Google Nano Banana 2

Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 2.0 Flash Image) is Google's fast image generation model with conversational editing, combining speed with powerful new capabilities like Google Search grounding, multi-image fusion, and character consistency. It bridges the gap between the lightweight original Nano Banana and the professional-grade Nano Banana Pro.

☀️ Why it stands out

  • Google Search grounding Generate images based on real-time information — weather, sports scores, recent events, trending topics. The model queries Google Search to inform its output.
  • Image Search grounding Find web images as visual context for generation. When enabled, web search is also used automatically for richer results.
  • Multi-image fusion Combine up to 14 reference images for style blending, character consistency, and creative compositing.
  • Resolution up to 4K Choose from 1K, 2K, or 4K output depending on your quality and speed needs.
  • Extended aspect ratios 15 options including ultra-wide (8:1) and ultra-tall (1:8) — perfect for banners, bookmarks, and panoramic prints.
  • Conversational editing Edit images through natural language in a back-and-forth style, refining results iteratively.
  • Character consistency Maintain character identity across multiple generations using reference images.

⚙️ How to use

  • Input: text prompt, optionally with up to 14 reference images
  • Output: generated or edited image (JPEG/PNG)
  • Resolution: 1K (fast), 2K (balanced), 4K (highest quality)
