Why Keep Nano Banana v1 Classic in Your Workflow
A fixed 2-credit cost.
Each image costs 2 credits at the Standard setting. The model does not use the 1K, 2K, or 4K resolution tiers offered by newer models, so the per-image cost stays straightforward.
Create or edit in the same studio.
Start with a text prompt, or switch to Image to Image to edit a photo using natural-language instructions. You can add up to 4 reference images when you need to guide a generation.
Choose the model that fits the task.
Use v1 Classic when you want its original style at a low fixed cost. Move to Nano Banana 2 for a newer everyday workflow, Nano Banana 2.1 for native 4K and sharper text, or Nano Banana Pro for its cinematic portrait look.
