Google DeepMind unveils image generation tool – Nano Banana Pro

Google DeepMind launched Nano Banana Pro, the next-gen version of its earlier Nano Banana image model and the image system powering Gemini 3 Pro. The upgrade brings sharper text rendering, richer world knowledge, higher consistency across edits, and more precise creative controls — all aimed at producing studio-quality visuals from even the roughest ideas.

Why we care. Nano Banana Pro is built to help anyone — casual creators, designers, advertisers, developers, filmmakers — go from concept to polished visual with far more accuracy, reasoning, and control than previous models allowed.

It can:

• Generate context-rich educational visuals, grounded in real-world data via Search

• Render highly legible text in multiple languages directly inside images

• Maintain character and object consistency across up to 14 inputs

• Turn rough sketches, references, or notes into refined scenes, diagrams, mockups, and storyboards
• Perform localized edits, advanced lighting changes, and precise control over camera angles, color grading, and aspect ratios

How it works. Nano Banana Pro blends Gemini 3’s reasoning with upgraded image-editing tools to produce more accurate, on-brand visuals. Examples range from:

• Infographics and recipes grounded in real-time info
• Storyboards and architectural mockups
• Calligraphy, posters, and multilingual product packaging
• Cinematic composites merging multiple images
• High-fidelity fashion, lifestyle, and landscape renders
• Studio-level lighting transformations and focus adjustments

Who gets it. Nano Banana Pro is rolling out across Google’s ecosystem:

• Advertisers: upgraded image generation in Google Ads starting today
• Consumers & students: via the Gemini app and Search (with quota limits varying by subscription tier)
• Workspace users: in Google Slides and Vids
• Developers & enterprise: via the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, Antigravity, and soon Vertex AI
• Creatives & filmmakers: through Flow, Google’s AI filmmaking tool

The big picture. Nano Banana Pro moves Google’s image capabilities from quick, casual generation to professional-grade creation. With deeper reasoning, tighter control, and multilingual precision, Google is positioning the model as a creative engine for everything from classroom content to ad campaigns to full-scale film production.
