Advanced Options
Nano Banana 2 is the common name for Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (model ID gemini-3.1-flash-image). It is the workhorse of the Nano Banana family: it pulls in real-world knowledge through Google Search and Image Search grounding, holds a person or a product steady across up to 14 reference images, renders and even translates the text inside a picture, and goes all the way to 4K — while staying on the Flash side of the speed and cost curve. It is the balanced pick for most day-to-day production work.
Four things it does that a plain text-to-image model can't
It can look the world up before it paints it
Ask Nano Banana 2 for a real place and you get that place, not a generic impression of it. Grounding through Google Search and Image Search means landmarks, current conditions and factual subjects come from something more reliable than what the model happened to memorise during training. Useful for travel visuals, education content and anything where getting reality wrong is embarrassing.
A photorealistic travel photograph of the Shanghai Bund waterfront at blue hour, shot from the promenade on the west bank looking east across the Huangpu River. The skyline is accurate: the Oriental Pearl Tower with its distinct spheres on the left, the bottle-opener Shanghai World Financial Center and the twisting Shanghai Tower behind it, all lit against a deep indigo sky. In the near foreground, the historic stone balustrade of the Bund. Long-exposure boat light trails on the water, wet pavement reflections, crisp architectural detail.The same face, across a whole series
Feed Nano Banana 2 up to 14 references — as many as 10 for objects and 4 for people — and it keeps track of who is who and what the product looks like. That is what turns one-off image generation into a series: the same character through four panels, the same bottle across a dozen scenes, without redrawing the brief every time.
A four-panel storyboard laid out as a 2x2 grid with thin white gutters between panels. The SAME character appears in all four panels and must stay recognisably identical: a young woman with short copper hair, round tortoiseshell glasses, and a rust-orange canvas jacket. Panel 1: she sits on a train by the window at dawn, sketchbook on her lap. Panel 2: she walks a narrow alley market carrying the sketchbook. Panel 3: she sits on stone steps drawing, warm noon light. Panel 4: she stands on a rooftop at dusk, city lights behind her. Consistent warm cinematic colour grade across all four, identical face and jacket in every panel.Translate the poster, not just the copy
In-image localization is where Nano Banana 2 earns its keep: it takes a finished layout and re-renders the text in another language while the photograph, the colour blocks and the typographic hierarchy stay put. One creative, several markets, without rebuilding the artwork each time. Proofread before it ships — but the structure survives the trip.
Two versions of the same printed advertisement poster lying side by side, shot straight down, equal size. Both share an identical design: a pair of white running shoes on a bold coral background, same photograph, same layout, same colour blocks. The LEFT poster is English — a large headline reading exactly "RUN LIGHTER" with a smaller line beneath reading exactly "New Season Collection". The RIGHT poster is Simplified Chinese — the same design with the headline replaced by "轻盈开跑" and the smaller line replaced by "当季新品". The Chinese version keeps the same typographic hierarchy and alignment as the English one.One product, as many scenes as you need
Upload the product, then let Nano Banana 2 move it anywhere: a trailside boulder, a studio sweep, a kitchen counter. The shape, finish and proportions come along unchanged, so the catalogue still looks like the same object. Cheap and quick enough that testing thirty backdrops is a normal Tuesday rather than a shoot.
A commercial e-commerce lifestyle photograph of a matte sage-green insulated water bottle with a bamboo lid, standing on a sun-warmed granite boulder beside a mountain trail. Behind it, soft out-of-focus pine forest and morning haze. The bottle itself is tack sharp and rendered as a real manufactured object: consistent matte texture, a crisp anodised rim, a subtle seam under the lid, believable proportions. Warm directional morning light from the right, natural colour, shallow depth of field.- Nano Banana 2 runs on Google Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (gemini-3.1-flash-image)
