Your photo is the starting point. Your words guide the edit.

An AI photo editor works with an image you already have. Upload a reference, choose an image model and describe the change rather than building the result from a blank canvas. Nano Banana brings that process into the same workspace you use to generate images, with model selection, output settings and your creations in one place. Be specific about what should change and what should stay, then compare the result with the original.

FAQs About Our AI Photo Editor

Practical details about editing your own images in the Nano Banana workspace.

What is an AI photo editor?

It is a way to transform an existing image using an image model and written instructions. Instead of describing a completely new scene, you provide the photo and explain which parts to change or preserve. Nano Banana's image workspace supports this reference-based editing process.

Can I edit a real photo rather than an AI-generated image?

Yes. You can upload your own photo as the starting image. Clear subjects and visible details give you a better basis for describing an edit. Keep the original file so you can compare the generated version with your source.

Do I need photo editing experience?

You can start with an ordinary-language instruction. Try one identifiable change first, such as adjusting a shirt color, and add the details that should remain the same. You do not need to build a layer-based composition to make your first request.

Which image files can I upload?

The image uploader accepts JPG/JPEG, PNG and WEBP. The workspace shows the applicable upload and reference limits. Use a clear, full-size source where possible and choose a model that supports the editing task you have in mind.

Can I choose a different image model?

Yes. The photo editor starts in image-editing mode, and you can switch to another available image model in the workspace. Input limits, settings and credit costs can differ between models.

How can I keep a face, product or composition unchanged?

Name those details explicitly in your prompt and limit the edit to a specific area or idea. Compare faces, product labels, proportions and small features in the result with the original. Generative edits can still alter details, so a preservation instruction is guidance rather than a guarantee.

Can I remove an object or replace the background?

You can request those changes through an image-editing model. Identify the object or background clearly and explain what should take its place. For an object removal, also describe the surrounding surface or setting so the model has context for the replacement area.

Is photo editing free, and do I need an account?

Sign in to create an edited image. Generations use credits, and any available introductory credits depend on your account and the current offer. Review the displayed cost and your balance before creating; the pricing page lists current plans and credit options.

Can I improve a low-quality photo?

You can ask the editing model to refine the appearance or try the dedicated AI Image Enhancer for enlargement and enhancement options. Available output sizes depend on the chosen model and settings. Compare fine details with the source instead of judging only the preview.

How do I save or keep editing a result?

Find the generated image in your creations, open it to review the details and use the download action to save it. To try another adjustment, use a suitable image-editing workflow with the version you want to work from and a focused new instruction.

Give Your Next Photo Edit a Clear Direction

Bring a photo, choose a model and describe one change. Explore the result in Nano Banana's image workspace, then refine the version that works for you.
