What is Nano Banana Pro?

Nano Banana Pro is Google's Gemini 3 Pro Image, announced on 20 November 2025. What separates it from every other image model is text: Google calls it the best model for rendering correct, legible text inside the image, and in our own testing that mostly holds. Here it runs text-to-image and image-to-image, takes up to 5 reference images, and outputs at 1K, 2K or 4K.

It has one hard limit and we found exactly where it is. Short text is reliable — headlines, labels, captions, a thirty-word standfirst all came back correctly spelled. Two full columns of body copy came back as gibberish. The magazine spread below is that failure, published as we generated it. And in scenes with several people overlapping, individual hands are fine but their spatial relationships stop making sense.

Positioning and capability claims are from the official Google announcement: Introducing Nano Banana Pro

What reviewers found

“Nano Banana Pro uses Gemini's state-of-the-art reasoning and real-world knowledge to visualize information better than ever before.”
— Google — Introducing Nano Banana Pro
“Try to generate a full magazine page with multiple paragraphs of body copy, and you'll still get gibberish.”
— Shivam Aggarwal — Fliki review
“Text accuracy is around 95%.”
— Szilard Gyorfi — BlueFx, from his own test runs

Every image below was generated on this page on 18 August 2026, at 2K, first take, with the exact prompt shown — including the one that failed.

Nano Banana Pro infographic titled HOW A HEAT PUMP WORKS with four correctly labeled and correctly ordered stages

Text in the image that is actually spelled correctly

This is the reason to pick this model over a cheaper one. We asked for a poster headline, a four-stage infographic, a Korean exhibition title and a wraparound product label. Every requested string came back correctly spelled and set where the brief asked for it. The infographic goes further than spelling: the flow annotations around the cycle — low pressure vapour, high pressure gas, high pressure liquid, low pressure liquid — are in the thermodynamically correct positions. It did not just draw something that looks like a diagram, it drew the right diagram.

Nano Banana Pro magazine spread where the headline, standfirst and caption are correct but the body columns are gibberish

Where the text stops working — about one paragraph in

Reviewers describe this as "headlines fine, body copy bad", which is true but too vague to plan around. So we asked for a full magazine spread and read the result word by word. Masthead, issue line, footer, headline: correct. The roughly thirty-word standfirst: fully grammatical English. The twenty-five-word photo caption: correct. The two columns of continuous body copy underneath: gibberish. The usable boundary is around a paragraph — write your headline, deck, labels and captions into the prompt, and paste real body copy in afterwards.

Titles outside the Latin alphabet

Google advertises legible text in multiple languages, and our Korean exhibition poster backs that up: all four syllable blocks of 「고요한 흙」 are correctly formed, and the English subtitle underneath is right down to the em dash. Worth calibrating your expectations, though — this is a short title, which is exactly the length this model is reliable at. For a script you cannot read yourself, keep the string short and have a native speaker check it before it ships.

The rest of what we ran

Five more first-take outputs from the same 18 August 2026 batch — poster, product, landscape, food, and the multi-person scene we ran specifically to break it. All at 2K, each with the exact prompt. Generation took 56s at the fastest and 202s at the slowest, with a median of 86s.

Documentary photograph of four friends around a small kitchen table mid-conversation, hands overlapping as they pass a shared dish and refill glasses, natural window light, candid unposed gestures, realistic skin texture and fabric detail.

Who Nano Banana Pro is for

It is a text-rendering specialist. These are the jobs where that specialisation is the whole point.

  • Anyone making infographics or explainers

    Titles, numbered stages, one-line captions and flow annotations, all spelled correctly in one pass. Our heat-pump diagram also got the process order right, which is not something you can assume from an image model.

  • Poster and packaging designers

    Headline, subtitle, product mark, small legal-style line — the lengths this model is reliable at. Set continuous body copy yourself afterwards.

  • Social and ad teams working in several languages

    Short titles in non-Latin scripts came back correct in our Korean test. Keep the string short and have a native speaker proof it before it ships.

