# Nano banana lite

## Nano Banana - Lite

A new, lighter tier in Google's Nano Banana lineup, live in the Image tool's model picker alongside [Nano Banana](/ai-models/image/nano-banana), [Nano Banana 2](/ai-models/image/nano-banana-2), and [Nano Banana Pro](/ai-models/image/nano-banana-pro) — an addition to the lineup, not a replacement for any of them. In-app it shares the same tagline as Nano Banana 2 ("Next-level multi-image generation and editing"), so its actual differentiation from the rest of the lineup isn't yet clear from the product UI alone.

<Note>
  This page covers what's confirmed live in the product so far: the model exists, with the tagline above (no "new" badge observed). Detailed specs and how it differs from the other three Nano Banana tiers haven't been independently verified — treat this as a placeholder pending a fuller pass.
