Nano Banana 2 (Nano Banana 2): Gemini 3 Pro Image Model Explained

How Nano Banana 2 – also known as "Nano Banana 2" and NANO BANANA 2 – connects to Gemini 3 Pro and what it actually offers for image generation.

One model, three names: Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana 2, NANO BANANA 2

Early leaks and internal documentation point to Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana 2 and NANO BANANA 2 as three labels for the same underlying product: a Gemini 3 Pro–powered image model sometimes described as "Gemini 3.0 Pro Image". In other words, when people talk about Nano Banana 2, they are usually talking about Nano Banana 2 running on top of Gemini 3 Pro.

The model sits alongside text-only Gemini 3 variants, but is optimised specifically for high-quality image generation. It inherits the reasoning and instruction-following improvements from Gemini 3 Pro, then applies them to prompts that control composition, style, typography and multi-image fusion.

What Nano Banana 2 is designed to do

  • Professional-grade output: native 2K rendering with a clean path to true 4K images suitable for print and broadcast use.
  • Fast iteration: complex prompts return results in roughly 1–15 seconds in early testing, making it viable for creative workflows.
  • Wide aspect ratio support: 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9 and more.
  • Stronger text rendering: especially for CJK languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), which historically have been hard for image models.
  • Culture-aware visuals: prompts like “a spring picnic in Tokyo” can pick up more realistic local visual details.

No video yet, but the roadmap is clear

Documentation suggests that Nano Banana 2 is currently focused on still images. Video generation appears on a 2026 roadmap, with hints that the underlying architecture is being prepared for time-consistent short clips and frame-by-frame editing. For now, the sweet spot is high-quality single frames, infographics and multi-image compositions.

If you mainly care about turning text and reference images into sharp, culturally-aware visuals, Nano Banana 2 is the part of the Gemini 3 ecosystem you should be looking at. This site focuses on prompts and workflows that map well to those strengths, and you can send them directly to gempix2.site when you are ready to generate.
