Nano Banana 2: Combining Pro capabilities with lightning-fast speed

Feb 26, 2026

In August of last year, our Gemini Image model, Nano Banana, became a viral sensation, redefining image generation and editing. Then in November, we released Nano Banana Pro, offering users advanced intelligence and studio-quality creative control. Today, we’re bringing the best of both worlds to users across Google.

Introducing Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), our latest state-of-the-art image model. Now you can get the advanced world knowledge, quality and reasoning you love in Nano Banana Pro, at lightning-fast speed.

Nano Banana 2 brings the high-speed intelligence of Gemini Flash to visual generation, making rapid edits and iteration possible. It makes once-exclusive Pro features accessible to a wider audience, including:

• Advanced world knowledge: The model pulls from Gemini’s real-world knowledge base, and is powered by real-time information and images from web search to more accurately render specific subjects. This deep understanding also helps you create infographics, turn notes into diagrams and generate data visualizations.
• Precision text rendering and translation: Nano Banana 2 allows you to generate accurate, legible text for marketing mockups or greeting cards. You can even translate and localize text within an image to share your ideas globally.
