Late Thursday night Beijing time, Google's Nano Banana image generation model received a major update – Nano Banana Pro made its dazzling debut!
As background, Google released Nano Banana in late August this year, based on the Gemini 2.5 Flash model. This model can transform portraits or anime photos into lifelike " 3D printed " images. The "collectible figurine" trend quickly gained global popularity. Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that, driven by Nano Banana, the monthly active users of the Gemini app surged from 450 million to 650 million in just one quarter .
With Google releasing its new flagship model this week, Google's image generation model has also seen an expected leap forward.
In Google's words, Nano Banana Pro "turns user ideas into studio-quality designs with unprecedented control, flawless text rendering, and enhanced world knowledge."
According to Google, Nano Banana Pro, based on the Gemini 3 Pro released earlier this week , not only surpasses its predecessor Nano Banana in detail, image resolution, and text rendering accuracy, but also generates text in different styles, fonts, and languages. The new generation image generation model also adds editing features and internet search capabilities.
Google emphasizes that Nano Banana Pro is the best AI model for generating accurate and clearly readable text in images , from short slogans to long paragraphs , and supports richer textures, fonts, and calligraphy. Furthermore, thanks to Gemini's enhanced multilingual inference capabilities, users can generate text in multiple languages or translate and localize content.

Furthermore, based on an internet knowledge base, Nano Banana Pro can transform real-world information into vivid and visual information, such as how to make a cup of cardamom tea.
Google revealed that Nano Banana Pro is also very suitable for creating PowerPoint presentations or infographics , and will be integrated with Google's Workspace office suite.
Josh Woodward, VP of Google Labs and Gemini, explained: " Nano Banana Pro is excellent for creating infographics and slideshows . It can handle up to 14 different images, or 5 different characters, and maintains some consistency among the characters."
For those working in the creative industries, Nano Banana Pro has also significantly upgraded its editing capabilities, directly handing over creative decision-making power to the user.
Google explains that the new editing features support changing camera angles, scene lighting, depth of field, focus, and more, while also allowing adjustment of various aspect ratios and increasing the resolution from 1024x1024 on Nano Banana to a maximum of 4K.
