# 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"). It's available in both **Create** and **Edit**, and it supports the widest range of aspect ratios in the Nano Banana lineup, from 8:1 panoramas to 1:8 vertical strips.
