Block the First Frame From a Brief
Start with only the scene, lighting, camera, and mood notes your team already has. The model converts that direction into a reviewable image. It works well for testing the visual premise of a campaign before investing in a more expensive final render.
| Prompt | Generated Image |
|---|---|
A cinematic, wide-angle shot of a vintage orange sedan parked on a dark, asphalt road at night. The scene is enveloped in a thick, teal-tinted fog that creates a moody, ethereal atmosphere. The car's headlights are turned on, casting powerful beams of warm light through the mist. To the left, the silhouettes of towering palm trees and a suburban house loom in the background, while a solitary streetlamp glows on the right, further illuminating the hazy green air. |  |
Restage an Idea in a New Treatment
Reference-led work can shift the finish while preserving the core subject of the shot. Use it for style exploration, quick pitch boards, or alternate art directions. The short turnaround makes side-by-side reviews practical.
| Prompt | Generated Image |
|---|---|
An Impressionist-style oil painting of a wolf howling in an abandoned factory. |  |
Prepare Informational Artwork Quickly
The model can also assemble diagram-like visuals when the brief explains the subject and hierarchy. That makes it useful for early educational graphics and content mockups. Review every factual label before publishing any generated information.
| Prompt | Generated Image |
|---|---|
A craft-style diagram of the water cycle featuring evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. |  |

Nano Banana 2 Lite FAQ
Answers about inputs, cost, timing, and practical use in the Shotyard workspace.
What is Nano Banana 2 Lite?
It is a Google image model for prompt-based generation and reference-guided editing. The Lite edition emphasizes quick output and a simple four-credit price.
Can I use Nano Banana 2 Lite for free?
Yes. New users receive 10 credits, and Nano Banana 2 Lite costs 4 credits per image, so you can create test images with signup credits.
How many reference images can I upload?
You can add up to 10 reference files. Each file may be as large as 30MB and must be JPEG, PNG, or WebP.
Which aspect ratios are available?
The workspace offers Auto plus 14 fixed ratios, including social, portrait, landscape, panoramic, and extra-tall formats. The exact list appears in the specifications above.
How fast is a generation?
The configured typical time is about 15 seconds. Queue traffic and provider conditions can make an individual job finish sooner or later.
Does Nano Banana 2 Lite offer resolution controls?
No separate resolution selector is exposed for this model. Choose Nano Banana 2 or Nano Banana Pro if the job requires selectable 1K, 2K, or 4K tiers.
How should I write a useful image prompt?
Identify the subject, location, camera distance, composition, lighting, material cues, and desired finish. Put non-negotiable details early.
Do multiple images cost more credits?
Yes. The four-credit price applies to one generated image. Every additional output is another billable generation, so total credit use rises with output count.
