Google launches Nano Banana Pro, a massive leap in AI image editing powered by Gemini 3 Pro

• Google has released Nano Banana Pro for Gemini 3 Pro users
• Key improvements in text rendering, consistency of characters, and studio effects
• Nanao Banana Pro 3 is available in Gemini, even for free-tier users, right now

Just a few short months after Google added the incredibly popular Nano Banana image generator to Gemini Flash 2.5, it has now launched Nano Banana Pro for users of Gemini 3 Pro.

Nano Banana Pro is available now in the Gemini app when you select Create images under the Thinking mode. Free-tier users get limited free quotas, after which they will revert to the original Nano Banana model.

AI Pro and Ultra subscribers receive higher quotas. Nano Banana Pro is also available in Search’s AI Mode for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S., and in NotebookLM for global subscribers.

Real-world info

Nano Banana Pro has several key improvements over the original Nano Banana. First, it can generate more accurate, context-rich visuals based on world knowledge and real-time information.

This is particularly useful if you are producing infographics and diagrams based on real-world facts, like the one shown above.

Nano Banana Pro also connects to Google Search’s vast knowledge base, which is again useful for real-time information like weather or sports.

Better text

Second, Nano Banana Pro can generate images with more accurate and legible text, in multiple languages.

Text generation in AI images has come a long way this year, but it’s still not perfect, so it will be interesting to see how legible text in Nano Banana Pro is compared to ChatGPT.

Google says that with Nano Banana Pro, “you can create more detailed text in mockups or posters with a wider variety of textures, fonts, and calligraphy. With Gemini’s enhanced multilingual reasoning, you can generate text in multiple languages, or localize and translate your content so you can scale internationally and/or share content more easily with friends and family.”

Improved consistency and blending

You can blend more elements than ever before in Nano Banana Pro, using up to 14 images and maintaining consistency and resemblance of up to five people.

The applications of this are mainly for business users, where people might want to turn initial sketches for a short video into blueprints, or create an image that combines a lot of different products.

Studio-quality controls

With Nano Banana Pro, you get new capabilities. You can select, refine, and transform any part of an image with better local editing. Google says you will be able to “adjust camera angles, change the focus and apply sophisticated color grading, or even transform scene lighting (e.g. changing day to night or creating a bokeh effect).

Your creations are ready for any platform, from social media to print, thanks to a range of available aspect ratios and available 2K and 4K resolution.”

Accessing Nano Banana Pro

In addition to accessing Nano Banana Pro in the Gemini app, as described earlier, there are other ways to access it. Developers and enterprise users will have access via the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Google Antigravity. Google AI Ultra subscribers will also have access to it in Flow, Google’s AI filmmaking tool for creatives, filmmakers, and marketers.

In addition, Nano Banana 3 is now accessible in Adobe Firefly and Photoshop. Adobe says it is offering unlimited image generations using Firefly and partner models – including Nano Banana Pro – in the Firefly app through December 1 (available to Creative Cloud Pro and Firefly plan subscribers).
