Nano Banana 2 Lite AI Image Editor
Nano Banana 2 Lite is the lightweight tier of Google's Nano Banana image model, and the one SayMaker runs as its free engine. Write a prompt or upload a photo to edit, and pay the same flat credit cost whichever resolution you pick.
Nano Banana 2 Lite AI Image Editor
From photo to edit
Four steps, and the first one carries most of the result.
Pick text or photo input
Text to image starts from nothing; image to image starts from a picture you upload.
Describe the change
Name what should change and what should stay. Edits drift when the prompt only says what to add.
Set the aspect ratio
Required on every request here, so choose the shape the final image needs.
Generate and download
Confirm the 15-credit estimate, run it, and save the result.
What is Nano Banana 2 Lite?
Nano Banana 2 Lite is the lightweight tier of Nano Banana, Google's Gemini image model. It does the two jobs most people actually come for — write a description and get a picture, or hand it a photo and describe the change you want — and it does them at a lower cost and a shorter wait than the full model.
On SayMaker it has a second job as well: it is the engine behind the free tier, which makes it the only free model on the site that accepts an image as input. That single property is what separates editing from generating. A model that only takes text can make you a new picture; it cannot take the photo you already have and change one thing about it.
Lite runs here, the credit estimate shows before you commit, and a generation that fails is refunded automatically unless it broke the content policy.
Creative engine
From input to output
Pick text or photo input, set the aspect ratio, and the credit estimate appears before you generate.
Text to image
Describe a subject, a style and a mood, and Lite renders it without needing any source material.
Image to image
Upload a photo and describe the change. This is the input mode the rest of the free tier does not have.
Flat pricing
Every resolution costs the same, so picking 4K is a quality decision rather than a budget one.
When Lite is the right pick
Reach for Lite when the job is a change to a picture rather than a showpiece: swapping a background, tidying an object out of frame, trying a look before you commit, or turning out something quick for a post. It is also the tier to start on if you have not spent anything yet, because you can judge real output before deciding whether the full model is worth it. When you need the harder things — several reference photos combined into one composition, or type that has to stay legible — that is the point to move up to Nano Banana 2 or Nano Banana Pro.
Editing, not just generating
The free tier's only image-input model, which is what makes photo editing possible at all without paying first.
Resolution costs nothing extra
The same 15 credits at 1K and at 4K, so there is no reason to draft small and re-run later.
A cheap way to find your prompt
Iterate here until the wording is right, then re-run the final on a heavier model if the job needs it.
Feature overview
A short feature list on purpose — Lite is the tier that does the common jobs cheaply, not the one that does everything.
Text to image
Generate a picture from a written description, with no source image needed.
Single-photo editing
Upload one photo and describe the change you want made to it.
Aspect ratio choice
Set the output shape — square, landscape, portrait and the wider social ratios.
Refund on failure
A generation that fails returns its credits automatically, unless it broke the content policy.

What people use the free tier for
The jobs that come up most on a light image tier, and why each one fits here rather than on a heavier model.
Trying a change before committing
See whether a background swap or a style shift is even the right idea, at a cost that makes a wrong guess cheap.
Everyday social images
Post and thumbnail visuals in the ratio the platform wants, generated in one pass.
Tidying up a photo
Remove something from frame or change one element while the rest of the picture stays put.
Working out the prompt
Find the wording that gets you the composition you want, then take that prompt to a heavier tier for the final.
SayMaker pricing — you pay per generation, never per seat

Model credit guide
What each model costs in credits
A failed run is refunded automatically. The exact estimate in the generator varies by model, length, resolution, audio, and number of images.
| Type | Model | Credit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Seedance 2.5 | The long-take tier, priced per second: 5s 480p ≈ 525 credits, 5s 720p ≈ 1,185. A full 30s take runs ≈ 3,150 at 480p and ≈ 7,090 at 720p. |
| Video | Seedance 2.0 | Supplying a starting frame or clip costs less than starting from words alone: 6s 720p ≈ 565 credits from an image, ≈ 925 from text. Scales with resolution and length. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Fast | Faster and lower cost. 6s 720p text-to-video ≈ 745 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Mini | The cheapest tier of the Seedance 2 family. 6s 720p ≈ 465 credits, 6s 480p ≈ 215 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 1.5 Pro | Audio doubles the rate. 6s 720p ≈ 85 credits silent, ≈ 160 with audio; 1080p ≈ 175 and ≈ 340. |
| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video, not per second, and the tier you pick is the whole price: Lite ≈ 115 credits at 720p and ≈ 135 at 1080p, Fast ≈ 225 at 720p, Quality ≈ 940 at 720p. |
| Video | Kling 3.0 | Audio raises the rate by about half. 6s 720p ≈ 320 credits silent, ≈ 455 with audio; 1080p ≈ 405 and ≈ 610. |
| Video | MiniMax H3 | Fixed 2K, no resolution ladder. Priced per second — a 5s clip ≈ 395 credits. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 | Generate or edit from text and images. 20 credits per 1K image, 30 at 2K, 45 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana Pro | Consistent run times across generations. 30 credits per 1K or 2K image, 55 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 Lite | Faster, simpler variant, and the everyday editing price: a flat 15 credits per image at every resolution. |
| Image | GPT Image 2 | The lowest-cost premium image model here. 10 credits per 1K image, 15 at 2K, 30 at 4K. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Flare | OpenAI's newest image model, on the fast tier. 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K — same price whether you generate or edit. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | The 2.5 tier for edits that touch only what you named. Same price as Flare: 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K. |
| Image | Seedream 5.0 Lite | Flat pricing — 20 credits per image whether you generate or edit. |
Nano Banana 2 Lite FAQ
Common questions about the free Nano Banana 2 Lite image editor.
It is the engine behind SayMaker's free tier, and you can start without an account — an anonymous wallet covers your first edits. After that it costs 15 credits per image, the same at every resolution.
Lite is the lightweight tier: it takes one source image and costs a flat 15 credits at any resolution. The full Nano Banana 2 accepts up to 14 reference photos for composites and style transfer, and its cost rises with resolution. Both generate from text.
Yes, and on the free tier it is the only model that can. Upload one photo, describe the change, and set an aspect ratio — that last one is required on every request here.
No. Every resolution is the same flat 15 credits on this tier, so there is no reason to draft at 1K and re-run at 4K.
A light tier will re-imagine parts of a photo when the prompt only says what to add. Name what must stay the same — the face, the pose, the background — in the same sentence as the change you want.
Credits are returned automatically, unless the request broke the content policy.
Lite is the everyday editing price — a flat 15 credits at any resolution, and the engine behind the free tier. It handles clean, simple edits; when a result needs more detail or complex changes, the same prompt moves to Nano Banana 2 unchanged.
