Nano Banana aspect ratio options: what it accepts and what it rejects

Nano Banana accepts 5 aspect ratios through the API:

• 16:9
• 9:16
• 1:1
• 4:3
• 3:4

That is the widest set on the platform — every ratio the API supports at all.

It does not affect price

Aspect ratio is free. Nano Banana costs 4 credits ($0.04–$0.06) at any of the ratios above.

Default

Omit aspect_ratio and you get 1:1.

-d '{"model":"nano-banana","prompt":"...","aspect_ratio":"3:4"}'

With a reference image

This is an image-generation model, not an image-to-video model. The adapter passes the first image_inputs URL upstream; it does not crop a reference to the requested output ratio or guarantee reference fidelity. Review the reference-image integration guide and inspect the resulting still at its intended crop.
