TOOL
“Nano Banana” (Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) model
[Dec2025]
WHY USE IT?
If you want to move past mediocre stock images and are tired of your websites images looking like every other stock photo, check it out! It’ll give your clients something bespoke. Another reason is because it handles image-to-image editing and character consistency - really fast!
WHAT CAN IT DO?
Let me share a demo!
Looking at this Sitejet Community page, I liked the website template CoffeeScience
The ABOUT page image, I’ve decided it’ll be moved to the landing page. H owever doing an internet image search, it was interesting to see how many websites are using this exact image. So to be different, here’s where Nano Banana came into play!
Using Nano, I was able to place a male sitting beside the female.
Then to continue the not-so-empty effect, a barista completed the scene.
Okay, I can see it’s not a 10 out of 10 edit (male has no window reflection) however I’m still pleased with the outcome. If you conduct an image search, you’ll see the additions others have made with theirs. The same original stock photo with their AI spin.
A quick heads-up on usage:
Nano Banana is free and has dynamic limits. Using ‘Thinking’ mode, you’ll hit a wall after just 2 or 3 image requests. Using ‘Fast’ mode, you’ll get way more mileage before you hit a daily limit. Just be as descriptive as possible. Makes for less editing time.
BtW: I had no idea what the “A.Q.” (on the café menu) meant. Perplexity.ai said: 'almost always means ‘As Quoted’, which is another way of saying “price varies, ask for the current price.”
