Restage Product and Lifestyle Concepts
Open Nano Banana from the Create workspace when you need reference-guided image generation for a larger shoot or design workflow. Keep prompts, references, and outputs in one place.
Create Fast Character and Style Variations
A reference can establish the subject while the instruction changes pose, wardrobe, atmosphere, or art treatment. Generate a single anchor frame first, then reuse the same descriptors for later versions. Review facial details and repeated design elements between outputs.
Build Scene Alternatives for Review
Swap a background, add a prop, or redirect the mood without opening a layered editing file. Clear instructions about what must not change make the result easier to approve. The model is best treated as a fast new version, not a pixel-locked retouch tool.
Formats for Ads, Social, and Product Pages
Select the canvas before generation to target square, portrait, landscape, or wide campaign placements. Re-rendering for a different ratio can change the composition, so inspect every crop as its own deliverable. The model does not expose a separate resolution selector.

Nano Banana FAQ
Cost, inputs, framing, and review guidance for Nano Banana on Shotyard.
What is Nano Banana?
Nano Banana is a Google AI model that creates images from prompts and edits images with written instructions. It is the lowest-cost Nano Banana option currently offered in Shotyard.
Can I try Nano Banana for free?
Yes. Nano Banana costs 4 credits per image, and new accounts receive 10 credits, so signup credits can cover initial tests.
Does requesting multiple outputs change the price?
Yes. Three credits buys one generated image. Every additional output is another generation, so the total cost is three credits multiplied by the number of images.
How many images can I use as references?
You can upload as many as nine JPEG, PNG, or WebP files. Each image can be up to 15MB.
Can Nano Banana edit an existing image?
Yes. Add one or more source images and spell out what should stay fixed and what should change. Review small brand and product details before use.
Does the model let me choose resolution?
No separate resolution control is exposed. Use Nano Banana 2 or Nano Banana Pro when the handoff requires selectable 1K, 2K, or 4K output.
How long does generation normally version?
The configured estimate is about 30 seconds. Provider traffic and job complexity can affect actual turnaround.
What makes a good edit instruction?
Identify the fixed subject first, then describe one concrete change, its location, and the intended lighting or finish. Avoid mixing conflicting directions in the same sentence.
