How N8N Nano Banana Works
Let me walk you through exactly how N8N Nano Banana works.
This is the basic workflow right here.
If you’re not familiar with Nano Banana, it’s a new update from Google where you can generate really nice images.
It’s a brand new image editing model.
I would honestly say from my tests that N8N Nano Banana is much better than ChatGPT from what I’ve seen so far.
You can edit images and actually create a thumbnail with N8N Nano Banana which is pretty nice.
Essentially how you can use N8N Nano Banana is you can use it inside the chat as an AI agent.
This is a chat message and then from there you can use Open Router’s API.
They have a free version actually for using Nano Banana.
Then once you’ve done that with N8N Nano Banana, you are going to run a request that turns the image to a video.
Let me show you exactly how N8N Nano Banana works step by step.
If you want help with AI automation using N8N Nano Banana, book an AI Discovery Session here.
N8N Nano Banana Step-by-Step Setup
If we go inside N8N Nano Banana and we type in for example “monkey.”
You can see it’s now generating the outputs here.
We’ve typed in for example “monkey” in the chat.
It’s going to edit that with N8N Nano Banana and then turn it into a file.
Really quick process.
We basically put in a chat whatever image you want to generate, for example “monkey.”
That’s going to send a chat completion over to Open Router.
From Open Router, we’re going to edit the fields and take the JSON and then convert that into a file so that we’ve got the output of a monkey.
We’re using N8N Nano Banana for all of this and it’s really easy to use.
Now, if you want to use the API for free on Open Router with N8N Nano Banana, you can go to Open Router and then you can go to models.
You get your model and then the one that you’re going to be using is Google Flash 2.5 image preview free.
This is the free API that you can use to generate images for free inside N8N Nano Banana.
If you actually host locally on N8N as well, then N8N Nano Banana is completely free too.

How to Get the N8N Nano Banana Free API Key
Essentially, this is how you use N8N Nano Banana step by step.
If you want to get the API key, let me show you exactly how this works.
We’re using the model in Gemini 2.5 flash image preview.
Now, if you want to use the free one for N8N Nano Banana, all you would do is you copy this.
The reason that I’m not using the free one on this example is just because sometimes when it’s just been released and this is brand new stuff, when you’re using the new stuff, it can fail on you a little bit.
But let’s try this out.
So we’re using the free version of Google Gemini 2.5 flash image with Open Router and it’s generated the image.
Beautiful.
That is beautiful.
Word first time on a live stream.
I love that.
So the way you’re going to get access to this N8N Nano Banana template, you go to the AI Money Lab link in the comments description.
It’s inside the free group.
Then you’re going to go to classroom, new AI automations, Google Nano Banana free.
Then you’ve got the images and the image to video example.
If you want to generate just images on their own with N8N Nano Banana, click download.
Go over to N8N, import from file, upload the JSON file.
Boom.
There you go.
Ready to go.

Building N8N Nano Banana From Scratch
If you want to use the free API with N8N Nano Banana, you can just use the free API version.
That’s basically how you can turn N8N Nano Banana into a free image generation tool that’s really powerful that can just generate images for you on command.
Now bear in mind, if you were using ChatGPT’s image generation API, it would be crazy expensive, it’s going to be super slow, and super annoying.
Whereas you can use the free version with Open Router for N8N Nano Banana, you just plug in your details.
Now let me talk you through exactly how to set up N8N Nano Banana.
If you wanted to set this up from scratch, if you want to build N8N Nano Banana from scratch.
First thing that you’re going to do is you would set up a new chat trigger.
Add node and you would add a chat trigger for N8N Nano Banana.
Then you’re going to set up an HTTP request and this is going to change this to POST.
So what this does essentially is it goes over to Open Router.
In this POST request we’re using this API – it’s Open Router API chat completions.
Predefined credential type, credential type is Open Router.
Then inside the credential type you go to edit and you plug in your API key here.

