Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) is an AI image generation model developed by Google DeepMind. Use Nano Banana 2 as a focused AI image generator. Learn its strengths, best use cases, live settings, prompting workflow, examples, and limits before you generate. The sections below break down its capabilities, live settings, prompting, examples, and review points.
MODEL OVERVIEW
Nano Banana 2 has its own generation workflow and should be evaluated as a distinct model, not as a generic option inside a shared generator.
Try Nano Banana 2
Nano Banana 2 is strongest when you need Fast generation and Image editing, especially for Social content.
Nano Banana 2 supports text-led creation and image-guided editing. Add references only when they have a clear role such as identity, product shape, composition, or style.
Use the live settings table on this page as the current source of truth for Nano Banana 2. Available ratios, resolutions, durations, and reference limits can vary with the configured route.
CORE CAPABILITIES
The main reasons creators choose Nano Banana 2 for a dedicated workflow.
Fast generation is why Nano Banana 2 leads everyday drafts: short text-to-image briefs return in seconds, so test three directions in the time one polished render takes. Keep the first prompt short and add constraints only after the composition lands.
Image editing on Nano Banana 2 works best as fenced image-to-image transforms: upload the visual, state exactly what must stay unchanged (face, pose, line details), and change one element per pass. Small fenced edits preserve identity far better than full-scene rewrites.
Flexible aspect ratios let one Nano Banana 2 brief cover 16:9 banners, 1:1 posts, and 9:16 stories without rewriting the prompt. Choose the ratio before generating, because reframing afterward crops the composition instead of recomposing it.
High-resolution output on Nano Banana 2 is a finishing step, not an exploration tool: lock the composition at draft size, then render large once so text, hands, and fine patterns can be inspected at 100%. Enlarging a weak draft only enlarges its mistakes.
LIVE SETTINGS
These values come from the currently configured Nano Banana 2 route, so this table stays aligned with what the generator can actually submit.
HOW TO USE IT
A practical workflow for getting a useful first result before you spend time on fine tuning.
Use text-to-image for a new composition or image-to-image when Nano Banana 2 should transform an existing visual.
Use reference images for identity, product details, layout, palette, or style. Too many unrelated references make the brief less clear.
Describe subject, composition, lighting, style, constraints, and what must stay unchanged. Keep priorities explicit.
Check text, hands, small objects, materials, identity, and composition before increasing resolution or producing more variants.
BEST USE CASES
Choose Nano Banana 2 when the project matches these common production needs.
Nano Banana 2 fits daily social content because speed beats pixel-perfection there: generate the hook visual fast, check the focal subject and any text-overlay zones, then ship. Save heavier models for hero campaign art.
Use Nano Banana 2 for concept exploration by running one brief against three different style or lighting constraints side by side. Kill two directions early and iterate the survivor with tighter references.
For product visuals, Nano Banana 2 needs one clean object reference plus a stated preserve-list (logo, shape, label text) so edits don't melt the product. Always review label text and edges before approving background swaps.
Batch creative production on Nano Banana 2 means templating the brief: a fixed composition skeleton with swapped subjects or palettes per variant. Review the first three outputs fully, then spot-check the rest for drift.
PROMPT GUIDE
Keep the prompt specific enough to guide the model without turning it into a list of conflicting instructions.
Try Nano Banana 2Start with the subject, framing, and composition. Add style and lighting after the main visual structure is clear.
For edits, explicitly state what must remain unchanged and what should be modified. This is more reliable than re-describing the entire image.
When Nano Banana 2 uses multiple references, assign each one a role such as identity, product form, color palette, or layout.
PROMPT EXAMPLES
Use these as starting points, then replace the subject, references, style, and constraints with your own project details.
Create a cinematic manga-style street scene at night, wet pavement reflecting neon signs, controlled depth of field, 16:9 composition.
Edit the uploaded character image: keep the face, pose, and line details, change only the background to a warm sunset rooftop.
Generate four visual directions for a product launch using the same object, consistent lighting, clean advertising composition.
WHAT TO REVIEW
Nano Banana 2 can speed up production, but the output still needs human review before you treat it as final creative work.
Review small text, hands, logos, fine product details, and repeated patterns before publishing a Nano Banana 2 result.
Reference images improve control only when they are clear and non-conflicting; weak or unrelated references can reduce consistency.
Higher-resolution, multi-reference, masked, or batch workflows can require more credits or processing time than a simple draft.
