Google launches Nano Banana 2 Lite for fast, low-cost AI image generation
Pricing is a key part of the model’s positioning. Google says Nano Banana 2 Lite costs $0.034 per 1,000 images, a price intended to make large-scale image generation more routine and accessible. In practical terms, that combination of speed and low cost makes the model better suited for high-volume workloads than precision-focused applications.
