Nano Banana 2 is KIE’s Gemini-class image model (`nano-banana-2`) with optional reference images and up to 20,000-character prompts.
GenVid maps Text to Image and Image to Image to the same KIE model, passing `image_input` when you upload references.
Free-tier accounts can use Nano Banana 2 alongside Z-Image and GPT Image 2.5.
What it is
Nano Banana 2 is available on GenVid through the KIE unified jobs API (`POST /api/v1/jobs/createTask`). GenVid handles authentication, credit billing, and delivery—you work in Studio instead of wiring raw API calls.
Official parameter lists and model strings are documented on KIE; we mirror the same model ids in our catalog so quotes match production behavior.
