Last month, Google launched its latest AI-powered image editing tool, Nano Banana, in the Gemini app. Since then, the tool has gone viral on social media, boasting features ranging from transforming selfies into 3D models to removing unwanted objects from photos, creating images from scratch, adding landscapes to backgrounds, and even experimenting with new styles.

What does Nano Banana offer?

The best part about Nano Banana is that it’s not a paid service. It’s available in every country, in the personal, business, and paid versions of Gemini, so anyone can experience it. Now, it seems Google is preparing to bring the magic of Nano Banana to a wider audience by integrating it directly into Google Photos.

In Google Photos version 7.47.0.810631069, a new option called “Create” has been discovered in the existing “Create” tab in the app’s bottom navigation bar, which may be related to Nano Banana. Yes, the feature and tab share the same name, which is a bit confusing. However, you can better understand this change if you watch the video below.

If you don’t see the “Create” tab in your app, it’s because it’s currently limited to US users. This tab is reserved for a number of visual editing tools, including Animation, Cinematic Photo, Collage, Highlight Video, Photo to Video, and Remix. Experts reviewing the latest Google Photos version noticed the addition of a new tool called “Create,” likely to leverage the Nano Banana feature.

The GIF preview of the tool shows that you can change your look, add new backgrounds, combine multiple photos, and more. Essentially, these are all the features the Nano Banana image tool already offers. Interestingly, this feature is somewhat similar to the Help Me Edit tool (also known as Ask Photos) on the Pixel 10. This tool lets you edit photos by explaining the changes you want in everyday language. What’s unclear is how Google plans to differentiate Ask Photos from the new Create feature we’ve seen. Given how the company is positioning its Nano Banana technology, it appears it will offer more advanced features than Ask Photos.
