NANO BANANA IMAGE EDITOR
Nano Banana image editor inside a workspace that keeps every version
ImageQuarry lets you edit images with Nano Banana 2.1, its default model, or with Nano Banana Pro, both Google image models. You upload or generate an image, select a version, and describe the change in words; the result arrives as a new version and the earlier ones stay. If a result is not what you wanted, choose the other Nano Banana model, or one of the two GPT Image models, and send the same request to get a different result. Compare the versions and keep the one that suits the job.
Two Nano Banana models. One request. Every version kept.

What a Nano Banana image editor is in ImageQuarry
Nano Banana is the name of a family of Google image models, and ImageQuarry offers two of them: Nano Banana 2.1 and Nano Banana Pro. Searchers who type "nano banana image editor" usually want one thing: to edit a picture by describing the change, using those models. In ImageQuarry that is how editing works by default, because Nano Banana 2.1 is the model selected when you start. Nano Banana Pro sits alongside it, as do two GPT Image models, GPT Image 2.5 Flare and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. The model is a choice you make, not a separate tool. Your image, your request, your versions and your project stay the same whichever model you use. What changes is the result you get for the request, and the only way to know which result suits your image is to try the request and look.
This page is about using the Nano Banana models inside ImageQuarry. It is not a page from Google, and it describes no model beyond its name and maker.
Edit requests to try with a Nano Banana model
A lighting change on a product shot
Start on Nano Banana 2.1, the default. If the light comes back too strong or too weak, try the same words on Nano Banana Pro and compare.
A new surface under an object
A short request with two parts, the surface and the light, is easy to judge across models.
A color direction for a poster draft
Palette changes are a good test request because the difference between versions is easy to see.
A keep clause on a portrait concept
When you switch models, keep the wording identical so the comparison is fair.
An added object in a room
Object additions show how each result handles placement and shadow.
How to edit with Nano Banana in ImageQuarry
- 01
Start from an image
Upload the picture you want to change, or describe one and let ImageQuarry generate it.

Nano Banana 2.1 is selected by default. Choose Nano Banana Pro, or another model, if you want a different result for the same request.
- 03
Select a version and ask for the change
Write the edit in plain words. Each request builds on the version you selected and produces a new one.
- 04

What you get when you edit with Nano Banana here
Two Nano Banana models
Nano Banana 2.1 and Nano Banana Pro are both available, alongside GPT Image 2.5 Flare and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst.
A sensible default
Nano Banana 2.1 is the default model, so you can start editing without choosing anything.
Same request, different result
Choose a different model when you want a different result for the same request, then compare.
Edits in words, versions kept
Ask for new light, a new background, an added object or a new color direction; each change becomes a new version and earlier ones stay.
One history across models
Versions live in the workspace with the prompts, sources, references and conversation behind them, whichever model you used.
Working well with a choice of models
Hold the request still when you switch. If you change the model and the wording at the same time, you cannot tell which one made the difference. Send the identical request from the identical version, once per model, and compare those versions directly.
Switch from the same starting version. Select the version you edited from, not the result of the last attempt, before you try the next model. Otherwise you are comparing an edit of an edit with a first edit.
Note which model you used. When you settle on a version, jot the model down next to your notes for the project. It helps when you return to a similar image later and want to start where you left off.
Do not chase a model when the wording is the problem. If every model misses the same part of a request, the request is usually unclear. Rewrite it, with a clearer target or a keep clause, before you try more models.
Judge on your own images. Opinions about models online are about other people's pictures and other people's requests. The useful test is the request you actually need, on the image you actually have, compared side by side in your own project.
A single-model editor compared with a workspace that offers four
| Editor with one fixed model | ImageQuarry with four models | |
|---|---|---|
| When a result misses | Rephrase and try again on the same model | Rephrase, or send the same request to another model |
| Comparing results | Usually across separate sessions or tools | Side by side as versions in one project |
| History of the edit | Depends on the tool | Versions kept with their prompts and references |
| Choosing a model | Not a choice | Nano Banana 2.1 by default, three others to pick from |
What this page does not claim