  • People who need five references merged

    Composites, restyles and targeted edits from up to 5 attached images. Beyond five, switch to the Official channel, which takes 14.

  • Anyone who does not want to set up API access

    No API key, no billing account, no console. If the setup step is the reason you have not tried this model yet, this page is the shortest route to it.

Credits, reference-image limits, resolutions and ratio counts are read from our own model registry on 18 August 2026 — the ratio counts exclude "auto", which is a setting rather than a ratio. Speeds and text results are our own measurements with the sample size stated. Cells we have not tested say so rather than borrowing a number from a vendor page.

How to use Nano Banana Pro online

Start Generating Images
  1. Open the workspace

    Create a free account — no API key, no Google Cloud project, no billing setup. The generator on this page is already set to Nano Banana Pro.

  2. Write the text into the prompt

    Put the exact strings you want rendered in quotation marks and say where they go: headline, subtitle, labels, caption. Keep each string to roughly a paragraph or shorter — that is where this model stays accurate.

  3. Pick ratio and quality

    Choose one of 10 ratios (or auto) and a quality tier. 1K and 2K cost the same here, so run 2K; step up to 4K only for print. The exact credit cost shows before you run.

  4. Generate, then proofread

    Most runs land in about a minute and a half, though some take three. Read the rendered text before you ship it — and if a long passage came back wrong, shorten it rather than retrying the same prompt.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What is Nano Banana Pro best at?

Putting correct, legible text inside an image. In our tests a poster headline, a four-stage infographic, a Korean exhibition title and a wraparound product label all came back correctly spelled on the first take — and the infographic also placed its flow annotations in the thermodynamically correct order. If your brief has words in it, this is the model to reach for.

2

How much text can it render before it breaks?

About a paragraph. We generated a full magazine spread and read it word by word: masthead, issue line, footer, headline, a thirty-word standfirst and a twenty-five-word photo caption were all correct English, while the two columns of continuous body copy underneath came back as gibberish. Write headlines, decks, labels and captions into the prompt; set real body copy yourself afterwards.

3

How is this different from Nano Banana Pro Official?

Same Google model, different channel, and the differences are concrete. This page takes up to 5 reference images, offers 7 aspect ratios, and has no Google Search grounding. The Official channel takes 14 references, offers 10 ratios up to 21:9, and can ground a generation in Google Search for 10 extra credits — at roughly four times the credit cost per image. Pick this one for text-led work and everyday volume; pick Official when you need many references, ultra-wide framing, or live information in the picture.

4

What is Nano Banana Pro bad at?

Two things from our own runs. Continuous body copy, as above. And people overlapping in one scene: in our four-friends test there were no finger-count errors and each hand was individually well formed, but the spatial logic broke down — you cannot tell whose hand is under the shared dish, and the poured wine does not land in any glass. Individual parts hold up; the relationships between them do not. Frame tighter, or keep the number of interacting people down.

5

Can it render non-English text?

Short strings, yes. Our Korean poster came back with all four syllable blocks of the title correctly formed and the English subtitle correct down to the em dash. That is a short title, though, which is precisely the length this model is reliable at. For any script you cannot read yourself, keep the string short and get a native speaker to check the output before it ships.

6

Which quality tier should I use?

Run 2K. On this channel 1K and 2K cost exactly the same number of credits, so 1K buys you nothing — every test on this page was generated at 2K. Step up to 4K only when the output is going to print, since that tier costs double.

7

How long does a generation take?

Across our eight runs at 2K the median was 86 seconds, but the spread was wide: the fastest finished in 56 seconds and the slowest took 202. Plan for around a minute and a half and do not be surprised by three. Generation is asynchronous, so you can keep working and the result lands in your history with its prompt and parameters saved.

8

Can I use Nano Banana Pro images commercially?

Yes, images you generate can be used in personal and commercial projects under our terms of service. You remain responsible for prompt content, trademarks, and the rights to any reference images you attach.
