AI Image Editing: Transform Your Photos with Nano Banana

What Is AI Image Editing?

AI image editing uses machine learning models to transform, enhance, and manipulate images based on natural language instructions. Unlike traditional photo editing tools that require manual adjustments, AI editors understand your intent from a text description and apply complex edits automatically.

With AI image editing, you can change backgrounds, alter styles, modify objects, and enhance quality — all from a simple text prompt.

Nano Banana

Nano Banana Pro

API Usage Example

Here's how to edit an image using the PixelByte API:

Using curl

  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "nano-banana-pro",
    "input": {
      "prompt": "Replace the background with a tropical beach at sunset, keep the subject unchanged",
      "imageUrl": "https://your-storage.com/photos/portrait.jpg",
      "width": 1024,
      "height": 1024
    }
  }'

Using Python

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.pixelbyte.app/v1/jobs/submit",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={
        "model": "nano-banana-pro",
        "input": {
            "prompt": "Change the style to studio ghibli anime, keep the composition",
            "imageUrl": "https://your-storage.com/photos/landscape.jpg",
            "width": 1024,
            "height": 1024
        }
    }
)

job = response.json()
print(f"Edit job created: {job['id']}")

Tips for Better Results

Getting the best results from AI image editing comes down to prompt quality. Here are some tips:

• Be specific: Instead of "make it look better", try "increase contrast, add warm golden lighting, sharpen the subject"
• Describe what to keep: Mention elements you want preserved — "keep the subject's face unchanged"
• Reference styles: Use specific art styles or references — "studio ghibli style" or "cinematic color grading like Blade Runner"
• Iterate: Start with a basic edit and refine with follow-up requests
• Use high-quality inputs: Better input images lead to better edited outputs
