    FAQ

    Is Nano Banana for images or video?

    Images. Use it to prep photoreal references, thumbnails, and keyframes before sending shots to video engines like Sora or Veo.

    How many images per run?

    Set `num_images` to 1–8. Batch a few variants, then reuse a seed to stay consistent.

    Does edit mode need masks?

    No masks needed. Upload a clean still and describe the transformation (cleanup, background swap, relight).
