Nano Banana Is Coming to Google Search, NotebookLM and Photos

In August, we introduced our latest image editing model, Nano Banana from Gemini 2.5 Flash. And since then, we’ve seen many of the unique and creative ways people have put it to use in the Gemini app, with more than 5 billion images generated to date.

Now, we’re bringing Nano Banana to Google Search and NotebookLM (and soon to Photos), helping more people access these advanced capabilities in products where they’re already exploring, learning and creating with visuals.

On Search, you'll be able to snap a photo with Lens (or select one from your gallery) and instantly transform your image with help from AI. Just open Lens in the Google app for Android or iOS and tap the new Create mode to get started.

In NotebookLM, Nano Banana is now working under the hood to make Video Overviews even more helpful. It brings 6 new styles to overviews (like watercolor and anime), generates contextual illustrations based on your sources and powers a new format called Brief, for when you only need quick insights.

In the weeks ahead, we'll also bring Nano Banana to Google Photos, so keep your eyes peeled for more details soon!
