Google launches Nano Banana Pro image model, adds AI image detection in Gemini app
Google's meme-friendly Nano Banana image-generation model is getting an upgrade. The new Nano Banana Pro is rolling out with improved reasoning and instruction following, giving users the ability to create more accurate images with legible text and make precise edits to existing images. It's available to everyone in the Gemini app, but free users will find themselves up against the usage limits pretty quickly. Nano Banana Pro is part of the newly launched Gemini 3 Pro -- it's actually called Gemini 3 Pro Image in the same way the original is Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, but Google is sticking with the meme-y name. You can access it by selecting Gemini 3 Pro and then turning on the "Create images" option. Google says the new model can follow complex prompts to create more accurate images. The model is apparently so capable it can generate an entire usable infographic in a single shot with no weird AI squiggles in place of words. Nano Banana Pro is also better at maintaining consistency in images. You can blend up to 14 images with this tool, and it can maintain the appearance of up to five people in outputs. Google also promises better editing. You can refine your AI images or provide Nano Banana Pro with a photo and make localized edits without as many AI glitches. It can even change core elements of the image like camera angles, color grading, and lighting without altering other elements. Google is pushing the professional use angle with its new model, which has much improved resolution options. Your creations in Nano Banana Pro can be rendered at up to 4K. Detecting less sloppy slop Google is not just blowing smoke -- the new image generator is much better. Its grasp of the world and the nuance of language is apparent, producing much more realistic results. Even before this, AI images were getting so good that it could be hard to spot them at a glance. Gone are the days when you could just count fingers to identify AI. Google is making an effort to help identify AI content, though. Images generated with Nano Banana Pro continue to have embedded SynthID watermarks that Google's tools can detect. The company is also adding more C2PA metadata to further label AI images. The Gemini app is part of this effort, too. Starting now, you can upload an image and ask something like "Is this AI?" The app won't detect just any old AI image, but it will tell you if it's a product of Google AI by checking for SynthID. At the same time, Google is making it slightly harder for flesh and blood humans to know an image was generated with AI. Operating with the knowledge that professionals may want to generate images with Nano Banana Pro, Google has removed the visible watermark from images for AI Ultra subscribers. These images still have SynthID, but only the lower tiers have the Gemini twinkle in the corner. While everyone can access the new Nano Banana Pro today, AI Ultra subscribers will enjoy the highest usage limits. Gemini Pro users will get a bit less access, and free users will get the lowest limits before being booted down to the non-pro version.

Google releases Nano Banana Pro, its latest image generation model | TechCrunch
Google is upgrading its image generation model with new editing chops, higher resolutions, more accurate text rendering, and the ability to search the web. Dubbed Nano Banana Pro, the new model is built on Google's latest large language model, Gemini 3, released earlier this week. The company claims Nano Banana Pro improves on its predecessor, Nano Banana, with the ability to create more detailed images and accurate text, and generate text in different styles, fonts and languages. The model also has web searching capabilities, so you can do things like ask it to look up a recipe and generate flash cards. Google says Nano Banana Pro is geared towards giving professionals more control over images, and lets users control aspects like camera angles, scene lighting, depth of field, focus, and color grading. And compared to Nano Banana's resolution cap of 1024 x 1024px, users can generate 2K or 4K images with Nano Banana Pro. The company noted that while Nano Banana Pro can generate images at a higher quality, it is slower and costlier than the original model, which cost $0.039 per 1024px image. Comparatively, the new model costs $0.139 for each 1080p or 2K image, and $0.24 for every 4K image. The new model can use six high-fidelity shots or blend up to 14 objects within an image. It can also maintain consistency and resemblance of up to five people. The company has released a demo app where you can try some of these capabilities. Nano Banana Pro is being rolled out across many of Google's existing AI tools. The Gemini app will now use the new model to generate images by default, though users on the free subscription tier will be able to use the model to generate a limited number of images, after which they will be defaulted to the original Nano Banana model. Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers will get higher generation thresholds, though the company did not disclose the exact limits. These subscribers will also get access to the model within Notebook LM. Google is also making the model available in search through AI mode for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S. Ultra subscribers can access the model in the company's video tool, Flow, and it is available to Workspace customers in Google Slides and Vids, too. Developers can tap Nano Banana Pro through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio and the company's new IDE, Antigravity. The company is also baking in SynthID, its tech to watermark and detect AI-generated images, into the Gemini app. Users can upload an image, and the chatbot will tell them if the image has been created or modified by the company's image models. Google didn't mention if it also plans to support other AI-watermarking standards such as C2PA.

