Nano Banana 2 Lite
Google's fastest Gemini image model
Nano Banana 2 Lite is an image model developed by Google. Google describes it as the fastest Gemini image model, built for situations where speed is the priority. It handles both image generation and editing.
On Artgen, use it to test prompts, compare ideas, or make quick drafts before you commit to a slower model. Google notes that it isn't optimized for multiple reference images or for multi-turn, step-by-step editing, so for detailed edits, Nano Banana 2.1 or GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst is a better fit. You can create from a prompt or upload an image and describe a change.
