Nano Banana 2 Lite FAQ
Nano Banana 2 Lite is a practical choice for quick product concepts, social image variants, reference-led drafts, and layout exploration when a predictable 3-credit price matters more than choosing a resolution tier.
Yes. You can use text-to-image with no reference, or add up to 10 JPEG, PNG, or WebP images. Each reference image can be up to 30 MB.
No separate resolution control is exposed for Nano Banana 2 Lite because the current model contract only provides an aspect-ratio setting. Choose another model when explicit output resolution is a required delivery control.
You can choose Auto, 1:1, 1:4, 1:8, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:1, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 8:1, 9:16, 16:9, or 21:9. The extreme ratios are useful for testing banner and panoramic layouts, but the prompt should state where the main subject belongs.
Choose a model with explicit resolution or output-format controls when those settings are part of the delivery requirement, or when the selected direction needs a higher-priced final pass.
Write a detailed prompt, choose one of 15 aspect ratios, and optionally add up to 10 reference images before submitting the generation.
Nano Banana 2 Lite currently costs 3 Rivya credits per generation. There is no separate resolution price selector on this model.
Start with Auto when the composition is flexible. Choose a fixed ratio when the result already has a known destination, such as 1:1 for a square card, 9:16 for a vertical story, or 21:9 for a wide banner.
Yes. You can review the model publicly, but uploading references and submitting a task require sign-in so Rivya can validate files and manage credits and task history.
Move to Studio when a concept needs saved iterations, repeated aspect-ratio variants, reference organization, or a longer workflow beyond the first result.
