Google's new AI image creator took my shirt off
"Powered by Gemini 3, it's effectively an upgrade of the company's popular image generation and editing tool that went viral in a social media trend that turned selfies into hyperrealistic 3D figurines. Google says it lets you create higher quality images that you can print, render legible text onto pictures, and blend multiple images together into a single composition. It's also meant for "people who want to feel like professionals," Naina Raisinghani, a product manager at Google DeepMind, told The Verge."
"I gave Google's new Nano Banana Pro a try, and it immediately took my clothes off. I didn't ask it to, but the AI model evidently decided my greetings card would look better with more skin. That sounds good, because I am by no means a professional. For me, the results were glossy, but goofy. It looked good, but felt amateurish. Using Nano Banana Pro is pretty simple: you go into the Gemini app, select "create images," and toggle on the 'thinking' mode. Just plug in your prompt (and image, if you're using one) and go."
Nano Banana Pro is an image-generation and editing tool powered by Gemini 3 aimed at professionals. The tool upgrades a prior image tool, enabling higher-quality, printable images, legible rendered text, and the blending of multiple images into single compositions. The interface requires selecting create images in the Gemini app, toggling thinking mode, and entering a prompt and optional image. The feature is offered for free with usage quotas. Outputs can appear glossy and high-quality but sometimes feel goofy or amateurish and can perform inappropriate edits such as removing clothing from subjects.
