| Summary | Nano Banana 2 Lite (Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image) is Google's fastest and most cost-efficient multimodal image generation model, designed for high-throughput visual workflows and real-time applications. It supports text-to-image generation, image editing, and multi-image composition through a unified API, while also producing text outputs alongside images. Delivering image generation in approximately 4 seconds, it combines fast inference with strong character consistency, precise editing, and real-world knowledge. The model generates 1K-resolution images across 14 aspect ratios and embeds an invisible SynthID watermark in all outputs. Optimized for the best balance of quality, speed, and cost, Nano Banana 2 Lite is ideal for prototyping, developer pipelines, and large-scale visual content generation. | Google Gemini 3.5 Transcribe speech-to-text.
