Dan

Answer

Hello Dan,

Here’s the full list of supported aspect ratios for that model (gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image aka Nano Banana 2 Lite) -

    • 1:1

    • 1:4

    • 4:1

    • 1:8

    • 8:1

    • 2:3

    • 3:2

    • 3:4

    • 4:3

    • 4:5

    • 5:4

    • 9:16

    • 16:9

    • 21:9

I think it’s worth mentioning that those are all of the aspect ratios that the model supports when you are prompting it with code (aka Python).  If you are using Gemini app (gemini.google.com), you might have to go back and forth a few times before it gives you the aspect ratio that you want.  16:9 is the default in Gemini app so you shouldn’t have an issue.


Hope that helps.
