Nano Banana Pro arrives as the professional version of Google's image model, designed so anyone — from students to creatives and teams — can turn ideas into precise, useful images. Need a diagram, a storyboard, or an image with legible text in multiple languages? This promises to make that easier and with better quality.
What is Nano Banana Pro and why it matters
It's the evolution of Nano Banana, now powered by Gemini 3 Pro. It's not just about generating pretty images: it adds improved reasoning and real-world knowledge to produce visuals with context, factual information, and real-time connectivity.
So what does that mean for you? You can ask for educational infographics that actually explain a topic, snapshots with current data like the weather or sports scores, and visuals that keep text and design coherent across languages.
Practical uses and examples you can try
-
Infographics for learning: turn a description of a plant or a process into a clear, didactic graphic. Example:
Prompt: Create an infographic about the String of Turtles plant focusing on origins, care essentials and growth patterns. -
Step-by-step recipes: imagine a visual guide to making elaichi chai with illustrated, precise steps.
Prompt: Create an infographic that shows how to make elaichi chai. -
Real-time data integration: Nano Banana Pro can access Google Search to include current data in an image, like changing weather shown in a pop art composition.
-
Storyboards and scenes: from a black-and-white storyboard to an editorial fashion shot in the desert, the tool keeps visual consistency and cinematic sense.
Prompt: Create a storyboard for this scene. -
Readable text inside images: you'll create posters, mockups, or labels with text correctly rendered in multiple languages, even with specific handwritings and textures. Example: translating and fitting the text from beverage cans from English to Korean while keeping composition intact.
-
Creative examples: from letters that build architecture to idioms carved from wood by a woodchuck, Nano Banana Pro gives creative control for brand projects or personal art.
Creative capabilities that make everyday work easier
-
Consistency and multiple inputs: you can combine up to 14 images and keep resemblance for up to 5 people in the same composition. Handy when you're working with team photos or want characters to look consistent across different shots.
-
Studio controls: localized adjustments to change camera angles, depth of field, color grading, day-to-night transforms, and bokeh effects. Available in 2K and 4K resolutions and different aspect ratios for socials or print.
-
Localized editing: select, refine, and transform specific parts of an image without redoing the whole background. Perfect for mockups, product tweaks, or quick presentation retouches.

Transparency: how to identify an AI-generated image
Google follows a clear policy: all images generated by its tools carry the imperceptible digital watermark SynthID. There's also a visible watermark (the Gemini spark) for images created by free users and Pro subscribers.
You have a direct tool in the Gemini app: you can upload an image and ask if it was generated by Google AI thanks to verification with SynthID. Google says it will extend this verification to audio and video in the future.
Important: Ultra subscribers and Google AI Studio users can generate images without the visible watermark to keep a clean canvas for professional work, though the SynthID digital mark remains for verification.
Final thought
Nano Banana Pro aims to bring advanced imaging capabilities closer to people and teams without turning creativity into something inaccessible. Want a bilingual poster, an infographic with real data, or a film storyboard? Now you have a more powerful tool that understands context and handles text inside images more accurately. The question is: what will you create first?