Getting Your N8N Nano Banana API Key
Now if you don’t know how to get your API key for N8N Nano Banana, here’s what you’re going to do.
You’re going to go over to Open Router, then you’re going to go to keys.
Inside keys, create API key.
You just go and you plug that in directly here.
You just paste your API key in for N8N Nano Banana.
Then what you can see here is we are sending the body.
We’re sending this body JSON type.
So you click send body, send body JSON using JSON.
If you want to know what the code is that we’re using here for N8N Nano Banana, essentially we got the model as flash image preview free, messages, role user.
You can just copy and paste that or just use the template that I’ve given you.
But essentially the most important thing to note here is that inside the text input here we are inputting our text so that we can tell the N8N Nano Banana image generator what we want.
Just to be clear here, we’ve got a chat message that goes to POST HTTPS request over to Open Router.
From there we are going to edit the fields.
Now you might be wondering, why would you edit the fields with N8N Nano Banana?
What’s the point of this?
This edit fields section here allows you to map manually the different parts of the JSON code.
You can see here we’ve got the data string.
If I show you an example live for N8N Nano Banana, so if we type in “cat eating banana.”
That’s going to run the HTTPS request using the Open Router and then it’s going to edit the fields.

How N8N Nano Banana Converts Images
If we open this up, it’s now taken all of the data, all of this messy data and just organized it into a nice stream with N8N Nano Banana.
But the main thing to note here is that what it’s actually going to do is it’s going to take all of this base data and then it’s going to turn it into an image that you can download.
If we go over to convert to file in N8N Nano Banana, what this is doing is it’s taking that image data.
If we click on show data, it’s taking that field mapping.
We’re going to click operation move base 64 string to file, base image as the output.
That basically turns this into a downloadable image with N8N Nano Banana.
If we go to view, we can see our cat eating a banana.
It’s pretty realistic.
Pretty good.
I’m actually going to show you some interesting ways to prompt N8N Nano Banana in a second that blew my mind earlier today.
But essentially, inside the edit field section, you can create that image and then if you want to view it, you can.
If you want to go back to the list and then download it with N8N Nano Banana, you can.
You can see this image.
Really cool stuff.
So that’s essentially how you can do N8N Nano Banana.
Now that’s a really basic workflow, but it works beautifully.
Also if you don’t want to go through the whole process again with N8N Nano Banana, if you want to tweak stuff, what you can do is pin each of the modules here.
If you click save here, this is all pinned information.
Then if you want to get the JSON file, like I said, go to the AI Money Lab, go to classroom, new automations, new Google Nano Banana.

