Rather than regenerating the entire canvas from scratch, Nano Banana 2.1 targets requested changes directly. Describe what must change and specify what should stay untouched; the model maintains subject identity, core posture, and lighting harmony.
Pass multiple public image URLs in image_urls. Use one image for subject identity, another for environmental lighting, and a third for style cues.
Edit images for high-resolution print or digital display at 4096×4096 without quality degradation or excessive fees.
