1. Free Tier: Enough to Play, Not to Mass-Produce
- Users on the free “Gemini / gemini Nano Banana” plan can generate up to 100 images per day.
- That gives casual users plenty of leeway for experimentation: stylized effects, fun edits, trying out prompts, etc., without needing to pay.
2. Pro & Ultra Plans: For Power Users and Content Creators
- Both Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra users can generate up to 1,000 images per day with the Nano banana / image generation models.
- Upgrading unlocks more resources — more prompts, higher context windows — so heavy users can scale up without hitting limits too early.
3. What Counts as “Image Generation / Editing”
- The “image generation & editing” metric includes both creating brand-new images and modifying existing ones (edits) using Nano banana / gemini tools. Some limits are also influenced by other factors (e.g. prompt complexity, file size, how many files or images you upload) — heavier or more complex images/edits may lead to earlier limits.
4. Other Daily Limits & Related Restrictions
- Aside from image count, free users have limited prompts per day (5 prompts for free tier), while Pro gives 100 prompts/day and Ultra gives 500 prompts/day.
- There are also caps on other features like Deep Research reports, audio overviews, and video generation, which may indirectly restrict image-editing workflows if you’re using many features in one day.
5. Why These Limits Matter — What Users Need to Know
- For occasional users: the free plan’s 100 images/day gives lots of flexibility for fun and experimentation.
- For creators, designers, or marketers who produce many assets daily: Pro / Ultra plans are almost essential if you want to scale.
- The limits help google balance server load, manage fairness in usage, and ensure the service remains responsive to everyone.
- Also, since google states these limits may change, heavy users should stay updated through the gemini or google Help Center.
