API Pricing
Where to Use Nano Banana 2 Lite
High-volume image generation pipelines
At approximately $0.044 per image, Nano Banana 2 Lite makes large-scale programmatic image generation economically viable — product visuals, content thumbnails, or automated asset creation at scale.
Multimodal data extraction
Submit documents, screenshots, or mixed-content pages and receive structured text output. The model handles text and image input simultaneously.
Real-time interactive apps
The model's lightweight profile keeps latency low enough for applications where users expect near-instant image generation responses.
Automated content pipelines
Combine text analysis and image creation in a single API call — product descriptions that generate matching visuals, or editorial workflows where written briefs become images automatically.
