It’s been a huge year for our image generation and editing model Nano Banana, starting with its debut in August as the top-rated image editing model in the world. People immediately loved the first version of the model, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, thanks to its ability to maintain a consistent look across edits, blend photos together and otherwise use advanced editing to bring prompts to life. We quickly brought Nano Banana from the Gemini app to other products, like Search and NotebookLM, then in November released Nano Banana Pro. Built on Gemini 3 Pro, Nano Banana Pro uses Gemini’s state-of-the-art reasoning and real-world knowledge to visualize information better than ever before.

Amid all this momentum, it’s been incredibly fun to see creative Nano Banana use cases take off. Before 2025 peels out, check out a bunch of the most fun Nano Banana trends we’ve seen users try this year.
