Spicy Mayo AI image generator,
photo editor & video studio.

Spicy Mayo AI (spicymayo.co) is an independent studio for generating images, editing photos and making short videos with Nano Banana 2.1, Nano Banana Pro and other released models. The studio is named after the codename spicy-mayo (hyphenated): an anonymous image model that appeared in Arena's blind image battles on 9 September 2026 and was widely believed to be Google's next Nano Banana. The models come from Google, OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, ByteDance and others. We are not affiliated with Google, Google DeepMind or Arena.

No. spicy-mayo is the codename of a model seen only in Arena's blind battles since 9 September 2026; "Nano Banana 2.5" is the community's name for it, not an official Google model name. No one can use Nano Banana 2.5: Google has not released a model by that name. On 6 October 2026 Google released Nano Banana 2.1, and trackers report that this is what the spicy-mayo model became; Google and Arena have not confirmed the codename. You cannot select spicy-mayo here or through any public API. Our tracker lists every dated report and what is verified.

Nano Banana 2.1 is Google's image model released on 6 October 2026 (model id gemini-nano-banana-2.1): an update to Nano Banana 2 with 1K, 2K and 4K output, reference-photo editing and selectable thinking levels. It is selectable in Spicy Mayo for creating and editing images: 30 credits at 1K, 45 at 2K, 60 at 4K, with up to four reference photos in one edit. Spicy Mayo accesses it through fal.

For example: a cafe poster with "FRESH BAGELS DAILY" at the top in bold white letters. Request the exact words in quotation marks, keep the text short, and describe its placement. Check spelling and layout after generating. For a final logo or a precise poster headline, add approved typography in a design tool after creating the artwork.

For example: "same person as the reference, same red scarf, now sitting at a window seat". Use a clear reference and name the features, clothing, and proportions to preserve. Keep the framing similar and change one element per attempt. Reference-based edits can help continuity, but likeness and small details can still vary between generations.

For example: upload the product and the backdrop, then "place the bottle on the marble counter from the second photo, keep its label unchanged". Nano Banana 2.1 accepts up to four reference photos (JPG, PNG or WebP, 4 MB each) in one edit, so you can combine a product and a backdrop or keep a character consistent. Other image models accept one reference. Some video models offer first/last-frame or multi-reference inputs; those are separate video features.

Choose Edit image, upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 4 MB, and describe what should change. You can request a different outfit, new background, color change, or lighting adjustment. Name the details you want to preserve and inspect the result before downloading. Image editing accepts one reference per request, or up to four with Nano Banana 2.1.

Yes. Choose Create video to generate a clip from a text prompt or animate a reference image. Some models also support first and last frames, multiple reference images, or generated audio. Available modes, duration, resolution, and total credit cost are shown before generating. This is a clip generator, not a timeline editor for existing videos.

Image models include Nano Banana 2.1, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2, Flux Kontext, and Seedream 4.5. Video models include H3 Max, Veo, Kling, Seedance, and Happy Horse. The model catalog lists supported inputs, output settings, and credit costs so you can choose a model for your project.

Browse our examples for outfit changes, product photos, portraits, backgrounds, and image animation. Open an example to load its starting prompt, then adapt it to your own subject. The editing guide also includes an actual before-and-after result with its exact prompt and settings.

Only through Arena (arena.ai): open the image Battle mode, enter a prompt, vote, and the two model names are revealed afterwards. You cannot request spicy-mayo by name, it may not appear in a given battle, and after Nano Banana 2.1's release it may no longer be tested under that label. For a repeatable workflow with saved history, downloads and the released Google models, use the studio here.

You can explore the studio, examples, and prompts without a subscription. Generating images or videos requires a signed-in account, an active plan, and enough credits. New accounts do not receive free generation credits. No personal API key is needed.

The introductory offer is US$1.99 for 7 days with 225 credits, then US$29.99/month with 2,200 credits unless canceled before renewal.

We do not claim ownership of your generated images. You must have the rights to your uploads and respect applicable law, third-party rights, and the selected model provider's terms when using outputs. AI results are not guaranteed to be original or cleared for commercial use. Check people, logos, products, and any written claims before publishing.

No. Spicy Mayo is an independent studio. Nano Banana models and Veo are Google models we access through fal.ai, alongside models from OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, ByteDance, Kling and MiniMax. Model names are trademarks of their owners. We do not claim to run the anonymous Arena model, and we never will unless it is publicly released.
