All eligible U.S. users can now use Gemini’s personalized image generation at no charge, expanding a tool that had been limited to Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers.
Nano Banana powers the feature by using Gemini’s understanding of a user’s preferences, drawing on connected Google services such as Gmail, Photos, YouTube and Search to create images with less detailed prompting.
Google Photos can also supply actual images of the user, while Personal Intelligence remains opt-in and can be limited or switched off through a new Tools-menu toggle.
Personal Intelligence was rolled out broadly in the U.S. in March and has since expanded to India and Japan, as Google adds features like Daily Brief, Gemini Omni and Gemini Spark.
750 million monthly active users earlier this year underscored Gemini’s scale as Google pushes wider consumer adoption in AI.
