Overview
Nano Banana Pro is the highest-fidelity model in Google's Nano Banana family, released in November 2025. Built on Gemini 3 Pro, it delivers the sharpest text rendering and most detailed material reproduction in the lineup. It supports 4K output, 11 aspect ratios (including auto), and up to 8 reference images at 30 MB each. The trade-off is higher latency and cost compared to the Flash-based models.
Use cases
Production-quality imagery for print and packaging. Technical diagrams, infographics, and documentation with legible embedded text. Product photography requiring sharp material detail and consistent lighting. High-fidelity creative work where output quality justifies the longer generation time.
Inputs
All parameters are passed in the input object of the run request.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description (1–10000 chars) |
| aspect_ratio | No | Output aspect ratio. Default 1:1. Supports 11 ratios including auto |
| resolution | No | Output resolution. Default 1K. Options: 1K, 2K, 4K |
| image_urls | No | Up to 8 reference images (max 30 MB each) for guided generation |
Prompt tips
Use Pro for text-heavy final deliverables
Nano Banana Pro has the sharpest text rendering in the family. If your image includes dense or small text — ingredient labels, legal disclaimers, infographic callouts — this is the model to use for the final version.
Pair 4K with detailed scene descriptions
At 4K, the model renders fine textures (wood grain, fabric weave, skin pores) with noticeably more clarity. Give it enough descriptive detail to take advantage of the resolution.
Limitations
- Higher latency than Nano Banana or Nano Banana 2 due to Gemini 3 Pro processing
- Pricing reflects the higher compute cost of Pro-level inference
- Fewer reference images (8) than Nano Banana 2 (14)
- 11 aspect ratios — no ultra-wide options like 8:1 or 1:8
- Prompt length capped at 10,000 characters
FAQ
What aspect ratios does Nano Banana Pro support?
Eleven options: 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4, 9:16, 16:9, 21:9, and auto. The default is 1:1.
How does it compare to Nano Banana 2?
Nano Banana Pro uses Gemini 3 Pro for higher fidelity, especially in text rendering and material detail. Nano Banana 2 uses Gemini 3.1 Flash for faster generation, more aspect ratios (15 vs 11), and more reference images (14 vs 8). Choose Pro for quality, Nano Banana 2 for speed and flexibility.
What resolutions are available?
1K (default), 2K, and 4K. The 4K tier has a higher price point than 1K and 2K.
