Nano Banana 2 Lite Image to Image example

Example — generated from this input

Change the rainy night outside the window into a bright, sunny spring morning with a blossoming pink cherry tree and blue sky. Keep everything else in the room exactly the same, including the sleeping cat, the armchair, the lamp, the books and the flat illustration style.

Pricing

Billed by actual usage; there is no fixed unit price.

Typically about $0.042 per image at default settings.

Each request temporarily reserves $0.042367; you are charged for actual usage, usually within a minute: any unused amount is released and any usage above it is charged to your balance, even if that takes it below zero; while your balance is below zero, new requests are paused until a top-up covers it.

Failed generations are not charged.

Async submission returns a task ID. Poll until status is completed, then retrieve the generated content from the result. Get your API key in the console.
