Show HN: Nano PDF – A CLI Tool to Edit PDFs with Gemini's Nano Banana
The new Gemini 3 Pro Image model (aka Nano Banana) is incredible at generating slides, so I thought it would be fun to build a CLI tool that lets you edit PDF presentations using plain English. The tool converts the page you want to edit into an image, sends it to the model API together with your prompt to generate an edited image, then converts the updated image back and stitches into the original document.
Examples:
- `nano-pdf edit deck.pdf 5 "Update the revenue chart to show Q3 at $2.5M"`
- `nano-pdf add deck.pdf 15 "Create an executive summary slide with 5 bullet points"`
Features:
- Edit multiple pages in parallel
- Add entirely new slides that match your deck's style
- Google Search enabled by default so the model can look up current data
- Preserves text layer for copy/paste and search
It can work with any kind of PDF but I expect it would be most useful for a quick edit to a deck or something similar.

Show HN: I built Magiclip – an all-in-one AI studio
Hi HN
I’ve been working on a tool I personally needed as someone who edits a lot of video content.
The problem is simple:
Modern video editing requires 8+ different tools, all slow, all noisy, all repetitive.
Subtitles here. Audio cleanup there. Silence removal elsewhere. Upscaling in another tool. AI voice in a different one. A clip extractor somewhere else…
So I built Magiclip.io — a single interface that automates the most boring parts of editing.
What it does today
Auto-subtitles (fast & accurate)
Silence removal
AI voice-over
Audio enhancement
Image upscaling
Clip extraction from long videos
Thumbnail generation
Quick TikTok/Reels format conversion
And more coming
The idea isn’t to replace full editors. It’s to remove the friction of things we repeat 100 times.
Upload → Magic → Download. No timeline, no project files, no complexity.
Why I built it
I edit content frequently, and the workflow felt unnecessarily painful. Magiclip is my attempt to reduce editing from hours to seconds by batching the most common tasks behind simple endpoints.
What I’d love feedback on
What other tasks should be automated?
Anything in the UX that feels off or slow?
Any feature you’d want exposed through an API?
