Nano Banana 2 is powered by Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Image model — the next generation of the Nano Banana family. It combines the speed Nano Banana is known for with significant quality upgrades: 4K resolution output, advanced text rendering, stronger character consistency, and search-grounded generation using real-time Google web data.
On CreateIO.ai, Nano Banana 2 costs 3 credits ($0.075) per image — a significant step up in quality at a fraction of what professional image APIs typically charge.
What's New in Nano Banana 2
4K Resolution Output
Nano Banana 2 supports 1K, 2K, and 4K output resolutions — making it suitable for print, high-resolution displays, and professional creative workflows where detail matters.
Search-Grounded Generation
Nano Banana 2 can draw on real-time Google Web Search data during generation. This means it can accurately render current products, recent events, real-world references, and knowledge that wasn't in the training data — a unique capability no other model on the platform has.
High-Fidelity Text Rendering
Sharp, accurate text within generated images — suitable for posters with body copy, UI mockups with real interface text, and marketing visuals with precise brand messaging.
Strong Character Consistency
Run a character through multiple generations — different poses, scenes, lighting — and Nano Banana 2 maintains visual identity consistently. Critical for sequential content, storyboards, or character-based workflows.
Advanced Instruction Following
Complex, multi-condition prompts are handled with precision. Specify spatial relationships, lighting conditions, compositional requirements, and style constraints — and get outputs that match them faithfully.
Ultra-Wide Aspect Ratios
Beyond standard formats, Nano Banana 2 supports unusual aspect ratios including 4:1, 1:4, and 8:1 — useful for panoramic scenes, vertical mobile content, and cinematic headers.

Best Use Cases
Impossible Selfies & Scene Transformation
Place subjects in environments, time periods, or fantastical settings that couldn't be photographed. Nano Banana 2's understanding of real-world context makes these transformations feel grounded and plausible.
Photo Combination & Merging
Blend multiple reference images — combine a face from one photo with a setting from another, or merge styles across multiple sources — with consistent lighting and perspective.
Marketing Visuals with Text Overlays
Create campaign imagery with product copy, pricing, call-to-action text, or multilingual messaging baked into the image with high readability.
Storyboard & Sequential Content
Generate consistent visual narratives across multiple frames. Nano Banana 2 remembers character identity and scene context across a series of related generations.
Fashion & Appearance Variation
Try a product, outfit, or design across different models, backgrounds, or lighting scenarios — rapidly generating a full range of commercial variants.
UI Asset Generation
Create interface components, screen mockups, and app screenshots with realistic UI text and accurate layout representations.
