Google’s popular Nano Banana image generator has received a significant upgrade with the launch of Nano Banana Pro, now integrated into the Gemini app for all users. This enhanced model delivers superior reasoning and prompt-following capabilities, enabling the creation of more precise images featuring readable text and allowing detailed edits to existing visuals. While accessible to everyone, free users will quickly encounter usage restrictions.
Officially named Gemini 3 Pro Image, following the naming convention where the original was Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, the tool retains its playful “Nano Banana Pro” branding. To use it, individuals simply select the Gemini 3 Pro model and activate the “Create images” feature.
The new model excels at interpreting complex instructions to produce highly accurate imagery. It can generate a complete, usable infographic in one attempt without the typical AI-generated text errors. Consistency is another strong suit; the tool can blend as many as 14 different images while preserving the appearance of up to five distinct people across outputs.
Demonstrating its advanced capabilities, the model successfully created an image depicting the phrase “How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood” physically constructed from wood pieces supposedly tossed by a woodchuck.
Editing functions have also seen major improvements. Users can now refine AI-generated pictures or upload a photograph for localized adjustments with fewer artificial glitches. The technology can modify fundamental aspects such as camera perspective, color treatment, and lighting conditions without disturbing other compositional elements. With support for resolutions up to 4K, Google is positioning Nano Banana Pro as a powerful tool for professional creative projects, offering substantially enhanced output quality for demanding applications.
