# Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) API

> Quickstart for Google Nano Banana — fast, cost-efficient text-to-image and natural-language image editing.

## Overview

**Nano Banana** (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) is the original, cost-optimised tier of Google's Nano Banana image family, available on RouterBase. It delivers high-quality images with strong prompt fidelity at a flat per-image price — ideal for high-volume workloads, quick iteration, and batch generation. For the flagship tier see [Nano Banana Pro](/google-gemini-3-pro-image-api/quickstart); for the low-latency successor see [Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (Nano Banana 2)](/google-gemini-3-1-flash-image-api/quickstart).
