Google elevates image generation with Nano Banana Pro

Google has introduced Nano Banana Pro, a high‑fidelity image generation and editing model built on Gemini 3 Pro Image, offering sharper visuals, accurate multilingual text rendering and expanded creative controls within a suite of Google tools.

What We Know

Google unveiled Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) on November 20, 2025, as an evolution of its earlier Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) model, now powered by the reasoning capabilities of Gemini 3 Pro. The model delivers precise, context‑rich visuals, accurate text in multiple languages, and real‑time data grounding via integration with Search. It supports high fidelity creative editing—such as localized edits, camera angles, color grading, lighting shifts and 2K to 4K output across varied aspect ratios—and can blend up to 14 images while preserving likeness across up to five subjects. Generated content includes imperceptible SynthID watermarks and visible watermarks for most users, with professional users on the Ultra tier exempt from visible markers. Nano Banana Pro is being rolled out across the Gemini app, Google Ads, Workspace tools like Slides and Vids, NotebookLM, Flow, Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, Vertex AI, and Antigravity. Free‑tier users access limited quotas, while subscribers to Plus, Pro, or Ultra receive higher usage allowances.

What It Means

Nano Banana Pro marks a pivot toward studio‑quality AI imagery embedded directly into everyday Google applications. The integration across consumer, professional and developer tools signals Google’s push to make AI‑enhanced visual production ubiquitous—from marketing materials to educational visuals. The addition of advanced watermarking through SynthID reinforces Google's bid to promote authenticity and traceability in AI‑generated media.

The Backstory

Nano Banana evolved from the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model, which launched in August 2025 and quickly gained viral popularity for its eye‑catching, photorealistic “3D figurines.” Nano Banana Pro builds on that momentum by adding depth, layout control, resolution upgrades and real‑world grounding.

What’s Next

Google plans further expansion of Nano Banana Pro into additional workflows and enterprise environments. The company indicated upcoming availability across more API‑driven services and third‑party platforms, and broader rollout within consumer products like Google Photos in the coming weeks.