Nano Banana Pro Is Here: All the Changes in Google's Popular AI Image Tool
The newest version of Google's AI image model is here, thanks to Gemini 3. Whether you choose to call it by its official name (Gemini 3 Pro Image) or its better-known nickname (nano banana pro), this model uses Gemini's "deep thinking" feature to create better content. Nano banana pro promises to be more capable, specifically with generating legible text, using up to 14 reference images and creating images in resolutions up to 4K. Nano banana pro is available now, rolling out globally in the Gemini app. In Gemini, select "Create images" (with a π emoji) and switch your model to the Thinking model (located on the right side of the prompt window). You can use nano banana pro for free, but you will hit a generation limit faster than paying Google AI subscribers. Those plans start at $20 per month. You'll be automatically switched back to the original model once you've used up your credits. The model is also available in the Gemini API, Google AI Studio and Flow. AI image generators have notoriously struggled to create clear text; mangled words have been clear signs that an image was created with AI. OpenAI's GPT-Image-1 was one of the first models to make significant progress in fixing this, but CNET's testing showed it wasn't able to reliably create readable text. Google says nano banana pro is supposed to be better at this -- so good that you can use the new model to create infographics, relying on Gemini's integration with Google Search (and Search's AI Mode for paying Pro users) to aid the process. You might've noticed that none of the images made with nano banana pro have Google's diamond-shaped watermark, which usually denotes that it was made with AI. That's because Google is introducing a new way for its highest-paying subscribers (those paying $250 per month for the Ultra plan) to remove those watermarks. Even though it's restricted to that top-tier plan, it's already extremely difficult to tell if something was created with AI. Fewer watermarks won't help. Google says Gemini will be able to identify any images made with its AI because of its SynthID, an invisible watermark attached to its AI-generated content. So in theory, you can upload an image to Gemini and ask whether it's real or made with Google's AI. We'll have to wait and see how well it actually works. Don't miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. Add CNET as a preferred Google source. The original nano banana model, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, was released this summer. Early testers thought the capabilities were, well, bananas. Throw in a series of fruit-themed teasers from Google executives, and the model quickly became best known by its nickname, nano banana. Its popularity soared in the following days. One of the things fans liked about the original nano banana was how well it maintained character consistency. Meaning nano banana was able to edit your existing photos without distorting the characters or people in them. CNET's hands-on testing found this was true, but there were still obvious AI slip-ups. The new model might eliminate some of those errors. It's been a big week for Google as it dropped a major update to its AI system, Gemini 3. The new models are rolling out now, aiming to give Gemini users a smarter, less sycophantic experience.

