Overview

What is Nano Banana 2?

Nano Banana 2 is the community name for the Gemini 3.1 Flash Image model. It shares its backbone with Nano Banana Pro, but where Pro is tuned for maximum quality, Nano Banana 2 is tuned for speed — lower latency and cost while approaching Pro-level results. It's now the default image model in the Gemini app, with Pro kept for the most demanding high-fidelity work.

It does text-to-image, image-to-image, and instruction-based editing: describe a change in plain language — remove this, replace that, restyle the whole thing — and it applies the edit while keeping the rest of the composition intact, no masks or layers. Text rendering works across languages and formats, and multi-image fusion can combine up to 5 characters and 14 objects in one workflow. Output is native 1K, 2K and 4K, with 4K producing print-ready images whose text stays legible.

This page drives Nano Banana 2 directly, one prompt per image. The full Story Into Video pipeline uses engines like this behind the scenes — describe your story once and it plans, generates and chains every shot into a finished video. Use this page when you want Nano Banana 2 on its own; use the full flow when you want a complete narrated video.

What people use Nano Banana 2 for

Three flows where speed plus clean text and editing pay off.

Rapid photoreal iterations from one prompt
Use case·01 / 03

Fast iteration at near-Pro quality

When you're exploring a look and want many shots quickly, Nano Banana 2's lower latency lets you iterate fast without dropping to a visibly weaker model. Lock the direction here, then push the final pick to Pro only if a shot truly needs the extra fidelity.

Instruction-based edit changing one region of a photo
Use case·02 / 03

Natural-language photo editing

Point at any part of an image in plain language — 'swap the product', 'change the lighting to dusk', 'redraw the sign' — and Nano Banana 2 applies it while leaving the rest untouched. No masks, no layers; the composition survives the edit.

Product shot with crisp legible in-image text at 4K
Use case·03 / 03

Text-in-image and product shots

Signage, packaging labels, poster copy — Nano Banana 2 renders text that stays legible, and 4K output is clean enough to print. Multi-image fusion also lets you assemble a scene from several product or character references at once.

Workflow

How it works

Three steps from idea to shareable clip — no editor, no plugins.

01 · Write

Write one prompt

Describe the shot in plain language. Include subject, action, lighting and camera move. The longer the better — modern models reward detail.

02 · Pick

Pick mode + duration

Switch between Text, Image-to-Video, or First / Last frame. Pick the resolution and length you want — the price updates live as you choose.

03 · Generate

Generate, download, iterate

Hit Generate and your clip lands in the library within minutes. Save it, tweak the prompt and run it again, or turn the same idea into a full narrated story video in the Story Into Video workflow.

Story Into Video

Use the Nano Banana 2 image generator inside Story Into Video

On this page each click produces one Nano Banana 2 image — good for a product shot, an edited photo, or a single story frame. For one image that's often all you need, and the speed makes exploring variations quick.

A full story is more than one image. Prototype the look here, then take the same idea into the complete workflow — describe your story, pick a style, and the pipeline locks your characters across scenes and generates every shot with narration and subtitles. Generation is asynchronous and a full story takes several minutes, so start it and come back.

Nano Banana 2 FAQ

Nano Banana 2 vs Nano Banana Pro — which should I pick?+
Both are built on Gemini 3.1 Flash Image. Nano Banana 2 is tuned for speed — lower latency and cost, quality close to Pro — and is the default in the Gemini app. Pro is tuned for maximum fidelity. Use 2 for fast iteration and most everyday work; reach for Pro when a shot genuinely needs the top quality tier.
Can I edit an existing image with plain language?+
Yes. Describe the change — remove an object, replace a product, restyle the scene, fix the text — and Nano Banana 2 applies it while keeping the rest of the composition intact. No masks or layers required.
How good is the text rendering?+
Strong across languages and formats, and it holds up at 4K — clean enough for print-ready signage, packaging or poster copy. This is one of the model's signature strengths.
What resolutions does it output?+
Native 1K, 2K and 4K. Higher resolutions cost more per image; the exact cost always shows on the generate button before you commit.
Can it combine multiple reference images?+
Yes — multi-image fusion can bring together up to 5 characters and 14 objects in one workflow, so you can assemble a scene from several references while keeping each element recognisable.
