Website<ref>Gemini Nano Banana users report 1:1 aspect ratio lock on image generation https://piunikaweb.com/2025/09/11/gemini-image-generator-aspect-ratio-problems/</ref> mentions that a Google Product Expert acknowledged this issue in official forums, describing it as a "known limitation." However, no timeline has been provided for when the functionality might be restored.<ref>What happened to imagegen quality?? - Gemini Apps Community https://support.google.com/gemini/thread/372012804?hl=en&msgid=372013964</ref>
I've personally tested both Gemini 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash models, and both have the same problem. If you can make API calls, you might try using the API to call other models.
If you want an online solution that works, you can try Google Whisk directly: https://labs.google/fx/tools/whisk/
The interface allows you to directly set three aspect ratios: square 1:1, portrait 9:16, and landscape 16:9.
