Nano Banana 2 — Chat-Based Image Editor on Gemini 3.1

The image editor that listens.
Say "remove the background", "make it golden hour", "add a coffee cup" — and Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (Nano Banana 2) does it. Native 2K resolution, 16-bit color depth.

Nano Banana drove 200 million image edits in its first month. Version 2 doubles the resolution and finally renders legible text. 25 credits per edit.

What Nano Banana 2 can edit

Not text-to-image. Image editing — you bring the photo, Nano Banana 2 changes exactly what you ask.

01.

In-context character consistency

Keep the same character across ten different scenes. Upload one portrait, generate ten variations — birthday party, beach, office, mountain — same face, same outfit, same person.

02.

Precise text rendering

Nano Banana 2 finally writes legible text in images. Logos, signs, product packaging, callout labels — readable and sharp at native 2K. The big diffusion failure mode, fixed.

03.

2K native, 16-bit color

Native output is 2048x2048 pixels at 16-bit depth — print-ready. No more 1024 squares, no banding in gradients.

Why Nano Banana 2 beats Photoshop AI and DALL-E

Three reasons designers, e-commerce sellers, and content creators have moved off the alternatives.

You don't tweak masks and feather radii. You say what you want. "Move the cup three inches left and shorter shadow" — Nano Banana 2 understands and re-renders.

01.

What is Nano Banana?

Nano Banana is Google's internal code name for Gemini Flash Image — the chat-native image editing model that drove 10 million new Gemini users and 200 million image edits in its first month after launching in August 2025. Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview) launched in early 2026 with 2K native output and improved text rendering.

02.

How is Nano Banana 2 different from version 1?

Native 2K (up from 1K), 16-bit color depth (up from 8-bit), and much better text rendering inside images. Every edit costs a flat 25 credits regardless of resolution or complexity.

03.

Is Nano Banana the same as Imagen 4?

No. Imagen 4 is pure text-to-image — type a prompt, get a fresh image. Nano Banana is chat-based image editing — you bring an image and iterate on it conversationally. They serve different jobs and you can use both on GeminiOmni.

04.

Can I keep the same character across multiple images?

Yes — that's Nano Banana's signature feature. Upload one image and the model preserves the subject across as many follow-up edits as you want. It's the reason brands use it for product photography and storyboards.

05.

How much does each edit cost?

Every edit costs 25 credits from one shared balance — no resolution tiers, no surcharges. Buy a one-time pack ($9 Starter = 1,000 credits ≈ 40 edits) or subscribe — Creator is $14/mo billed yearly for 800 credits a month. Credits never expire on subscriptions, and failed edits are auto-refunded.