Google's Nano Banana AI image model goes Pro and is free to try
Google just took the wraps off Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image), its improved image generation and editing model built on Gemini 3 Pro that promises to "turn your visions into studio-quality designs with unprecedented control, flawless text rendering, and enhanced world knowledge." That's a step up from those hyperrealistic 3D figurines that caused the original image model to go viral in September, shortly after its launch. Best of all, it's free to try globally starting today inside the Gemini app by selecting "Create image" with the "Thinking" model. Google says that Nano Banana Pro can help create context-rich infographics and diagrams that can help visualize real-time information like weather or sports. And its ability to render legible text directly on the image -- as a short tagline or long paragraph -- makes it suitable for generating posters or invitations in a variety of language translations. It also supports blending multiple elements into a single composition, using up to 14 images and up to five people. And because the model excels at editing, Nano Banana Pro also promises new advanced creative controls. As such, you can select and locally edit any part of an image, adjust camera angles, add bokeh, change focus, color grade, or change lighting from day to night. Resolutions up to 4K are supported across a variety of aspect ratios. Notably, images created or edited with the Nano Banana Pro model will have C2PA metadata embedded. That should -- eventually -- make it easier to spot generative AI or deepfakes in search results and social media feeds, once the industry gets its act together. TikTok said this week that it would also use C2PA metadata to invisibly watermark AI-generated content. Users of the free Nano Banana Pro tier will be limited to a quota, that expands for Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers. It's also available for AI Mode in Search in the US if you subscribe to Google AI Pro or Ultra, or globally to users of the NotebookLM research assistant.

Nano Banana Pro: Here's What Google's New AI Image Generator Can Do
Google's next-gen Nano Banana image-generation tool is here, mere days after the launch of its new Gemini 3 model. Nano Banana Pro, also known as Gemini 3 Pro Image, promises more factually accurate creations. Google says Banana Pro is "more helpful" than the previous version, and suggests using it to build explainers, infographics, diagrams, and blueprints. An example shows the AI making a step-by-step recipe for a cardamom tea -- researching the process, designing an image with text instructions, and organizing it into a flow chart structure. AI tools have struggled with generating text in images, but Google thinks it has cracked the case with Nano Banana Pro, touting its ability to do everything from short taglines to long paragraphs. An example shows how text can be used in an AI-generated storyboard, putting multiple instances of small directions next to sketches. In a separate tips and tricks post, Google says the tool can be limited when trying to render small text, and it warns that spelling can be inaccurate. You may need to tweak images with follow-up prompts to get accurate results. Nano Banana Pro can also generate text in multiple languages, allowing you to make multiple versions of your image for different markets. Google recommends checking the results as it can "make grammar mistakes of miss specific cultural nuances." All images can now be generated at either 2K or 4K resolution. You can select and refine any part of an image, such as changing a camera angle, color grading, effects, lighting, focus, and more. Google's guidance suggests being as detailed as possible in your first prompt. It even recommends sharing specifics such as the aspect ratio to use, depth of field, and how you want lighting to appear. Google has also expanded the tool to allow for 14 different images to be input at once, allowing you to bring more creations together in one complete AI-generated image. It says it can also maintain the resemblance of up to five subjects throughout the creation process. It means you can ask the tool to keep the people consistent even as you change other aspects, such as their poses. Nano Banana Pro is now available, with a usage limitation for non-subscribers. If you're on the free tier, you'll be dropped down to Gemini Flash 2.5 when you run out of credits. Those on a Google AI Plus, Pro, or Ultra subscription have higher quotas. The tool is also available within Google Search's AI Mode in the US if you subscribe to either AI Pro or Ultra. On the paid version of Google's NotebookLM, you'll also get access to the AI-generation feature if you live in the US. Google will also bring these tools to its AI-filmmaking tool Flow, but an exact release date was not announced.

Google launches Nano Banana Pro, an updated AI image generator powered by Gemini 3
Google on Thursday rolled out Nano Banana Pro, its latest image editing and generation tool, continuing the company's momentum after launching its new Gemini artificial intelligence model earlier this week. The product is built on Gemini 3 Pro, which was announced on Tuesday and contributed to record-breaking stock highs. Josh Woodward, vice president of Google Labs and Gemini, told CNCB's Deirdre Bosa that the Nano Banana Pro's capabilities expand beyond its original iteration, which launched in late August. "It's incredible at infographics. It can make slide decks. It can take up to 14 different images, or five different characters, and sort of keep that character consistency," he said. He added that internal users have experimented with the feature by inputting code snippets and even LinkedIn resumes to create infographics. "I think this ability to visualize things that were previously maybe not something you would think of as a visual medium that tends to be one of the magic things people are finding with it," Woodward said. The original Nano Banana went viral on social media as users turned photos of themselves or their pets into hyperrealistic 3D figurines. Woodward wrote in an X post in September that the product helped add 13 million new users to the Gemini app in the span of four days. Nano Banana Pro is currently available in the Gemini app, with limited free quotas, Google's writing assistant, NotebookLM, as well as the company's developer, enterprise and advertising products. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers will have access to the product in Google's search features AI Mode.

