Change her outfit to a tailored navy blazer over a white shirt and move her to a bright modern office lobby. Keep her face, hair and pose unchanged.

Place this exact sneaker on a wet city sidewalk at night, neon shop signs reflected in the puddles, shallow depth of field, cinematic product shot. Keep the shoe design, colors and proportions unchanged.

Furnish this empty room in Scandinavian style: a beige linen sofa, a light oak coffee table, a wool rug, a floor lamp and a few potted plants. Keep the walls, windows, floor and lighting unchanged.

Turn this into a snowy winter evening: snow on the rooftops and cobblestones, warm light glowing from the windows, gentle snowfall. Keep the buildings and composition the same.

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/google/nano-banana-2.1/edit with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Nano Banana 2.1 Edit below.

time.sleep(2)Nano Banana 2.1 Edit is a Google model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Google Nano Banana 2.1 Edit is the latest Nano Banana image editing model, with gains in visual design, subject consistency and prompt adherence, up to 14 reference images and 1K to 4K output. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples for submitting requests and polling results. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/google/google-nano-banana-2.1-edit.
Nano Banana 2.1 Edit starts at $0.05 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_image_search`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/google/google-nano-banana-2.1-edit.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Google). Check the provider's applicable terms and WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service before commercial use.
