editing, and multi-image composition. As a multi-modal model, it can also generate text while returning images. Output resolution is 1K, supports 14 aspect ratios, and comes with an invisible SynthID watermark for easy identification as AI-generated. The best balance of quality and speed in the Nano Banana 2 series, it generates thousands of images at a fraction of the cost of heavyweight production models, making it ideal for prototyping, real-time applications and large-scale visual workflows.
