Google’s Nano Banana goes mainstream: Image editing comes to Gemini AI Mode and Lens
After its viral success inside the Gemini app, Google is expanding the reach of its Nano Banana model — now officially called Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. The playful name hides serious power, as the feature lets users generate and edit images directly from Search’s AI Mode and Google Lens, making creative edits faster and more accessible.
