Working with Nano Banana 2 Lite.
Nano Banana 2 Lite is the low-cost, fast tier of Google's second Nano Banana generation. It carries the same two capabilities as the full model — text-to-image and prompt-guided editing — but is tuned for rapid generation and cheaper runs.
When to choose Nano Banana 2 Lite
Use Lite for volume work and iteration where speed and unit cost decide. The full Nano Banana 2 family is the one to finish on when maximum detail and realism matter.
Choosing between the variants
Text to Image is the generation route; Edit takes an existing image and applies a prompt. Both are the Lite tier, so expect quick turnaround rather than the sharpest possible output.
