Banana Editor is an AI-powered image editor that uses Google's Gemini 3.0 Pro model for granular inpainting, enabling photorealistic edits with precise control.
What is Banana Editor?
Banana Editor is an AI-powered image editing platform that leverages Google's Gemini 3.0 Pro model to perform granular inpainting — precise, targeted edits to specific areas of an image while preserving the rest. Users upload images (JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 10MB), describe the desired edit in natural language, and receive photorealistic outputs. The tool runs entirely in the browser and is developed by Banana Editor. It offers multiple AI models including Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash), Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash), Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image), and GPT Image 2 (OpenAI).
Key Features
- Identity Lock — Protects faces, products, and logos from unintended changes across multiple edits, using reference locking and automated similarity checks.
- Scene Swap — Replaces backgrounds with lighting-aware renders that match the original image's illumination, using generative inpainting.
- Prop & Wardrobe Swap — Adds or changes garments, accessories, and props with fabric-aware detail, preserving pixel-level consistency.
- Lighting Direction — Adjusts time of day, rim lights, and color grade via generative lighting intelligence.
- Prompt Templates — Curated recipes for common use cases like portraits, ecommerce product shots, interior redesign, and VFX previz.
- Quality Restore — Auto-fixes artifacts after multi-turn edits, repairing edges, boosting clarity, and reapplying SynthID watermarks.
- Object Transform — Precisely replaces specific items (e.g., a handbag with a laptop) while keeping everything else intact, as demonstrated in sample edits.
Who is it for?

How does Banana Editor work?
- Upload up to 10 images (JPG, PNG, or WebP) via drag-and-drop or file picker. 2. Describe the desired edit in natural language — for example, "Replace the background with a dusk skyline" or "Add a branded tote bag to the subject's hand". 3. Review and download the result in high resolution (up to 4K) with your choice of output format (PNG, JPEG, or WebP). Each edit consumes credits (2 credits per edit).

FAQ
How does Banana Editor keep identities consistent?
It combines Gemini 3.0 Pro granular inpainting with reference locking and automated similarity checks on every edit, ensuring faces, products, and logos remain unchanged.
Can I control what changes versus stays the same?
Yes. Prompt templates allow you to specify protected areas, and you can layer mask annotations for extra control over which regions are edited.
Does quality degrade after multiple edits?
No. The quality restore pipeline repairs edges, boosts clarity, removes artifacts, and reapplies SynthID watermarking after each iteration, maintaining high fidelity.
