Google releases Nano Banana Pro, its latest image generation model | TechCrunch
"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 built on Gemini 3 and expands image-generation capabilities with higher resolutions, improved text rendering, and web-search integration. The model produces 2K and 4K images, supports six high-fidelity shots, blending up to 14 objects, and maintains resemblance for up to five people. It provides granular photographic controls including camera angles, lighting, depth of field, focus, and color grading. Generation costs are higher than the prior model: $0.139 per 1080p/2K image and $0.24 per 4K image compared to $0.039 per 1024px previously. The model is integrated across Google's AI tools with tiered usage limits.
