The update aims to deliver studio-quality visuals while enabling faster image generation and editing workflows across Google’s ecosystem.

Intelligence and Visual Quality at Flash Speed

Nano Banana 2 integrates Gemini’s advanced reasoning capabilities directly into high-speed visual generation. This enables quicker iterations and more accurate image outputs without compromising quality.

Key enhancements include:

Advanced World Knowledge

The model leverages Gemini’s real-world knowledge base and incorporates real-time information and images from web search. This enables more accurate rendering of specific subjects and supports use cases such as:

  • Creating infographics
  • Turning notes into diagrams
  • Generating data visualizations

Precision Text Rendering and Translation

Nano Banana 2 improves text accuracy inside images. Users can generate clean, legible text for marketing materials, greeting cards, and mockups. The model also supports in-image translation and localization for global content sharing.

Enhanced Creative Control and Visual Fidelity

Google has significantly narrowed the gap between speed and image fidelity with Nano Banana 2.

Subject Consistency

The model can maintain character resemblance for up to five characters and preserve fidelity for up to 14 objects within a single workflow. This makes it suitable for storyboarding and narrative-driven visual projects.

Improved Instruction Following

Nano Banana 2 adheres more precisely to complex prompts, capturing detailed nuances in user requests.

Production-Ready Output

Users can generate assets in multiple aspect ratios and resolutions ranging from 512px to 4K. This ensures flexibility for social media posts, advertising creatives, or widescreen backdrops.

Visual Quality Upgrade

The new model delivers sharper details, improved textures, and enhanced lighting effects while maintaining Flash-level speed.

Strengthened AI Content Verification

Google continues to enhance AI content transparency through its SynthID technology and C2PA Content Credentials integration. The company reports that SynthID verification in the Gemini app has already been used more than 20 million times since launch.

C2PA verification support is expected to arrive soon in the Gemini app, providing additional clarity around AI-generated media.

A Balanced Tool for Every Workflow

With Nano Banana 2, Google offers two complementary solutions:

  • Nano Banana Pro for high-fidelity, maximum accuracy tasks
  • Nano Banana 2 for fast generation, strong instruction adherence, and integrated search grounding

The launch reflects Google’s broader push to make advanced AI image generation more accessible while maintaining professional-grade quality.
