We've integrated Google's latest Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) model. Enjoy Pro-level image quality at a fraction of the cost, with exclusive new resolutions and ultra aspect ratios.

Local Banana now speaks Russian! The entire UI — homepage, gallery, subscription, profile, FAQ, and more — is now available in Russian. Спасибо to our growing community in Russia and Ukraine.
See something you want to tweak? Don't download, re-upload, or re-prompt from scratch. Just tap edit, type what you want changed, done. Same vibe, better result — all without leaving the canvas.

The Profile page now loads significantly faster. Favorites load instantly from cache, and creations load on demand as you scroll — no more waiting for everything upfront.
We're excited to announce that the LocalBanana iOS app is entering its final testing phase and will be available on the App Store soon. Take the full prompt gallery with you — browse, copy, and create wherever you are.





We've redesigned the LocalBanana homepage with a fresh look. A cleaner layout, better navigation, and a more intuitive first impression for new visitors. Copy. Paste. Create.
To celebrate the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse, we've updated our logo with a special limited edition design featuring festive red colors and traditional elements. Plus, enjoy special Lunar New Year rewards from Feb 15–21! Wishing all our users a prosperous and joyful new year!

Many users find BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) challenging—network restrictions, overseas payment barriers, etc. So while BYOK remains fully supported for free usage, we've designed an alternative: Ghost Points (GP)—a stable, affordable billing system that works without VPN (China users can access and generate directly) and supports local payment methods. Same quality, lower price, zero hassle. Choose subscriptions or top-up packs with up to 50% savings vs official API pricing.

We've launched a comprehensive Documentation Center and Blog to help you master AI image generation. The Docs cover everything from getting started to advanced prompting techniques, film simulation guides, and parameter references. The Blog features in-depth tutorials like "100 Best AI Art Prompts" and "Complete Prompt Engineering Guide". Both are fully localized in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
This update focuses on public beta preparation and user experience upgrades. We've added a new user onboarding system and 3D carousel image display, expanded global payment support (Alipay, WeChat Pay, Kakao Pay), optimized responsive layouts for large screens, and fixed several critical issues.
Ever had this happen? Same content, different scene, and suddenly the colors drift—skin tones go warm then cold, the mood never quite lands. Now there's a new partner in Copilot: the Fuji Color Science Expert. It translates "the feeling you want" into stable, reusable color language—so every generation feels like the same camera, the same film stock.
Now you can zoom in and pan around images to see every detail. Click anywhere on an image to zoom in centered on that point, drag to explore, and scroll to adjust zoom level.
From idea to image — without figuring out prompts. The path used to be long: writing prompts, trial and error, going back and forth between different AI models. Now, we've shortened that path to just one sentence. LocalBanana Copilot is a prompt agent that understands your aesthetic—so you can focus on creating beauty, not studying prompts.

We've upgraded both Wardrobe and Pose. Look Pass saves outfits as reusable "look cards"—swap looks anytime, share/swap with friends, and iterate without re-uploading. Pose Deck ships with 40+ official curated poses across different actions, so you can get the pose you want without thinking up (or writing) complicated prompt hacks. Note: Both features are currently in closed beta and not yet publicly available. Invite codes are required to access.

We've added full Korean prompt support across the platform! Now you can view prompts, AI analysis breakdowns, and suggestions in Korean. We've also made performance improvements: faster image loading, smoother animations, and snappier interactions throughout the app.
Happy New Year! We're giving you a "long-term" gift: Personal Library is now in beta. It's a space just for you—to save, organize, and revisit your favorite prompts and AI creations. Whether you're a "inspiration hoarder" or always losing track of your work, this should help. The feature is in closed beta with limited invite codes. To join, reach out to @LocalGhost97665 on X (Twitter). We've also polished the Creations experience: one-click original download, safe deletion with confirmation, and smoother prompt reading and generation flows. Stay tuned: This beta is laying the groundwork for major updates ahead.

We're excited to announce full Japanese and Korean language support across the entire platform! As our user base continues to grow globally, we're committed to providing the best possible experience for everyone. All interface elements, content, and features now support Japanese and Korean, enabling users to explore, create, and enjoy AI art generation in their preferred language.
We've redesigned the sidebar navigation to make content discovery more intuitive and efficient. The new structure features a clear 'All' view, a 'TOP' section with time-based trending (Today, Week, Month), and a collapsible 'Category' section. The improved layout helps users quickly find what they're looking for, whether it's the latest content, trending items, or specific categories.
We've integrated Alibaba's Z-Image-Turbo model as an alternative image generation provider. Z-Image-Turbo is a lightweight 6B-parameter model that generates photorealistic images with excellent Chinese and English text rendering. With just 8 inference steps, it delivers results comparable to leading commercial models at a fraction of the cost (¥0.1/image). Note: Z-Image currently supports text-to-image only and does not accept reference images.
Tired of losing great prompts or having them scattered across notes? The LocalBanana Extension delivers a "Lightning Capture" and "Local-First" experience. Save instantly with a right-click or smart clipboard detection, complete with automatic source tracking. Organize your creative assets efficiently with collections, tags, and fuzzy search. Most importantly, we maintain a 100% local storage architecture—no internet required, zero privacy leaks. Your prompts belong only to you.

We've completely redesigned the mobile experience with a focus on immersion and elegance. The new design features a sleek bottom navigation bar with a Liquid Glass effect, an immersive full-screen menu overlay with gradient transitions, and a more intuitive browsing experience. The top navigation now scrolls with the content for a seamless feel, and we've optimized the prompt detail sheet for smoother drag interactions.
Over the past update cycle, we focused on improving clarity, performance, and overall consistency across the platform. The updates page has been redesigned with a timeline-based layout to make recent changes easier to scan and follow, alongside smoother navigation between updates and the gallery. We've also refined image loading and caching behavior to reduce unnecessary animations and improve perceived speed, especially when revisiting previously viewed content.
We've introduced an intelligent AI-powered prompt analysis feature that helps users understand and edit prompts more effectively. The system automatically breaks down prompts into structured segments, identifies editable and locked components, and provides contextual explanations for each part. This makes it easier to modify prompts while maintaining their core structure and visual intent.
