Website: https://bananaeditor.art/

## Summary
Banana Editor is a browser-based AI photo editor with two best-in-class editing engines:
- **Nano Banana Pro** — powered by Google Gemini 3.0 Pro; optimized for granular inpainting, identity-consistent multi-turn edits, and precise localized changes.
- **GPT Image 2** — powered by OpenAI GPT Image 2; optimized for natural-language photo edits with high-fidelity output up to 4K, no API key required.

Both modes are free to start, run entirely in the browser, and require no downloads or subscriptions.

## AI Engines

### Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3.0 Pro)
- Granular inpainting with pixel-level control.
- Identity lock — faces, products, and logos stay consistent across iterations.
- Scene and background swaps with lighting-aware results.
- Wardrobe and prop changes without altering the subject.
- Lighting and mood direction (time-of-day, rim light, color grade).
- Multi-turn editing with quality-restore to repair artifacts.
- Prompt templates (recipes) for repeatable, reproducible workflows.
- SynthID watermark support.
- Batch mode: up to 14 reference images.

### GPT Image 2 (OpenAI)
- Natural-language photo editing — describe edits in plain English.
- High-fidelity output up to 4K resolution with realistic textures.
- No OpenAI API key or account required; handled entirely by Banana Editor.
- Free credits for new users; no credit card needed to start.
- Broad edit types: background replacement, object addition/removal, style transfer, color changes, lighting adjustments.

## How It Works
1. Choose your engine: Nano Banana Pro (Gemini) for granular inpainting, or GPT Image 2 (OpenAI) for natural-language edits.
2. Upload a base image (Nano Banana Pro also accepts up to 14 reference images).
3. Describe what to change and what to preserve (use a prompt recipe for repeatable results; add masks/annotations for extra control with Nano Banana Pro).
4. Review the before/after, iterate, then export full-resolution results.

## Credits & Getting Started
- Free to start: new users receive free credits; no credit card required.
- Earn additional credits through daily check-ins (up to a 5-week cap; upgrade to reset).
- Credits are shared across both editing engines.

## Input Limits (UI)
- Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP.
- Max file size: 10 MB per image.
- Batch/reference mode (Nano Banana Pro): up to 14 reference images.

## Common Use Cases
- Content & Social: identity-consistent carousels, seasonal scene swaps, reels-ready lighting grades.
- Ecommerce & Catalog: PDP scene refreshes, packaging/label updates, new colorways, platform-specific crops.
- Interiors & Architecture: material swaps, virtual staging, room extensions, day-to-night mood changes.
- Film & VFX: alternate camera angles, FX passes, start/end frames for motion and storyboards.
- Portraits: wardrobe swaps, background replacement, lighting refinement, detail retouching.

## FAQ Highlights
- **Do I need an API key?** No. Neither engine requires you to supply an OpenAI or Google API key.
- **Is it free?** Yes — free credits are included for new users on both engines; no credit card needed.
- **Output quality?** GPT Image 2 supports up to 4K. Nano Banana Pro delivers full-resolution exports.
- **Identity consistency?** Nano Banana Pro uses reference locking, granular inpainting, and automated similarity checks. GPT Image 2 preserves context through its native model comprehension.
- **GPT Image 2 vs DALL·E 3?** GPT Image 2 has significantly higher fidelity, better text rendering, and stronger instruction-following than DALL·E 3.
- **Best use cases:** portraits, wardrobe swaps, background replacement, product relighting, interior redesign, VFX previz, natural-language quick edits.
