Tips

Generation time: Average ~15-20 seconds. Submit task, wait 10 seconds, then poll every 3 seconds.
Fast and affordable: Nano Banana excels at speed and cost-effectiveness, ideal for rapid prototyping and batch generation.
Callback mode: For high-concurrency scenarios, use callback mode to avoid frequent polling.
Image expiration: Result URLs are valid for 15 days. Download and store important outputs promptly.
Content moderation: Prompts must comply with content safety guidelines. Violations return CONTENT_VIOLATION.
Aspect ratio selection:
- 1:1: Square, for avatars and social media
- 3:2/4:3: Landscape, for traditional photos
- 2:3/3:4: Portrait, for mobile screens
- 16:9/21:9: Ultra-wide, for banners and backgrounds
- auto: Automatically select best ratio
Format selection:
- png: Lossless, supports transparency, larger file size (default)
- jpeg: Lossy compression, smaller file, good for fast transfer
Multiple references: image-to-image mode supports up to 5 reference images, model combines all styles and content.
Image formats: image_urls supports JPG, PNG, WebP, max 10MB per image.
