What is the difference between Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3 Pro Edit?

The first creates images from text alone. The edit version starts from an image you upload and changes it according to your instruction.

Will it keep a person's face the same?

It is designed to preserve the rest of the image, and faces usually stay close to the source when the prompt asks for identity to remain unchanged. Check results closely, especially after large scene changes.

Is it worth the cost over Nano Banana 2 Edit?

For final-quality retouching and detail-sensitive subjects, yes. For fast iterations, face-consistency loops and multi-reference work, the cheaper Nano Banana 2 Edit is the better first stop.

Can I call it through the API?

Yes. Pass the source image URL and your instruction through the Klingobanana API with this model id, and the edited image URL is returned when the job completes.

How many credits does Gemini 3 Pro Edit cost?

One image costs 5 credits on Klingobanana. The price table on this page lists every supported length.

Can I use reference images with Gemini 3 Pro Edit?

Yes, it accepts up to 1 reference image.

Do I need a subscription?

Yes. There is no free tier; credits come from a subscription plan or a top-up.

What Gemini 3 Pro Edit is good at

Gemini 3 Pro Edit is the reference-driven side of Google's premium image model. You supply a photo and an instruction, and it returns a revised picture in which the parts you did not mention stay recognisably the same. It carries the detail level of the text-to-image Gemini 3 Pro, so faces, fabrics and surfaces hold up better than on lighter editors.

It is priced like its text-to-image sibling, so it makes most sense for edits that matter: a retouch you will publish, a character still you will animate, a product placed in a new scene for an ad. For quick experiments, a cheaper editor is a better use of credits.

Ideal use cases

Retouching a keeper. Fix lighting, remove distractions, change a background or colour grade on an image that is almost right, without regenerating the whole thing.
New scene, same subject. Place the person or product from your reference into a different location or style, then check that identity and proportions survive.
Character stills for video. Make a set of consistent stills of one character in different settings and use them as first frames for image-to-video.

Limits to know about

It works from a single reference image on Klingobanana, so combining two separate sources in one frame is better done with Nano Banana 2 Edit.
The reference photo caps the quality of the result: low-resolution or poorly lit uploads limit what the edit can do.
Premium pricing means long trial-and-error sessions are better run on a cheaper editor first.

Example prompts for Gemini 3 Pro Edit

Relight a room

Make this living room look like late afternoon with warm low sunlight coming through the left window. Keep every object and the furniture layout exactly as they are.

Why it works. Changing only the light while locking the layout shows what an editor does better than a regenerate.

Move a product

Place the sneaker from this photo on a mossy rock beside a forest stream, daylight, shallow depth of field. Keep the sneaker's shape, colour and laces unchanged.

Why it works. The prompt separates the part to preserve (the sneaker) from the part to invent (the setting).

Era shift for a portrait

Restyle this portrait as a 1970s film photograph: warm faded colours, soft grain, slightly lifted blacks. Keep the same person, pose and expression.

Why it works. A style change with explicit identity protection. Describing the look in photographic terms works better than naming a decade alone.

Settings and what costs more

One image costs 5 credits, the highest price among the image models.
Prompt length and aspect ratio do not change the price, so spend your effort on the prompt rather than on shaving words.
Upload the highest-quality version of your reference. The model cannot add detail the source never had.
Match the output aspect ratio to the source unless you intend to recompose. Changing it can cut the subject off.
Run one change per generation. Stack edits over several passes so you can step back if one goes wrong.
