Try Nano Banana

TL;DR

I built Try Nano Banana to shorten time-to-first-image. It’s a prompt-first web app for quick drafts: text-to-image, simple edits, and multi-image fusion. Every new account gets one free generation (failed attempts don’t consume it).

Why I made it

Most image tools feel heavy when you just need a fast, usable draft to validate a prompt or test an ad idea. I wanted a first-mile tool that gets out of the way.

What it is

• Minimal UI: prompt → generate → download (PNG/JPEG)

• Three modes: Text-to-Image, Image Editing, Multi-Image Fusion

• Works on desktop & mobile

What’s different

• Focused scope (no bloat): built for drafting and handoff, not a full suite

• Clear trial: one free image per account; failures don’t burn the trial

• Distinct model profile that complements SD-based tools during concept exploration

Looking for feedback

1. How fast does the first render feel on your phone/4G?

2. Any confusing copy or steps in the UI?

3. Which presets or export sizes would make it more useful?

4. Where does it fit (landing hero, ads, thumbnails, mood boards, storyboards)?

I’ll be in the thread today—happy to answer questions and share implementation details.
