How does Banana AI's chat-based interface work?

Banana AI functions like messaging a designer. You describe your desired image in plain language (e.g., "a product photo of my coffee mug on a marble countertop with morning light"), and the AI generates it. You can then refine the image through conversation, building on previous context (e.g., "make the light warmer" or "switch to dark wood"). This conversational approach eliminates the need for complex prompt engineering.

What are the differences between Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2, and Nano Banana Pro models?

Banana AI offers several models for different needs:

Nano Banana

Optimized for speed and cost, generating 1K images in 2-5 seconds at 5 credits each. Ideal for quick drafts.

Nano Banana 2

Provides pro-quality images at flash speed (4-6 seconds), supporting 1K-4K resolution, costing 7-14 credits.

Nano Banana Pro

Offers maximum precision with a deep reasoning stage, supporting up to 4K resolution (3840x2160), and handling complex text rendering accurately. It costs 10-20 credits. Users can choose the right balance of speed, quality, and cost for their specific tasks.

How much does Banana AI cost?

Is Banana AI suitable for e-commerce product photography?

Absolutely. Nano Banana Pro is particularly strong for e-commerce.
