About Nano Banana 2

Nano Banana 2 is Google's name for Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, released in February 2026. It produces images from text and changes existing ones from reference pictures, at 1K, 2K, or 4K, across fourteen aspect ratios that include unusually wide and tall formats. Google positions it for high-efficiency, production-scale visual creation, below Nano Banana Pro in fidelity.

Where it works well

Reference-based changes keep a subject or idea consistent across different layouts.
Fourteen aspect ratios, including 1:8 and 8:1 strips.
Three output sizes up to 4K from one model.
Flash-tier efficiency for production-scale batches.

When to choose another model

Nano Banana Pro is the better pick for text-heavy, highly detailed final art.
It outputs a single still; it does not make layered files or video.
