Google's AI image tool, nicknamed "Nano Banana," went viral in 2025, generating over 5 billion images in its first month.
Google's AI image generator, officially Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, gained the viral name "Nano Banana" in July 2025 during a late-night coding session when product manager Naina Raisinghani combined her nicknames "Nano" and "Naina Banana" for a temporary codename.

Google embraced the branding with banana-themed visuals and merchandise, and the model evolved into Nano Banana Pro with the release of Gemini 3 Pro Image.
Its rapid rise—over 5 billion images generated in its first month—was fueled by global availability, culturally resonant trends, and the contrast between its advanced capabilities and whimsical identity.