I tried Google's new Nano Banana Pro, and it's the AI Photoshop of my dreams
Google's AI image generation and editing model just got way better, and I was able to take it for a spin. In its never-ending quest to defeat OpenAI, Google is trying all sorts of tactics to get people to switch from ChatGPT to Gemini. One of its best weapons in this fight is Nano Banana, Google's AI image generation and editing model. It went insanely viral after launch, so Google has leaned hard on it, promoting it on as many platforms as possible. To maintain this momentum, Google has launched Nano Banana Pro, a significantly improved version of its AI image model. I had the opportunity to test this new model prior to launch, and I think it's going to become a Photoshop replacement for image editing beginners like myself.

Google rolling out Gemini 3-powered 'Nano Banana Pro' image gen, editing
Google is following Tuesday's launch of Gemini 3 Pro with Nano Banana Pro. The image generation and editing model is officially Gemini 3 Pro Image, but the viral moniker is sticking around. The original model (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) was announced at the end of August. Nano Banana Pro is based on Gemini 3 Pro. It uses the base model's "state-of-the-art reasoning and real-world knowledge to visualize information better than ever before." Nano Banana Pro can create more accurate and legible text in images across multiple languages, with the latter made possible by Gemini 3 Pro's enhanced multilingual reasoning. Stylistically, you can leverage a "wider variety of textures, fonts, and calligraphy." Prompt: Translate all the English text on the three yellow and blue cans into Korean, while keeping everything else the same Make 8 minimalistic logos, each is an expressive word, and make letters convey a message or sound visually to express the meaning of this word in a dramatic way. composition: flat vector rendering of all logos in black on a single white background Similarly, this model lets you adjust camera angles, change the focus, apply sophisticated color grading, and transform scene lighting, like changing from day to night or creating a bokeh effect. It also offers improved localized editing to "select, refine, and transform any part of an image." Various aspect ratios are available along with 2K and 4K resolutions. Nano Banana Pro lets you blend up to 14 images while "maintaining the consistency and resemblance of up to 5 people." One place where the model's reasoning, world knowledge, and real-time information comes together is when generating infographics and diagrams. Create an infographic that shows how to make elaichi chai Nano Banana Pro is rolling out globally to the Gemini app today. Once you're using the Thinking (Gemini 3 Pro) model, select "Create images." Free users have a limited quota before returning to the original Nano Banana. Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers get higher usage limits. Meanwhile, Google is dropping the watermark for AI Ultra subscribers who are often using it for professional work. It remains in place for everyone else, while Google now has a @SynthID extension in the Gemini app. This lets you upload images to check if it's generated, with video and audio support coming soon.

