Request notes

Gemini image models use native contents and generationConfig; edits send the text instruction and inline_data in the same parts[].

Request parameters

Gemini image models use native Gemini generateContent. Put text and reference images in the same contents[].parts[]; images use inline_data. Do not send these models to /v1/images/generations, /v1/images/edits, or OpenAI /v1/responses.

Field	Required	Notes
contents[].parts[].text	Yes	Text prompt or edit instruction
contents[].parts[].inline_data	No	Base64 image data and MIME type
generationConfig.responseModalities	Yes	["IMAGE"] or ["TEXT", "IMAGE"]
generationConfig.imageConfig.aspectRatio	No	1:1 / 4:3 / 3:4 / 16:9 / 9:16

Response and input limits
