Google is expanding the use of its new AI-powered image editing model, “Nano Banana.” Initially available as a test run for developers in AI Studio, this feature reached a wider audience with Gemini 2.5 Flash this summer. Nano Banana, which has already produced over 5 billion AI-powered image edits, is now being integrated into many more Google services. Thanks to this new technology, users will be able to make any desired changes to photos simply by typing text commands.

Nano Banana Coming to Search, Photos, and NotebookLM

Google Search will be one of the first platforms where the new model will be integrated. Users will be able to access this feature through the Google Lens app on both iOS and Android devices. After opening the app and taking a photo, a “Create” button with a banana icon will appear at the bottom. By tapping this button, you can enter the desired change to the photo, and the AI ​​will instantly execute the command. Editing can also be continued in “AI Mode,” Google’s AI-powered search mode.

Another service coming to Nano Banana is Google’s note-taking app, NotebookLM. However, its use will be slightly different from other platforms. Instead of freely editing images, users will be able to change the style of AI-generated video summaries. NotebookLM will offer new video styles supported by Nano Banana, such as “whiteboard,” “anime,” and “retro print.” A new format called “Summary” will also be added to the existing “Explainer” video format.

Undoubtedly, the most anticipated integration will be with Google Photos. Last month, Google added text editing to the app. However, this feature did not utilize the advanced Nano Banana model, which impressed testers. The company announced that Nano Banana, which it describes as a “major upgrade” from the previous model, will be coming to Google Photos in the next few weeks. This update is expected to make the AI-powered photo editing experience much smoother and more enjoyable.
