What's New

Nano Banana 2.1

Nano Banana 2.1 is now available in Batch Banana and replaces Nano Banana 2 as the default model. It is Google's newest Flash image model: sharper images, closer prompt adherence, cleaner text and steadier characters across edits.

It costs less too. A 1K image is 10 credits, down from 16. 2K is 15 and 4K is 23, down from 24 and 40. Generate from a prompt alone or with up to 14 reference images, at 1K, 2K or 4K, in any of 10 aspect ratios.

Anything set to Nano Banana 2 now runs on Nano Banana 2.1: your saved model choice, Agent chats, batches and API calls. Images you already made keep their Nano Banana 2 label.

In Batch Banana, Nano Banana 2.1 is selected when you create an image. Ask Agent to use it in a chat, or connect Claude or another AI assistant to the Batch Banana MCP server and generate from there.

Flux 3 Image

Flux 3 Image is now available in Batch Banana. It is the image model in Black Forest Labs' Flux 3 family, alongside Flux 3 Video. It renders lettering cleanly in many languages, so posters, packaging and covers come out ready to use. The cover above is a single prompt: the photo, the masthead and every cover line.

Web search before it draws

With Web search on, Flux 3 Image looks up your prompt on the web before it generates. Name a real landmark, city or product, and it works from what it finds instead of from memory. Web search is on by default. Turn it off in the model settings for faster results.

Generate and edit in one model

Add up to 10 reference images and your prompt becomes an edit: put a product in a new scene, swap a background, or keep a character the same across a set. Describe the change, not the whole scene. Generate at 1K, 1.5K, 2K or 4K in any of 10 aspect ratios. A 1K image costs 6 credits, 2K costs 12 and 4K costs 72.

In Batch Banana, choose Flux 3 Image when you create an image, or ask Agent to use it in a chat. You can also connect Claude or another AI assistant to the Batch Banana MCP server and generate from there.

Ideogram 4.5

Ideogram 4.5 is now available in Batch Banana. It is Ideogram's newest model and the best at type: posters, logos, packaging and signage come out with clean, legible lettering. Generate at 2K in any of 10 aspect ratios, from a prompt alone or with up to 5 reference images. Choose Low, Medium or High quality. Medium costs 14 credits, the same as Ideogram 4, which it replaces. Magic Prompt expands a short prompt into a detailed one, or turn it off to get exactly what you wrote.

Change one thing, keep everything else

Ideogram Edit changes only what you describe. Each version above is one sentence applied to the one before: a new coat, then sunglasses and lemon trees, then a purse. The staircase, the shadows and her face never move. Because the rest of the image comes back untouched, you can keep editing the same image without it drifting. Add up to 4 reference images to show what you want added, like a product or a pattern. The result keeps the size of your original.

In Batch Banana, open any image in the editor and Ideogram Edit is the first tool. To make the same change to many images, select them in your library and apply the edit to all of them. You can also describe the change to Agent in a chat. Or connect Claude or another AI assistant to the Batch Banana MCP server and edit from there. An edit costs 2 to 47 credits, depending on quality.

Introducing Skills (beta)

Skills teach Agent how you like things done. Type / in a chat to pick from 30 built-in guides, from product shots to film stocks, or write your own for the whole workspace. It's in its early stages, so give it a try and tell us what you think.

Two new video models

MiniMax H3 makes 4 to 15 second clips at 768p or 2K, with sound. Start from a prompt, animate a first frame, set a last frame to land on, or hand it up to nine reference images to follow.

Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash makes 10 second clips from 360p up to 4K, in 16:9 or 9:16, also with sound. It takes a start frame, an end frame, or reference images.

Both always generate audio, so there is no toggle to remember.

A tidier feed

The feed can get busy once you have hundreds of generations. Click any date header to collapse it into a compact preview, and older days now start collapsed, so skimming back in time is much faster. Spot the one you were looking for? Click it, and the day expands with it right in view.

Everything is faster

The image picker now opens instantly, even in workspaces with thousands of images. Scrolling stays smooth, and thumbnails load at the right size, right when you need them.

Images tray

Every image an agent chat creates now lives in a tray above the composer, so you never scroll back through the thread to find one. Expand it into a grid, open any image full screen, or drag one into the composer as a reference.

No more waiting your turn

You can keep typing while Agent is working. Send a message and it queues up to run next, or press Steer to redirect the current turn without starting over.

A sprite sheet packs a whole set of characters, poses, or frames into one image. Until now, getting one of them out on its own meant careful manual cropping and masking.

You can now cut a sheet into clean transparent cutouts in one go. Generate a sheet with any model, or upload one you already have, and Batch Banana detects each sprite and cuts it out. Review the cutouts, merge any that got split, and save the ones you want to your library as separate transparent images. Use them as game sprites, or drop them into a poster, an ad, or any design.

Projects

Projects are a quick way to keep separate work separate. Pick one from the top bar and everything you generate is tagged to it, and your feed shows only what belongs to it. Agent chats are scoped the same way, so each project keeps its own threads. Run a client job, a game, and a campaign side by side without their images mixing.

Agent is a new way to create in Batch Banana. Instead of writing prompts yourself, have a conversation: explore directions, ask it to search the web for inspiration, and let it write the prompts and generate images or video for you. Attach images to give it direction, then keep iterating in the same chat until it's right.

Everything Agent generates lands in your feed like any other generation.

Prompt sets

Give Agent a bigger brief and it proposes a whole set of prompts. Edit them, pick which ones to run, then run the set and refine from the results.

Agent can do things

Generating isn't all of it. Agent can also create a project, invite someone to your workspace, search your library, or pull in an image from a URL as a reference. Anything with real consequences asks you first.

Pricing

Chatting with Agent is free. The images and video it generates cost the same credits as ones you run yourself, and bigger runs show their price and ask before spending.

You can now generate video in Batch Banana. Switch the composer from Image to Video and write a prompt like you always do, or attach an image to animate it. Pick aspect ratio, duration, resolution, and audio, and see the credit cost before you submit.

Finished video plays in your feed and lives in your library next to your images.

Nano Banana 2 Lite is Google's fastest and cheapest image model, now in Batch Banana at 8 credits per image, half the price of Nano Banana 2. It generates an image in about four seconds, nearly three times faster than the full model.

That speed changes how you work. Iterate freely: try directions, refine a prompt over many rounds, make quick edits. When you land on something you like, switch to a heavier model for the final render.

Lite generates and edits with up to 14 reference images and every aspect ratio in the app, at 1K resolution. New workspaces start with it selected.
