Key Capabilities in Image Editing

1. Delta-Driven Composition

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.

2. Multi-Reference Conditioning

Pass multiple public image URLs in image_urls. Use one image for subject identity, another for environmental lighting, and a third for style cues.

3. Native 4K Re-rendering at Just $0.09

Edit images for high-resolution print or digital display at 4096×4096 without quality degradation or excessive fees.
