Google has launched Nano Banana Pro, a refreshed and more powerful version of its viral image-generation tool, and this time, it’s backed by the company’s newest Gemini 3 engine. What began as a fun internet trend has now evolved into a serious creation tool, blending accessibility with near-professional capabilities.
At the heart of the upgrade is better understanding. Thanks to Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro can now interpret complex prompts, recognise context more accurately and generate images with improved realism. Text inside visuals, often a pain point for AI models, now appears much cleaner, supporting multiple languages with far fewer distortions.
Users also get far greater creative control. The model supports 2K and 4K image generation, offering crisp detail for posters, product shots, teaching material or social media visuals. New camera-style features let users adjust lighting, depth, focus and colour tone, giving them the feel of working with a lightweight digital studio.
One standout upgrade is its ability to blend multiple images and objects, up to 14 in a single frame, and even keep characters consistent across shots. For designers, educators, storytellers or marketers, this means smoother workflows and more reliable AI-assisted content creation.
Another major shift is its real-time connection to Google Search, making the model better at producing images based on current data or up-to-date references. For a tech tool born out of a social media trend, this marks a move into practical, everyday utility.
The Pro version will be available via the Gemini app, NotebookLM, Google Workspace, Search AI mode, and through developer APIs. Google continues to emphasise responsible AI use — every output carries invisible SynthID watermarks, with visible ones applied depending on subscription level.
Slower processing speeds compared to the original Nano Banana are expected, but the trade-off is clear: more power, more control and more possibilities.
