Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nano Banana?

Nano Banana is an AI neural network for editing and processing photos, available in the Neuron bot. It works like a smart Photoshop: you upload a photo and describe what you want to change in text. The neural network understands English and performs complex operations — from outfit replacement to creating 3D figurines.

How to use Nano Banana for free?

Open the Neuron bot in Telegram. The free tier offers a limited number of generations per day. Send a photo, select the Nano Banana model, and write a text description of the desired changes. For more generations, paid plans are available.

What photos can be edited?

Nano Banana works with any photos: portraits, landscapes, interiors, group shots, black-and-white photos. Best results come from clear, high-quality photos with a resolution of at least 512x512 pixels. Supported formats are JPG and PNG.

Nano Banana vs DALL-E — which is better for Photoshop work?

DALL-E is better for generating images from scratch based on text prompts. Nano Banana specializes in editing existing photos — replacing elements, stylizing, removing objects. For Photoshop work on your real photos, Nano Banana is much more accurate in preserving the face, pose, and details of the original.

How long does processing take?

Processing one image takes 10 to 30 seconds depending on the complexity of the request. Simple operations (background replacement, hair color) are faster; complex ones (collages, 3D figurines) may take up to a minute.
