Introducing Nano Banana 2: High-Speed, High-Quality Image Generation
In the ever-evolving realm of AI-driven image generation, Google DeepMind has once again set a new benchmark with the launch of Nano Banana 2. This cutting-edge model amalgamates the advanced features of Nano Banana Pro with the unprecedented speed of Gemini Flash, offering users a seamless blend of creative power and rapid functionality.
Advanced Features at Unmatched Speeds
Nano Banana 2 is here — and it's already available in Gemini and Google AI Studio.
It integrates comprehensive world knowledge and superior image quality, rendering it not just an upgrade but a leap forward in image technology. With capabilities previously exclusive to the Pro model, including:
Real-World Knowledge: Implementing Gemini's extensive knowledge base coupled with real-time web-sourced data for precise subject depiction.
Text Rendering & Translation: Create accurate text within images for diverse applications, ensuring global reach through efficient translation and localization features — now even sharper and more reliable than before.
Subject Consistency: Maintain identity and fidelity across multiple characters and objects, facilitating cohesive storytelling.
Beyond the core capabilities, Nano Banana 2 ships with a suite of new controls and editing tools:
Reasoning & Reasoning Levels: Fine-tune how deeply the model interprets your prompt, giving you more predictable and intentional outputs.
Output Format Selection: Choose between image-only or combined image + text responses, depending on your workflow.
Doodle Editing: Click directly on a generated image, sketch freehand in any area, add a text prompt, and let the model seamlessly incorporate your changes — bridging hand-drawn intent with AI precision.
Faster Generation Speeds: Reduced wait times across the board, making iteration quicker and creative workflows smoother.
Perhaps most significantly: Nano Banana 2 is considerably more affordable than the Pro model — bringing flagship-level image generation within reach for a much wider range of use cases and budgets.
A Wealth of Creative Control
The new model addresses the artist's need for rapid and precise instruction adherence, enabling the capture of nuanced ideas effortlessly. From photorealistic imagery to vibrant stylistic renderings, Nano Banana 2 delivers:
Vivid Visual Quality: Enhanced lighting, textures, and details at speeds synonymous with Flash, catering to high aesthetic standards.
Full Control of Production Specs: Equip your projects with various aspect ratios and resolutions, optimizing visuals for all formats.
Expanding Across Google's Ecosystem
Today, Nano Banana 2 is being deployed across various Google platforms, enhancing user experience and capabilities in:
Gemini App: Replacing Nano Banana Pro in Fast, Thinking, and Pro models, with Pro users retaining access for specialized needs.
Google Search: Integrated into AI Mode and Lens, broadening availability across 141 countries and supporting eight new languages.
AI Studio & API: Available in preview for testing through AI Studio and the Gemini API, promising innovative integration possibilities.
Provenance and Verification
In a continued commitment to authenticity and traceability, SynthID technology is coupled with C2PA Content Credentials. This approach ensures users receive comprehensive insights on AI-generated media.
As Nano Banana 2 rolls out, its applications span creative industries, advertising, educational visualization, and more, offering unparalleled speed and versatility to creators worldwide.