N8N Nano Banana vs ChatGPT Image Generation
The other thing I want to show you about N8N Nano Banana is how it compares to ChatGPT.
Using the custom GPT that I’ve built for N8N Nano Banana, this is inside the AI Profit Boardroom.
If you want to use this custom GPT that I’ve built, essentially what this does is it’s an image prompter for Nano Banana.
If you want to get better quality prompts for N8N Nano Banana, you can go inside here.
This is custom prompted on Google’s guidelines for generating responses with Nano Banana.
Then from here you can start generating responses with N8N Nano Banana.
For example you could say “give me an image of a cat playing basketball with a gang of dogs.”
Using this image prompter for N8N Nano Banana, it’s going to give us the subject, the composition, the action, the location.
That’s a much better quality prompt for generating responses with N8N Nano Banana.
For example, if we take this, it’s going to have all the details of the context, the style, the editing instructions, and then it’s going to have a final prompt.
So if we take this information, then we’re going to go over to Google Gemini, plug this in, enter, we’ll get a much better output than using just a one-word prompt with N8N Nano Banana.
It depends on the quality of the prompts that you want with N8N Nano Banana.
But you could easily add this into your workflow and then generate better quality prompts as you’re going along.
Want to automate your business with N8N Nano Banana? The AI Profit Boardroom shows you how.
Comparing N8N Nano Banana Speed to ChatGPT
Here we go.
That’s the image generated with N8N Nano Banana.
That was super cool, super easy, and simple to generate.
We’ve got a cat playing against all these gangster dogs, whole crowd in the background looking at stuff and some squirrels at the top.
The attention to detail is pretty cool too with N8N Nano Banana.
But it’s much better and much faster than using something like ChatGPT.
The other benefit of using Gemini Nano Banana is that when you’re actually using this, you can edit the background and that sort of thing.
For example, if we wanted to say “make the cat look way more ghetto and gangster,” then we can actually just edit different parts of the image like an AI version of Photoshop if that makes sense.
Now if we use exactly the same prompt inside ChatGPT, I mean honestly it’s super slow.
If we go inside ChatGPT, I’m actually dreading using this right now.
So I’m going to say “create an image of this” and then if we go to Gemini, we’ll compare these side by side.
I’m going to pull up ChatGPT and we’re going to compare this versus Gemini with N8N Nano Banana.
We’re going to plug this in and we’re going to use ChatGPT to generate a response as well.
Let’s see who wins.
I know for almost a fact that Gemini Flash images with N8N Nano Banana is going to generate a much quicker and better response than using ChatGPT.
You can see we’ve already got the image back from N8N Nano Banana, which looks pretty good.
If we have a look at the image from ChatGPT, it’s just getting started.
It literally takes 10 times longer.
If you have this in your workflows, then your productivity is going to get absolutely smashed.
The reason for that is because you’re waiting 10 times longer, if not maybe 50 times longer, for the same image to be generated at lower quality.
Let alone if you have any image edits that you need to change on the image with N8N Nano Banana.
If we’re using this, I can quickly whilst it’s still generating say “make the cat a green alien.”
Whilst ChatGPT is still messing around generating, I think we can even make edits quicker with Gemini and N8N Nano Banana.
We’ve actually generated two images with edits in the space of time it took to get the image back from ChatGPT.
It’s just ridiculous with N8N Nano Banana.

N8N Nano Banana Image Quality Comparison
If we have a look at these images side by side, this one from ChatGPT is more photorealistic, but it just looks a lot weirder.
What’s going on with that dog’s arm over here?
Whereas if we look at this image from N8N Nano Banana, there’s a lot more detail.
Like I was saying, it looks a lot cooler, it’s a lot more interesting.
I would say this one from N8N Nano Banana is going to capture attention more.
If we’ve got the gangster cat, we’ve got the cat, we’ve got the alien, you can build really cool stuff with Gemini Banana and N8N Nano Banana.
It’s way faster and way easier.
For using images, like I was saying, I use Nano Banana with N8N.
I think N8N Nano Banana is way better than ChatGPT image creator.

N8N Nano Banana JSON Presets for Better Images
Before we finish, I want to show you something else that’s absolutely amazing about N8N Nano Banana.
I’ve actually linked to Machina inside the free module of the AI Success Lab, but this blew me away.
Essentially what you can use inside Gemini if you’re creating better prompts and you can put this inside your N8N Nano Banana workflow if you want to, is you can take these prompts and use them as presets for logos, ads, that sort of thing.
There’s 20 different JSON templates inside here for N8N Nano Banana.
I’m actually going to put this inside the description of the video from today as well.
If you want to generate a really cool output with N8N Nano Banana, let me show you some examples.
If you wanted to generate a game style image with N8N Nano Banana, you can actually take this JSON prompt and you can plug that into Gemini Nano Banana when you’re creating the outputs.
For example, if we take this, we’re going to copy that JSON.
We’re going to plug it into Gemini with N8N Nano Banana.
We’re going to switch tools to images.
Then we’re going to say “create a zombie apocalypse image.”
That’s going to start generating the image, but it’s going to be using the JSON that we’re filtering it through, which means that we get much better responses from N8N Nano Banana because it’s stylized to that custom code we’ve plugged in.
That means you got a custom preset if you want consistent outputs with N8N Nano Banana.
You see how this has created an image in a game style?
It looks way more interesting.
You can generate beautiful images using these presets with N8N Nano Banana and they look really cool.
