Google launched Nano Banana Pro, an upgrade to their popular model with major improvements in text rendering, composition control, and studio-quality editing.

What's improved from the original Nano Banana:

  • Better text rendering - Nano Banana Pro can generate images with "correctly rendered and legible text directly in the image, whether you're looking for a short tagline, or a long paragraph." The model handles multilingual text generation and translation, making it useful for storyboards, mockups, and international campaigns.

  • Advanced composition control - Supports blending up to 14 images while maintaining consistency and resemblance of up to 5 people. The model can turn sketches into photorealistic products, apply brand styles across mockups, and create complex lifestyle scenes from multiple input elements.

  • Studio-quality editing controls - Includes localized editing with the ability to adjust camera angles, change focus, apply color grading, and transform lighting (day to night, bokeh effects). Outputs at 2K and 4K resolution with multiple aspect ratios.

  • Real-world knowledge integration - Connects to Google Search to generate contextually accurate infographics, educational explainers, recipe visualizations, and real-time information like weather or sports data.

Availability: Free-tier users get limited quotas before reverting to the original Nano Banana. Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers get higher limits. Available in Google Ads, Workspace (Slides, Vids), NotebookLM, and Flow for Ultra subscribers. Developers can access it through Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI.

Freepik is running unlimited Nano Banana Pro generations for a week. The model is also available as a node in ComfyUI.

All generated images include SynthID, Google's imperceptible digital watermark for content verification. Free and Pro tier users see a visible Gemini sparkle watermark, but it's removed for Ultra subscribers and Google AI Studio users.

Pricing: The original Nano Banana cost $0.039 per image. Nano Banana Pro is priced at $0.30 per image for 4K resolution—nearly 8x the cost for higher-resolution output.

Google also released Gemini 3, the underlying foundation model powering Nano Banana Pro's enhanced reasoning, world knowledge, and multilingual capabilities. The new model brings improvements in advanced reasoning and real-time information grounding across Google's AI products.
