Image to image AI — keep what works, change what doesn't

Upload references and direct the change in plain language: restyle materials, swap backgrounds, hold characters steady across a whole series. The workflows users praise most, in one panel.

The same dress and pose restyled from red to emerald silk

Restyle without losing the composition

Change the fabric, the lighting, the season, the medium — while the framing and subject stay put. Reference-based restyling means the photo you liked becomes the photo you needed, instead of a lottery ticket on a new generation.

A perfume bottle shown on studio white and on a sunset beach

Background swaps with believable light

Move a product from white seamless to a sunset beach and the lighting, shadows, and reflections follow automatically — the tedious relight work users say takes the longest in manual editing. E-commerce sets that used to need a studio day take minutes.

Character model sheet with one heroine in four consistent outfits

Character consistency across a series

Nano Banana's celebrated "character DNA" keeps the same face, outfit, and style across poses and scenes. Build model sheets, story panels, and brand mascots that read as one character — the capability Reddit calls genuinely rare in AI tools.

A sunny street photo transformed into a neon cyberpunk night scene

Full-scene style transfer

Day to night, photo to anime, modern to cyberpunk — transform the entire mood of an image while its structure survives. Pair multiple references to fuse subjects, products, and scenes into one coherent composite.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What is image to image AI?

Generation guided by reference images: you upload one or more images, describe the change, and the model produces a new image that keeps what you specified — subject, composition, style — while changing the rest.

2

How many reference images can I upload?

It depends on the model — Nano Banana models fuse multiple references, and GPT Image 2 accepts up to 16. The panel shows the limit for the selected model.

3

Which model is best for keeping a character consistent?

Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro are the community picks for character consistency and face preservation across scenes and edits.

4

Can I just change one part of an image?

Yes — for surgical local edits like removing an object or changing one color, use Qwen Image Edit Plus, which preserves everything you did not ask to change.

5

Does it work with product photos?

Yes — background swaps, scene placement, and restyling with automatic lighting adjustment are core e-commerce workflows here.

6

How much does it cost?

Per-image credit costs depend on the model — from 20 credits for Nano Banana upward — and are always shown before you generate. Free accounts get 80 daily credits.

7

Will my uploaded photos stay private?

Uploads are used to fulfil your generation and stored securely. Ultimate members can additionally enable private generation to keep results out of the public gallery.
