FAQPage Schema
How do I generate images from text prompts using the Gemini 2.5 API?▼

To generate images from text prompts using the Gemini 2.5 API, provide a text prompt to the model. The tool uses the google-generativeai SDK to process the request and outputs standard image files decoded from Base64 data.

Can I edit existing images by combining them with text prompts in Gemini 2.5?▼

Yes, you can edit existing images in Gemini 2.5 by supplying optional input images alongside a text prompt. This image fusion workflow updates your visuals based on the prompt instructions.

Do I need a GEMINI_API_KEY to use this image generation tool?▼

Yes, you need a GEMINI_API_KEY set in your environment to use this image generation tool. The key is required by the google-generativeai SDK to authenticate and send requests to the Gemini 2.5 flash-image model.

What is the best way to handle Base64 image data returned by the Gemini API?▼

The best way to handle Base64 image data from the Gemini API is automatic Base64 decoding. This tool decodes the Base64-encoded image data from API responses directly into standard image files for saving and sharing.

How does text-to-image generation with Gemini 2.5 compare to other image editing tools?▼

Text-to-image generation with Gemini 2.5 removes manual design bottlenecks by interfacing directly with the flash-image model. Unlike traditional design tools, it rapidly creates or modifies visuals entirely through prompt-based API integration.

What are the limitations of using prompt-based image editing with the Gemini 2.5 flash-image model?▼

A limitation of prompt-based image editing with the Gemini 2.5 flash-image model is its dependency on external environment configuration. Users must configure the GEMINI_API_KEY and rely on the google-generativeai SDK for request handling.
