Google released Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, a new model that many beta users knew as nanobanana, which gives enterprises more choice for creative projects. It enables them to change the look of images they need quickly and with more control than what previous models offered.
The model will be integrated into the Gemini app.
The model, built on top of Gemini 2.5 Flash, adds more capabilities to the native image editing on the Gemini app. Gemini 2.5 Flash Image maintains character likenesses between different images and has more consistency when editing pictures. If a user uploads a photo of their pet and then asks the model to change the background or add a hat to their dog, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image will do that without altering the subject of the picture.
“We know that when editing pictures of yourself or people you know well, subtle flaws matter, a depiction that’s ‘close but not quite the same’ doesn’t feel right,” Google said in a blog post written by Gemini Apps multimodal generation lead David Sharon and Google DeepMind Gemini image product lead Nicole Brichtova. “That’s why our latest update is designed to make photos of your friends, family and even your pets look consistently like themselves.”

All images generated on Gemini will include Google’s SynthID watermark. The model is available for all paid and free users of the Gemini app.
