What this comparison is allowed to claim

Section 1 of this review is about one source photo reused for two social crops. The comparison is with designing both crops in a layout tool. Generate the square first. Use that accepted image as the reference for the vertical crop so the product does not get reinvented. The fixed limit, which this article will not soften, is: Small text in the image often breaks. Put the price and the legal line in the social caption, not inside the generated picture, unless you check every character. Keep the product and any offer text you typed yourself. Change the crop and the empty space for a caption. The pass/fail line for this section is whether the offer text is either absent or spelled exactly.

Open https://nanobananalite.pro/create only after that line is written down. The image workspace embedded on this article is the same browser tool. Typing a prompt here does not create a file and does not spend a credit. Generation spends a credit, and a failed image still spent it. Nano Banana Lite does not offer a public API or an API key for this workflow. If designing both crops in a layout tool can meet a requirement this edit cannot, use that option instead of prompting again. For one source photo reused for two social crops, a useful second attempt changes one instruction. Repeating the same sentence is not a review, it is a spend. Save the prompt, the date, and the reason you accepted or rejected the image. That record is the evidence. A prettier thumbnail is not.

Practical pass for one source photo reused for two social crops: the source is a photo you are allowed to edit, the output still shows the product and any offer text you typed yourself, and the only intentional difference is the crop and the empty space for a caption. Reject the output when the offer text is either absent or spelled exactly fails, when new objects appear, or when small text is invented. Pricing and the remaining credits are on https://nanobananalite.pro/pricing. The background-edit limit is also stated on https://nanobananalite.pro/remove-background: an AI edit, not a guaranteed transparent PNG. The prompt template on https://nanobananalite.pro/image-to-prompt covers subject, composition, lighting, color, style, and camera. Use those pages as the product contract. Do not add a benchmark this site has not published.

  • Subject: one source photo reused for two social crops.

  • Stop if: the offer text is either absent or spelled exactly is false.
