What you can make

One photo. One instruction. See what changed.
We asked Nano Banana Pro to turn the orange chair cherry red while preserving the scene. The chair color changed; reflections and fine details were re-rendered. This is one studio result, shown with its original reference.
Exact prompt: “Change the orange chair to a glossy bright cherry red chair. Preserve the chair shape, the blue water, reflection, background, and composition.”

- 01
Upload your reference
Choose one JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 4 MB (up to four with Nano Banana 2.1). A clear image with a visible subject gives you a useful starting point.
- 02
Describe what changes and what stays
Ask for one specific change, then name the details to preserve: shape, position, material, background, or lighting.
- 03
Compare and download
Pick an aspect ratio close to the original and generate a 2K or 4K result. Inspect the subject and fine details before downloading.
Three prompts to start with
These are starting instructions, not guaranteed results. Change the subject or setting to fit your idea.
Change one color
Change the main subject to a rich cherry red. Preserve its shape, texture, position, and the surrounding scene. Keep the lighting and perspective consistent.
Use this promptTry golden-hour lighting
Relight this photograph with soft golden-hour light from the left. Preserve the subject, clothing, framing, and background. Use natural warm highlights and realistic shadows.
Use this promptAdd a film-inspired look
Give this photograph a subtle editorial film look with warm colors and fine grain. Preserve the subject, composition, and recognizable details. Avoid excessive smoothing.
Use this promptPut it to work on a real project
Change an outfit in a photo
Replace the jacket with a navy linen blazer. Keep the person's face, hairstyle, pose, trousers, and background as close to the original as possible. Match the existing light and fabric folds.
Before you publish: Inspect the face, hands, clothing edges, and body shape. This is a creative wardrobe visualization, not a prediction of garment fit or an exact virtual fitting room.
Refresh a portrait or interior
For a portrait, ask for softer window light while preserving expression and framing. For a room, change just one wall color or upholstery material while preserving furniture positions and perspective.
Before you publish: Change one feature per attempt so you can compare results. Use a photo you have permission to edit, and check details that the model was asked to preserve.
Make the result work for you
Start with a small edit
Changing a single color is easier to assess than changing the outfit, setting, camera angle, and lighting at once.
Match the original framing
A very different aspect ratio asks the model to reinterpret the composition. Start with the closest available ratio when framing matters.
Check what should stay
AI can change faces, lettering, textures, and proportions even when asked to preserve them. Compare the result with your original.
BEFORE YOU START
Spicy Mayo image and photo editing FAQ.

How do I edit an image with Spicy Mayo?
Open Edit image, upload one JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 4 MB, and describe your change. Name the subject details you want to preserve, choose your model and settings, then generate. Compare the result with the original before downloading the PNG.
Is photo editing different from image generation?
An image edit starts with your uploaded photo and a text instruction. Text-to-image generation starts with your description alone. Spicy Mayo supports both in the same studio; use Edit image when an existing photo should guide the result.
Can I change clothes or replace a photo background?
Yes. Describe the new clothing or setting and ask to preserve the face, pose, and framing. For example: replace the jacket with a navy linen blazer, keep the person's face and pose, and match the existing light. Check clothing edges and likeness; an outfit edit is a creative visualization, not a guarantee of garment fit.
Can I add readable text to an image?
You can request text in the prompt. Put the exact wording in quotation marks, keep it short, and specify where it should appear. Check every letter in the output. For a final logo, legal label, or precise poster layout, add approved typography in a design tool after generating the artwork.
How can I keep the same person or character across edits?
Reuse a clear reference and describe the features, clothing, and proportions that should stay. Keep the framing similar and change one element at a time. A reference helps guide continuity, but faces and small details can still change between outputs.
Can I combine several reference photos in one edit?
Yes, with Nano Banana 2.1: upload up to four reference photos (4 MB each) and say which photo supplies which element, for example "the person from photo 1 wearing the jacket from photo 2". Other image models accept one reference per edit.
Can I use Nano Banana 2.5 for photo editing?
There is no released model called Nano Banana 2.5; it is the community name for the Arena test model "spicy-mayo", which trackers report shipped as Nano Banana 2.1 on 6 October 2026 (Google has not confirmed). This page opens an editing workflow with Nano Banana Pro; switch to Nano Banana 2.1 in the studio for multi-photo edits at 30–60 credits. Examples on this page identify the model that produced them. Our spicy-mayo tracker has the dated sources.
Which image-editing model should I choose?
Nano Banana 2.1 offers 1K, 2K and 4K output, eight aspect ratios and up to four references at 30–60 credits. Nano Banana Pro offers 2K and 4K at 50–100 credits. Flux Kontext, Seedream 4.5, and GPT Image 2 provide other editing options with different costs and settings. Choose for the output you need and compare results on your own photo; there is no single model that is best for every edit.
Is Spicy Mayo the name of a Google model?
No. "spicy-mayo" is the Arena codename of an anonymous image model seen in blind battles from 9 September 2026 and widely believed to be Google's; Spicy Mayo (this site) is an independent studio named after the codename. The model picker identifies the released model used for each request — Nano Banana Pro by default on this page, or Nano Banana 2.1 — and our studio name does not imply access to an unreleased model or any affiliation with Google.
Where can I find photo-editing prompts?
Start with the three prompts on this page, browse the outfit and product-photo examples, or open the before-and-after guide for an exact prompt used in the studio. Each example provides a starting point you can adapt to your own photo.
Can I edit photos on my phone?
Yes. Open Spicy Mayo in a modern mobile browser, sign in, and choose Edit image. Upload a supported photo, review the generation settings, and download the result. You can also use the same web account on a tablet or computer.
Does editing use more credits than generating?
For the same model and settings, creation and editing use the same number of credits. Nano Banana Pro uses 50 credits at 2K or 100 at 4K; Nano Banana 2.1 uses 30, 45 or 60 credits at 1K, 2K or 4K. Other image models have their own rates. Generating requires an active subscription and enough credits; check the studio quote before generating.
Will every unchanged detail remain identical?
No. The model creates a new image from your instructions and reference. Faces, lettering, textures, reflections, and proportions can change. Keep the original and compare details carefully; this is not a pixel-exact selection or layer editor.
