Does Nano Banana support both generation and editing?

Yes. You can use text-to-image for new outputs and image-to-image for edits with reference images.

How many reference images can I use in edit mode?

Nano Banana edit mode supports multiple reference images (up to 10 in the current model mapping).

The workflow supports standard image export formats suitable for web and creative iteration.

Use clear subject, style, and composition constraints. For edits, specify what to keep and what to change.
