LocalBanana

LocalBanana reframes AI image creation around visual intent. Rather than describing what you want in paragraphs, you supply a reference image and the studio reads the composition, palette and style from it. From there you can remix, combining ideas from your reference with a new direction, or select a region of the canvas and change only that part while the rest stays intact. This makes it practical for cosplay concept design, poster layout, character poses and scene building, where a word-based prompt usually misses the mark.

The platform goes beyond still images. It also produces video and slide-based material in the same workspace, so an idea can move from a mood board to a finished deck without switching apps. A public gallery shows what other creators have made, and each entry doubles as a reference you can pull into your own project. The Academy provides tutorials for people who are new to the reference-first workflow.

Access is credit-based. LocalBanana uses an internal unit called Ghost Points (GP), with monthly subscription tiers that allocate GP and one-off top-up packs that do not expire. Payment runs through Stripe Checkout, and prices are listed in several currencies so you can see a local number before confirming. You need an account to generate, but the gallery and Academy are browsable without one.
