Nano Banana 2 Lite: what it does
Google's most affordable image model on the Renoise Canvas.
Up to 14 references
Feed up to 14 reference images in one generation to hold a subject, product or style consistent.
1K image output
Generates 1K images — ideal for drafting, concepts and batch runs where volume matters more than max resolution.
One Canvas
Switch between Nano Banana 2 Lite, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2 and Seedream without leaving the page.
Nano Banana model tiers
Three tiers, one Canvas — pick by the resolution and budget the job needs.
| Nano Banana tier | 2 LiteRecommended | 2 | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per image | 4 credits | 8 credits | 16+ credits |
| Max resolution | 1K | 1K / 2K / 4K | 1K / 2K / 4K |
| Reference images | Up to 14 | Up to 5 | Up to 5 |
| Best for | Drafting & volume | Balanced quality | Studio-grade |
What you can create
A few of the things the image models on the Renoise Canvas produce.
Photoreal scenes
Natural light, texture and detail from a single prompt.
Consistent sets
Reference images keep a subject or style consistent across a batch.
Style range
One subject rendered across multiple art styles for campaigns and moodboards.
Batch at scale
High-volume concept runs where cost per image matters — draft fast, refine on a higher tier.
When to use Nano Banana 2 Lite
Nano Banana 2 Lite is the volume tier. At 4 credits per image — the lowest rate on the Canvas — it is the practical choice when you need to generate a lot of images fast without burning through your credit budget: concept sketches, A/B variation sets, moodboard drafts, or the first pass on a large batch before committing to a higher-resolution final.
The trade-off is resolution. Lite tops out at 1K. If the job needs 2K for print or 4K for large-format, step up to Nano Banana 2 or Nano Banana Pro on the same Canvas — no re-uploading, just a model switch. Lite's reference capacity (up to 14 images) is actually the same as Seedream 5.0 Lite, so it handles reference-heavy workflows like character or product consistency at low cost.
In Renoise, all three Nano Banana tiers run side by side, so the natural flow is: draft and explore on Nano Banana 2 Lite, then move the keepers to a higher tier for the resolution finals.

3.How many reference images does it support?
Up to 14 reference images in a single generation — the same as Seedream 5.0 Lite, and more than Nano Banana 2 or Pro (which top at 5). Useful for locking a subject, product or style across a batch.

Nano Banana 2 Lite is 4 credits per image — half the price of Nano Banana 2 (8 credits at 1K) and a quarter of Nano Banana Pro (16+ credits). It is the lowest-cost image model on the Renoise Canvas.
5.When should I use Lite vs the higher tiers?
Use Nano Banana 2 Lite for high-volume drafting, concept runs and A/B variation sets where 1K output is sufficient.

6.Who makes Nano Banana 2 Lite?
Nano Banana 2 Lite is Google's model (gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image). Renoise integrates it alongside Nano Banana 2 and Pro, GPT Image 2, Seedream 5.0 Lite and others — Renoise does not train the model itself.
