Frequently Asked Questions about Nano Banana 2.1 API

What is Nano Banana 2.1?

Nano Banana 2.1 is Google's efficient image generation and editing model, based on Gemini 3.6 Flash. On PoYo, use nano-banana-2.1 to create images from text or guide edits with reference images. Choose 1K, 2K or 4K output for product visuals, posters, illustrations and other creative content.

How much does Nano Banana 2.1 API cost on PoYo?

Pricing is per image and applies to both text-to-image generation and reference-image editing: 1K costs 4 credits ($0.02), 2K costs 6 credits ($0.03), and 4K costs 10 credits ($0.05). The Playground displays the estimated credits for your selected resolution. Top up your balance and pay as you generate.

How do I start using the API?

Create a PoYo API key, add credits, then submit a request to /api/generate/submit with model set to nano-banana-2.1 and a prompt inside input. Use the returned task_id to query /api/generate/status/{task_id}. You can also explore the same parameters in the online Playground.

Can I use multiple reference images?

Yes. Provide 1–10 HTTP(S) image URLs in image_urls to guide editing and composition. The Playground lets you upload images, enter URLs or choose assets from your library. Combine references with a clear prompt describing the subjects, visual style and changes you want to create.

Which resolutions and aspect ratios can I choose?

Choose 1K, 2K or 4K resolution, with 1K as the default. Available aspect ratios are 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9 and 21:9. Reference-image editing also offers auto, which adapts the output proportions to the reference image.

How do default settings work?

A text-only request defaults to size 1:1 and resolution 1K. A request with reference images defaults to size auto and resolution 1K. In the Playground, an aspect ratio you explicitly select stays selected when you add references. These defaults make it easy to start and refine your output settings.

How can I create images with multilingual text?

Include the exact wording, target language and desired placement in your prompt. Nano Banana 2.1 improves text rendering for content such as posters, labels, menus and visual explanations. Choose 2K or 4K when your design calls for finer typography, then review the result and iterate with a reference image.

How do I track and download a generation?

Each submission returns a task ID for asynchronous status tracking. The Playground displays the processing state and shows the completed image when it is ready. View the response JSON for integration details or download the generated image. For API workflows, poll the task status endpoint or configure a callback URL.
