Gemini 3 Pro Image is a text-to-image model that generates images from text descriptions.
The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.
npm install --save @fal-ai/clientThe @fal-ai/serverless-client package has been deprecated in favor of @fal-ai/client. Install the new package and update your imports — see client setup.
Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.
export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"The client API handles the API submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/nano-banana-pro", {
input: {
prompt: "An action shot of a black lab swimming in an inground suburban swimming pool. The camera is placed meticulously on the water line, dividing the image in half, revealing both the dogs head above water holding a tennis ball in it's mouth, and it's paws paddling underwater."
},
logs: true,
onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
}
},
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
fal.config({
credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});When running code on the client-side (e.g. in a browser, mobile app or GUI applications), make sure to not expose your FAL_KEY. Instead, use a server-side proxy to make requests to the API. For more information, check out our server-side integration guide.
The client API provides a convenient way to submit requests to the model.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("fal-ai/nano-banana-pro", {
input: {
prompt: "An action shot of a black lab swimming in an inground suburban swimming pool. The camera is placed meticulously on the water line, dividing the image in half, revealing both the dogs head above water holding a tennis ball in it's mouth, and it's paws paddling underwater."
},
webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});You can fetch the status of a request to check if it is completed or still in progress.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const status = await fal.queue.status("fal-ai/nano-banana-pro", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
logs: true,
});Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result. See the Output Schema for the expected result format.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.queue.result("fal-ai/nano-banana-pro", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);Some attributes in the API accept file URLs as input. Whenever that's the case you can pass your own URL or a Base64 data URI.
You can pass a Base64 data URI as a file input. The API will handle the file decoding for you. Keep in mind that for large files, this alternative although convenient can impact the request performance.
You can also pass your own URLs as long as they are publicly accessible. Be aware that some hosts might block cross-site requests, rate-limit, or consider the request as a bot.
We provide a convenient file storage that allows you to upload files and use them in your requests. You can upload files using the client API and use the returned URL in your requests.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const file = new File(["Hello, World!"], "hello.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const url = await fal.storage.upload(file);The client will auto-upload the file for you if you pass a binary object (e.g. File, Data).
Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.

Possible enum values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Note: This property is only available through API calls.
sync_mode booleanIf True, the media will be returned as a data URI and the output data won't be available in the request history.
system_prompt stringOptional system instruction that steers the model's persona and output style across the request. Leave blank to omit; when provided, it is sent as the system instruction to Gemini (or as a system message on OpenAI-compatible providers). Default value: ""

Possible enum values: 1K, 2K, 4K
limit_generations booleanExperimental parameter to limit the number of generations from each round of prompting to 1. Set to True to to disregard any instructions in the prompt regarding the number of images to generate. Default value: true
enable_web_search booleanEnable web search for the image generation task. This will allow the model to use the latest information from the web to generate the image.
