A fast 1K image workflow
What is Nano Banana 2 Lite?
Nano Banana 2 Lite is a browser workflow for turning a written brief or an existing image into a polished 1K draft. It uses Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite Image for fast, low-cost iteration, so ideas can be reviewed while the brief is still fresh.
Use Nano Banana 2 Lite to explore product angles, campaign variants, readable short-form text, and consistent subjects. When an approved concept needs higher resolution or tighter production control, move that smaller set of directions to Nano Banana Pro.

Built for iteration
Move from a brief to a useful direction without breaking pace
The value of Lite is not one perfect render. It is the ability to test more of the visual decisions that make an image useful before time and budget shift to final production.
Prompt-based editing
Change the part that missed the brief
Upload an existing image and request a focused revision to the message, setting, language, crop, or visual emphasis without rebuilding the whole concept.
Create with LiteReadable image text
Judge the copy and the visual together
Place a headline, label, date, or short call to action in the draft so reviewers can evaluate the complete communication rather than an empty background.
Create with Lite
Subject continuity
Explore new scenes without losing the main idea
Keep a recognizable character, product, or visual anchor across revisions so a sequence or campaign family still feels connected.
Create with LiteFrom brief to review
Three deliberate steps, one fast feedback loop
The workbench is already at the top of the page. The Lite workflow works best when the image has one clear job, one reviewable direction, and one edit at a time.- 01
Give the image a job
Start with the deliverable and audience. Then describe the subject, setting, composition, required text, and where the image will appear.
- 02
Generate a direction or bring a draft
Begin from text when the idea is new, or upload an existing image when the composition works and only part of the visual needs to change.
- 03
Revise the decision, not the whole image
Change the headline, lighting, crop, prop, or background in separate passes. Compare the 1K results and keep only the strongest direction.
Use fast drafts where more options improve the decision
Lite is strongest before the final asset is locked. These are the moments when a quick 1K result creates useful choices instead of extra production overhead.
Marketing and campaigns
Turn one brief into distinct campaign directions, test headline placement, and arrive at stakeholder review with choices instead of a single expensive guess.