Nano Banana Pro is here -- these are all of the new features in Google's latest AI image generator
Just a few months ago, Google released Nano Banana -- an AI image generator that went viral on the internet for its incredible realism. Now, Google is already onto the next step, announcing the launch of Nano Banana Pro. As part of the rollout of Gemini 3, this new version of Nano Banana is powered by state-of-the-art reasoning abilities, paired with real-world knowledge that lets it better visualize information. This means major improvements to both the AI tool's ability to edit and generate images, especially understanding contextual awareness in images and better replication of prompts. Across Google's services that utilize this technology, you can either use the original Nano Banana (which is faster) or the newer Pro version, ready to take on more complicated tasks. The most obvious place to use the new Pro version is within the Gemini app. This will be made available globally. To use it, choose the thinking model while selecting 'create images'. Free users will receive a limited number of uses, after which they will be put back onto the original version. Those on any of the paid versions will get a higher quota. You can also use Nano Banana Pro through the new AI mode upgrade in Google, but only in the US for paid users. Nano Banana Pro will also roll out to NotebookLM globally, as long as you are subscribed to one of Google's AI plans. With Nano Banana, you can use it like any other image generator before. However, Google has emphasised some of the major improvements that are part of this update. As part of the advancements in reasoning, Nano Banana Pro is able to provide context-rich images, such as infographics that include diagrams and lots of text. These can be based on context that you provide or a search of the internet and real world facts. Nano Banana can be connected to Google Search, allowing you to snap a recipe, live weather report or sports score and use these to inform an image. AI image generators used to really struggle with replicating text in images. Whether this was in an infographic or a poster in the background of an AI-generated movie poster, it would often appear as a mess of inaccurate text. That, however, has changed since then, and Nano Banana goes a step further. Google claims that Gemini 3 is great at understanding depth and nuance, which opens new avenues for text in images. This can include detailed text in document mockups, or posters that feature different fonts and text sizes, or even replicating calligraphy. Thanks to this greater intelligence, Gemini can also generate text in multiple languages or translate existing text in images. One of the big promises of Nano Banana is its ability to process multiple images for representation. To be exact, Google claims that you can use up to 14 images and maintain the consistency and resemblance of up to 5 people. This opens up the ability to turn sketches into products or images into photorealistic 3D structures using a host of angles and examples. In the past, this could confuse an AI model, giving it too many competing narratives to try and source from. If this is successfully implemented, it could be a huge jump in Nano Banana's ability. Google is also allowing for more control over adjustments, including the ability to transform any section of the image, adjust camera angles, change the focus, or even apply color grading. Currently, Google has been utilizing a technique called SynthID to put digital watermarks on any content made by a Google tool. SynthIDs can be detected by Google systems. As part of this new update, Google has made the process easier, allowing users to upload an image to the Gemini app and ask if it was generated by Google AI. This will also be available for videos and audio in the future. Along with this, there will also be a visible watermark on images generated by Google. This appears as a small sparkle (the Gemini logo).

Google launches Nano Banana Pro, a massive leap in AI image editing powered by Gemini 3 Pro
Just a few short months after Google added the incredibly popular Nano Banana image generator to Gemini Flash 2.5, it has now launched Nano Banana Pro for users of Gemini 3 Pro. Nano Banana Pro is available now in the Gemini app when you select Create images under the Thinking mode. Free-tier users get limited free quotas, after which they will revert to the original Nano Banana model. AI Pro and Ultra subscribers receive higher quotas. Nano Banana Pro is also available in Search's AI Mode for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S., and in NotebookLM for global subscribers. Nano Banana Pro has several key improvements over the original Nano Banana. First, it can generate more accurate, context-rich visuals based on world knowledge and real-time information. This is particularly useful if you are producing infographics and diagrams based on real-world facts, like the one shown above. Nano Banana Pro also connects to Google Search's vast knowledge base, which is again useful for real-time information like weather or sports. Second, Nano Banana Pro can generate images with more accurate and legible text, in multiple languages. Text generation in AI images has come a long way this year, but it's still not perfect, so it will be interesting to see how legible text in Nano Banana Pro is compared to ChatGPT. Google says that with Nano Banana Pro, "you can create more detailed text in mockups or posters with a wider variety of textures, fonts, and calligraphy. With Gemini's enhanced multilingual reasoning, you can generate text in multiple languages, or localize and translate your content so you can scale internationally and/or share content more easily with friends and family." You can blend more elements than ever before in Nano Banana Pro, using up to 14 images and maintaining consistency and resemblance of up to five people. The applications of this are mainly for business users, where people might want to turn initial sketches for a short video into blueprints, or create an image that combines a lot of different products. With Nano Banana Pro, you get new capabilities. You can select, refine, and transform any part of an image with better local editing. Google says you will be able to "adjust camera angles, change the focus and apply sophisticated color grading, or even transform scene lighting (e.g. changing day to night or creating a bokeh effect). Your creations are ready for any platform, from social media to print, thanks to a range of available aspect ratios and available 2K and 4K resolution." In addition to accessing Nano Banana Pro in the Gemini app, as described earlier, there are other ways to access it. Developers and enterprise users will have access via the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Google Antigravity. Google AI Ultra subscribers will also have access to it in Flow, Google's AI filmmaking tool for creatives, filmmakers, and marketers. In addition, Nano Banana 3 is now accessible in Adobe Firefly and Photoshop. Adobe says it is offering unlimited image generations using Firefly and partner models - including Nano Banana Pro - in the Firefly app through December 1 (available to Creative Cloud Pro and Firefly plan subscribers).

