Image Edit 2 is Live in AI Pass Image Studio — Here's What's Actually Different
Quick update for anyone using AI Pass Image Studio — the Edit tab just got three new models, and they're a real step up from what was there before.
If you've been using the original Nano Banana for image edits, you'll notice the difference within one prompt.
What's new
The Edit tab now includes:
- Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) — pro-level quality at the same speed as the original Nano Banana
- Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) — the highest-quality option, slower, premium price
- GPT Image 2 — OpenAI's next-gen image-edit model, multi-image capable
All three accept multiple input images, so you can compose a product shot with a separate background, or transfer style from one photo to another in a single prompt.
What each one is actually good at
Nano Banana 2 is the new default for most edits. It costs about $0.067 per image — roughly 50% more than the original — but the prompt-following and detail consistency are noticeably better. If you used to write three prompts to get one good result, you'll often get there in one now.
Nano Banana Pro ($0.134 per image) is for the cases where Nano Banana 2 still trips up. Tiny text inside an image, a brand logo placement that has to be exact, or a complex multi-element scene. If you can tell the difference, use Pro. If you can't, save the money.
GPT Image 2 is the option I'd reach for when the edit involves understanding instructions written in natural language ("change the lighting to feel like late afternoon, but keep the shadow direction"). OpenAI's models still have an edge on language-heavy prompts.
What it costs in real terms
Image Studio runs on the same $1-on-signup credit as the rest of AI Pass. With $1 you get:
- ~25 edits with the standard GPT Image 1
- ~14 edits with Nano Banana 2
- ~7 edits with Nano Banana Pro
No subscription. The credit doesn't expire, and you only pay for what you actually generate.
When to use Edit vs Canvas's Inpaint
If you want to change the whole image — restyle, recolor, add an object somewhere on it — use Image Studio's Edit tab. If you want to change a specific area (replace a coffee cup, remove a person from a group photo), use Canvas's Inpaint — you brush over the area, write the prompt, and only that region gets touched.
Both tools route to the same models. Different UI for different jobs.
