Google’s Nano Banana image generation and editing model has been a huge success since its launch in late August. This model allows users to create realistic AI images from text and edit existing photos using natural language prompts. Google is now testing Nano Banana image editing in Gemini’s floating overlay.
According to a report by Android Authority, a new “Edit this image” option has been spotted above the Gemini overlay in Google app version 16.42.61. This feature is visible when a user adds an image while triggering Gemini over an app or menu.
Curious about how this new option works? When you tap on “Edit this image,” Nano Banana mode is activated, allowing you to edit the image by adding a text prompt. The process is similar to using Nano Banana in the Gemini app.
It’s important to note that this feature may not be available to everyone yet. When triggering Gemini in an app, many users still see options like “Share Screen With Live” or “Ask about screen.”
Google has been exploring different ways to incorporate Nano Banana into its various apps. The company has tested image editing capabilities using the model in Google Lens, NotebookLM, and AI Mode. Additionally, Google is reportedly testing image editing with Nano Banana in Google Photos.
It seems that Google is determined to make the most of Nano Banana’s success by integrating it into all aspects of its apps. In addition to image editing, Google is also testing a “Feeling Lucky” option with Nano Banana, although the exact functionality remains unclear. Users may soon be able to create trendy edits using Nano Banana once this feature is rolled out to everyone.
Overall, Google continues to push the boundaries of image editing technology with Nano Banana, making it accessible across different platforms and features within its ecosystem.
