Generate and edit images using Google Gemini's native image generation models (Nano Banana / Nano Banana Pro). Supports text-to-image, image editing with reference images, multi-image composition, and character consistency. Use when the user asks to generate images via Gemini, create AI illustrations, edit photos with Gemini, or needs high-quality image generation with the Google API. Requires GEMINI_API_KEY. Triggers: "generate image with gemini", "nano banana", "gemini image", "create illustration", "AI generate picture", "text to image".

Gemini Image Generation

Generate and edit images via Google Gemini's native multimodal image generation.

Model Selection

Model IDCodenameBest forMax resolution
gemini-2.5-flash-imageNano BananaFast drafts, high-volume, low-latency1K
gemini-3-pro-image-previewNano Banana ProStudio-quality, text rendering, complex prompts4K

Default: gemini-3-pro-image-preview (Pro) unless speed/cost is a concern.

Setup

python
# Install (once)
# pip install google-genai
from google import genai
import os, base64
client = genai.Client(api_key=os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"])

If GEMINI_API_KEY is missing, instruct the user to set it as an environment variable. Never ask the user to paste the key in chat.

Text-to-Image

python
from google import genai
from google.genai import types
import os
client = genai.Client(api_key=os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"])
response = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemini-3-pro-image-preview",
contents="A photorealistic cat on a rainbow sofa",
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
response_modalities=["TEXT", "IMAGE"],
),
)
# Extract and save
for part in response.candidates[0].content.parts:
if part.inline_data is not None:
with open("output.png", "wb") as f:
f.write(part.inline_data.data)
break

Aspect Ratio

Set via image_config:

python
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
response_modalities=["TEXT", "IMAGE"],
image_config=types.ImageConfig(
aspect_ratio="16:9", # for slides / widescreen
),
)

Supported ratios: 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9

Common choices:

  • Slides / presentations → 16:9
  • Social media / portraits → 9:16 or 4:5
  • Square thumbnails → 1:1

Image Editing (with reference image)

python
from google.genai import types
from pathlib import Path
import base64
ref_bytes = Path("input.jpg").read_bytes()
response = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemini-3-pro-image-preview",
contents=[
types.Part(inline_data=types.Blob(mime_type="image/jpeg", data=base64.b64encode(ref_bytes).decode())),
types.Part(text="Remove the background and replace with a sunset gradient"),
],
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
response_modalities=["TEXT", "IMAGE"],
),
)

Pro supports up to 14 reference images for multi-image composition and up to 5 human reference images for character/identity consistency.

Batch Generation (for slides)

When generating multiple images (e.g. one per slide), loop sequentially and save with numbered filenames:

python
import os, time
from google import genai
from google.genai import types
client = genai.Client(api_key=os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"])
prompts = [...] # list of prompt strings
for i, prompt in enumerate(prompts, 1):
response = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemini-3-pro-image-preview",
contents=prompt,
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
response_modalities=["TEXT", "IMAGE"],
image_config=types.ImageConfig(aspect_ratio="16:9"),
),
)
for part in response.candidates[0].content.parts:
if part.inline_data is not None:
with open(f"slide_{i}.png", "wb") as f:
f.write(part.inline_data.data)
break
time.sleep(1) # rate limit courtesy

Error Handling

  • Safety filter block: The model may refuse prompts it deems unsafe. Adjust the prompt

to be less ambiguous (remove violent/adult/medical imagery language) and retry.

  • Empty response: If response.candidates is empty or has no image parts, the prompt

may be too vague. Add concrete scene details and retry.

  • Rate limit (429): Back off with exponential delay. Default: time.sleep(2 ** attempt).
  • Timeout: Set a reasonable timeout; Pro model may take 10–30s for complex prompts.

Prompt Best Practices

  • Structure: scene → subject → style → composition → constraints
  • Always specify art style: "flat vector illustration", "watercolor painting", "3D render", "photorealistic photograph"
  • Include lighting and mood: "soft diffused lighting", "dramatic rim light", "golden hour"
  • For text in images: quote exact text, specify font style and placement
  • For slide illustrations: add "negative space on [side]" to leave room for text overlay
  • Use English prompts even for non-English content (better generation quality)
  • Keep prompts under 500 words; be specific but not verbose

Style Consistency for Multi-Image Sets

When generating a series (e.g. slide deck), prepend a style prefix to every prompt:

Style prefix: "flat vector illustration, soft pastel color palette, clean lines, minimal detail, 16:9 widescreen"
Slide 1 prompt: "{style_prefix}, a wide establishing shot of a modern office building at sunrise"
Slide 2 prompt: "{style_prefix}, a close-up of hands typing on a laptop keyboard"

This ensures visual coherence across all generated images.
