Google's latest AI image editing tool, "Nano Banana," has quickly become popular in just a week, attracting over 10 million new users who have completed an astonishing 200 million image edits. As a new feature of Google Gemini, this innovative tool is considered a major breakthrough in the field of AI editing.
The reason "Nano Banana" has attracted widespread attention is mainly because it successfully avoids the "uncanny valley effect" commonly seen in AI-generated images. User feedback shows that whether editing figurines or real human images, Nano Banana can maintain consistency in character features, performing quite well. Additionally, its operation is simple and easy to understand, with many functions even outperforming competitors like GPT-4o.
Image source note: The image was generated by AI, and the image licensing service provider is Midjourney.
Another significant advantage of this tool is that after multiple edits, the character features do not become distorted or lose similarity. Users can freely adjust room colors, add clothing to their pets, or change characters' appearances, and the final image will still maintain clear individual identification. This makes users more flexible when creating content and also improves the quality of editing.
Josh Woodward, vice president of Google Lab, revealed on social media that since the launch of the Nano Banana feature, the internal servers have been under heavy load, with "TPUs severely overloaded and SRE alerts constantly going off," which is enough to illustrate the popularity of this tool. In addition, the Gemini platform offers free users up to 100 edits per day, while paying users can enjoy up to 1,000 editing privileges.
Analysts believe that Google's strategy is clear: by providing intuitive and high-quality image editing tools, they aim to attract users to join the Gemini ecosystem. Compared to most AI editors that are still in the demonstration stage, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image has shown real application value and may lead a new trend in AI image editing.
With the sharp increase in user numbers, Nano Banana undoubtedly adds a highlight to Google's layout in the AI field and provides a more convenient and efficient image editing experience for a wide range of users. In the future, as technology continues to improve, we look forward to Nano Banana bringing more surprises to more users.
