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."
