# Nano banana2 Image Generation

>  - Supports text-to-image and image-to-image, up to 4K resolution output
- Up to 14 reference images for style/character consistency
- Supports extreme aspect ratios (1:4, 4:1, 1:8, 8:1)
- Integrated Google Search enhancement for more realistic image generation 

<Info>
  **Model name compatibility note**: This endpoint also accepts the alias `nano-banana-2-ext`, which is equivalent to `gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview`. The two are interchangeable and produce identical results.

## Authorizations

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string" required>
  All API endpoints require Bearer Token authentication

  Get your API Key:

  Visit the [API Key Management Page](https://gccai.heqingsong.uk/keys) to get your API Key

  Add it to the request header:

  ```
  Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
  ```
</ParamField>

## Body

<ParamField body="model" type="string" default="gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview" required>
  Image generation model name

  Supported models:

  * `gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview` - Standard version (compatible alias `nano-banana-2-ext`)
  * `gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-official` - Official version (compatible alias `nano-banana-2`)

  Example: `"gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview"` or `"gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-official"`

  <Note>
    For backward compatibility, the aliases `nano-banana-2-ext` (for `gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview`) and `nano-banana-2` (for `gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-official`) remain usable.
  </Note>
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="prompt" type="string" required>
  Text description for image generation
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="size" type="string">
  Image aspect ratio

  Supported ratios:

  * `auto` - Automatically choose the aspect ratio
  * `1:1` - Square, avatars, social media
  * `3:2` / `2:3` - Standard photos
  * `4:3` / `3:4` - Traditional display ratio
  * `16:9` / `9:16` - Widescreen / vertical video covers
  * `5:4` / `4:5` - Instagram images
  * `21:9` - Ultra-wide banner
  * `1:4` / `4:1` - Long poster / banner
  * `1:8` / `8:1` - Extreme long images / banner ads

  <Warning>
    For text-to-image, when `size` is `auto`, the default is `1:1` or `16:9`; for image-to-image, the aspect ratio follows the upstream response. We recommend specifying an aspect ratio.
  </Warning>
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="resolution" type="string" default="1K">
  Output image resolution

  Supported values:

  * `0.5K` - \~512px, low-resolution preview
  * `1K` - \~1024px, standard resolution (default)
  * `2K` - \~2048px, high resolution
  * `4K` - \~4096px, ultra-high resolution

  > **Note:** Different resolutions have different pricing. 4K costs more than 1K.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="n" type="integer">
  Number of images to generate

  Range: 1

  Default: 1

  **⚠️ Note:** Must enter a plain number (e.g., `1`), do not use quotes or it will cause an error
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="official_fallback" type="boolean" default="false">
  Whether to use the official channel fallback

  * `false`: Do not use (default)
  * `true`: Use official channel

  <Warning>
    When using the official channel (`gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview-official`), this parameter cannot be used.
  </Warning>
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="image_urls" type="array">
  Reference image URL list for image-to-image generation

  Two formats are supported:

  **1. Full image URL**

  * Publicly accessible image URL (http\:// or https\://)
  * Example: `https://example.com/image.jpg`

  **2. Base64 encoded format**

  * **Must use the full Data URI format**
  * Format: `data:image/{format};base64,{base64data}`
  * Supported image formats: jpeg, png, webp
  * Example: `data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABg...`
  * ⚠️ Note: Must include the `data:image/jpeg;base64,` prefix

  **Limitations:**

  * Maximum **14** reference images (recommended: up to 10 object refs + 4 character refs)
  * Single image size: not exceeding 10MB
  * Supported formats: jpeg, png, webp
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="google_search" type="boolean" default="false">
  Enable Google text search enhancement

  * `true`: The model will search web text information to assist image generation, suitable for scenarios requiring real-world information
  * `false`: Disabled (default)
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="google_image_search" type="boolean" default="false">
  Enable Google image search enhancement

  * `true`: In addition to text search, will also search for reference images to assist generation, suitable for scenarios requiring visual references
  * `false`: Disabled (default)

  > **Note:** Must be used together with `google_search: true`
</ParamField>
