Nano Banana 2 combines Pro capabilities with Flash speed
Google has launched Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), combining Nano Banana Pro's advanced world knowledge and quality with Gemini Flash speed. Key features include real-time web search grounding for accurate subject rendering, precision text rendering and translation for marketing mockups, subject consistency for up to 5 characters and 14 objects, and production-ready specs from 512px to 4K.
What changed
Rolling out across the Gemini app (replacing Nano Banana Pro for most users), Search AI Mode, Lens, AI Studio, Vertex AI, Flow, and Google Ads. SynthID verification has been used over 20 million times since November.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means AI-generated product imagery and ad creative can now be produced faster with higher-quality text rendering. Hadia Arif breaks down the practical implications of Nano Banana 2 for Amazon sellers: at 7 cents per image, nearly 2x cheaper than Pro with Flash speed. For e-commerce, the model enables 4K product images without studio shoots, lifestyle shots with up to 5 models and 14 products, maintaining visual consistency, infographics with readable text for benefit callouts and size charts, and localised creatives with in-image text translation. Main image concepts can be generated in under 20 minutes. LinkedIn
