AI giant Google's Nano Banana image generation model has received a major update – Nano Banana Pro has arrived!
As background, Google released Nano Banana, based on the Gemini 2.5 Flash model, at the end of August this year.
Because this model can transform photos of people or anime characters into lifelike "3D printed figurines," it quickly gained global popularity. Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that, driven by Nano Banana, the number of monthly active users of Gemini applications surged from 450 million to 650 million in just one quarter.
With Google's release of its next-generation flagship large language model this week, its image generation model has also received an expected leap forward in upgrades.
In Google's words, Nano Banana Pro can "transform users' ideas into studio-quality designs with unprecedented control, flawless text rendering, and enhanced world knowledge."
According to Google, Nano Banana Pro, based on Gemini 3 Pro released earlier this week, is not only superior to the previous generation Nano Banana in terms of detail, image resolution, and text rendering accuracy, but can also generate text in different styles, fonts, and languages. The new generation image generation model also adds editing functions and incorporates internet search capabilities.
Google emphasizes that Nano Banana Pro is the best AI model for generating correct and clearly readable text in images, whether it's short slogans or long paragraphs, supporting a richer variety of textures, fonts, and calligraphy. At the same time, thanks to Gemini's enhanced multilingual reasoning capabilities, users can generate text in multiple languages, or translate and localize content.
