Google has unveiled the Nano Banana Pro, a sophisticated image generation and editing model that builds upon the foundations laid by the earlier Nano Banana model. This upgraded version, powered by Gemini 3 Pro, is designed to enhance user experience by integrating reasoning with real-world knowledge, resulting in improved and more precise visual outputs. One of the standout features of Nano Banana Pro is its ability to generate visuals from a variety of inputs including ideas, notes, and real-time information. The model is also capable of accessing Google Search's extensive knowledge base, providing users with accurate contextual information.
More than just an image creation tool, Nano Banana Pro aims to assist users in creating practical content such as infographics, diagrams, recipes, and snapshots. According to Google, the model's enhanced capabilities include superior rendering of text within images, achieving greater accuracy and readability across several languages. This advancement includes better handling of longer texts, stylized fonts, and localized content.
Additionally, the model boasts improved consistency when combining multiple elements, allowing for the integration of up to 14 images collectively while maintaining the likeness of up to five individuals. This feature is vital for professionals looking to craft cohesive visual narratives. The upgraded system also comes with new user controls for adjustments in localized editing, camera angles, lighting, and depth of field, giving creators more creative freedom.
When it comes to exporting images, users can choose from various aspect ratios and resolutions, including options for 2K and 4K outputs. Google plans to incorporate Nano Banana Pro into a range of its products, including consumer and professional platforms. In the Gemini application, users can find this model under the 'Thinking' option. Limited access will be provided to free-tier users, while AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers will enjoy expanded quotas for their projects. In the United States, Search's AI Mode will offer the model to Google AI Pro and Ultra users.
Professionals may find the integration of Nano Banana Pro into Google Ads, Slides, Vids, and Flow for filmmaking particularly beneficial. Additionally, developers will have access through tools such as the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, Antigravity, and Vertex AI.
To support accountability and transparency regarding AI-generated content, Google is introducing new verification methods. All images produced using Google tools will continue to include SynthID watermarking. Users can also upload images to the Gemini app to ascertain if the visuals were generated by Google AI, based on specific SynthID signals. Free-tier and Pro-tier images will carry a visible Gemini watermark, which will be removed for Ultra subscribers and Google AI Studio developers.
Google underscores the importance of transparency with AI-generated content, stating, "We believe it’s critical to know when an image is AI-generated." The Nano Banana Pro model thus marks a significant advancement in the capabilities of image creation and editing in the digital landscape.
