The latest major upgrade to roll out in this category of AI is for Google’s Gemini app. It’s known as Nano Banana after the codename it had while still in testing—officially, it’s called Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. In addition to general improvements, it really excels in image editing, which is where generative AI has previously struggled. This is where Gemini can get you fast and effective results without the need for a full image editor.
