How it works on this site
Membership & credits
Membership unlocks create; credits span models with a pre-run quote.
Live catalog
Size, duration, input mode, and audio follow the studio catalog, with a quote before you run.
What Nano Banana is best at
Nano Banana standard is the lighter AI image tier on sora2.cc for fast text-to-image drafts, prompt research, moodboards, and low-cost AI painting loops. Membership unlocks create; credits quote before each run in the on-site studio at /generate/.
Use short prompts and change one variable per attempt — subject, light, or style — until the brief becomes clear. Prefer 1K / 2K class outputs while exploring so you buy more tries per credit instead of polishing the wrong idea.
It will not beat Pro on textures or Nano Banana 2 on awkward aspect ratios, and that is the point. Stay here while you are hunting a prompt; switch to Pro for client-facing fidelity, or to Nano Banana 2 when the canvas itself is wide or tall.
When a still must ship, re-run the keeper on the right higher tier inside the same account. Skipping the cheap loop usually burns Pro credits discovering that the subject was wrong. Exact sizes follow the live catalog.
Highlights
Explore without burning Pro
Standard Nano Banana exists so prompt research and moodboards stay affordable. You get real text-to-image loops instead of guessing wording on a fidelity tier.
Clear upgrade path
Move winners to Pro when surfaces must be sharper, or to Nano Banana 2 when the canvas is wide or tall. One account, one studio, three jobs.
On-site draft workflow
Membership unlocks create; packs add usage when needed. Generate at /generate/ with this lightweight model preselected from the landing CTA.
Shared credits, fast draft loop
Credits are quoted before each run and shared with Pro and Nano Banana 2 on the same sora2.cc account. Burn more cheap attempts while direction is still moving.
Best for
Prompt research
Find subject–scene–light wording that works before you spend Pro credits on a still that will be reviewed.
Batch ideation
Many small variants for moodboards, colorways, and composition tests in one session.
Teaching the pipeline
Show teammates how create, quotes, and references work without maxing quality settings.
Throwaway experiments
Weird styles and risky ideas belong here first, not on the fidelity tier.
How to start
- 01
Open standard Nano Banana
The CTA locks the lightweight tier in /generate/ so you start on the cheap loop on purpose.
- 02
Keep prompts short
Change one variable per run: subject, light, or style. Long prompts hide what actually worked.
- 03
Save the keepers
Note the prompt, ratio, and references that survived. Discard the rest without guilt.
- 04
Promote winners
Re-run keepers on Pro for fidelity or Nano Banana 2 for layout. Do not ship standard if the brief needed those tiers.

FAQ
Is this the Nano Banana family page?
No. The family hub is /models/nano-banana/ and compares Pro, 2.1, 2, 2 Lite, and standard. This page is the selectable standard tier only, with a create CTA that preselects it in /generate/.
Why choose standard instead of Pro?
Choose standard when quality ceilings can wait and you need more text-to-image attempts per credit. It is the right tool for prompt research, moodboards, and teaching the studio. It is the wrong tool for client-facing fidelity.
Can I switch tiers later?
Yes. Change the model in the studio or open another landing CTA. Membership and credits stay on the same sora2.cc account. Promote keepers instead of restarting the brief from scratch.
Does standard support references?
When the studio mode for this tier exposes them, yes. Use references sparingly while you are still discovering the prompt. Heavy reference work often belongs on Pro once the idea is stable.
Which aspect ratios fit the standard tier?
Use it for the lightest daily loops and common ratios. Move to Nano Banana 2 or Pro for ultra-wide layouts or delivery polish. Sizes follow the live catalog.
What sizes should I use while drafting?
Prefer 1K / 2K class outputs for exploration. Raise size after you move a keeper to Pro or Nano Banana 2. Confirm live options and the credit quote in the studio.