It can also pull real-time information through Google Search to create context-rich visuals. Google has officially rolled out Nano Banana Pro, a major upgrade to its viral AI image generator, now powered by the company's newly launched Gemini 3 model. The update follows a week of rapid momentum for Google's AI ecosystem and comes after the company reported strong user growth across Gemini-powered products. According to Google, Nano Banana Pro is developed on the Gemini 3 Pro foundation, bringing stronger reasoning abilities, improved world knowledge and more accurate text rendering. Alphabet's stock saw a rise after the Gemini 3 announcement earlier this week, reflecting the broader interest in Google's expanding AI lineup. Josh Woodward, vice president at Google Labs and Gemini, told CNBC that the new version goes far beyond its earlier release from August. He noted that internal testers have been using the tool for tasks such as turning code snippets and even resumes into clean infographics. Woodward added that users are discovering new ways to visualise information that previously did not lend itself naturally to visuals (CNBC). Google's earlier Nano Banana tool, built on Gemini 2.5 Flash, became a social media trend as users created hyperrealistic mini figurines. The company said the first version brought millions of new sign-ups to the Gemini app in just days. The Pro variant introduces several professional-grade upgrades, as highlighted across the company's blog posts and announcements. 1. Better text handling and multilingual support Google said Nano Banana Pro is its most accurate model for generating legible text directly inside images. It can retain original text while editing, create new text in various styles and even translate content across languages. This feature is aimed at designers who work with posters, mockups and marketing visuals (Google blog). 2. Higher-quality images and enhanced controls Users can now generate 2K and 4K images, a major jump from the original model's 1024Γ1024 resolution. The new version also allows fine-tuning elements such as camera angle, lighting, depth of field, focus and colour grading. This level of creative control is meant to appeal to professionals who currently rely on platforms like MidJourney. 3. Web search integration The model can connect with Google Search to generate images based on real-time information. Google said users can, for example, search for a recipe, create flashcards or generate visuals using real-world data. 4. Multi-image blending and character consistency The tool can blend up to fourteen objects or use six high-fidelity photos to produce a single composition. It also maintains resemblance for up to five people, allowing creators to make storyboards, slides or character sequences with consistent outputs. Google is rolling out Nano Banana Pro globally through: The company said that while Nano Banana Pro offers higher-quality images, it is costlier and slower compared to the previous version. Google is expanding SynthID, its AI watermarking system, across the new tool. All images created or edited by Nano Banana Pro include invisible identifiers. Users can upload an image into the Gemini app to check whether it was produced by Google AI. Free and Pro-tier users will see a visible "sparkle" watermark on generated images. Google said only Ultra subscribers will be able to remove visible watermarks, acknowledging the need for a clean canvas for professional work. To access the tool: Free users will have limited generations before the app switches them back to the original Nano Banana model.
