TL;DR
Google has released Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image), its new image generation and editing model built on Gemini 3 Pro. Key capabilities include accurate text rendering directly in images across multiple languages, integration with Google Search for real-time information visualisation, and support for blending up to 14 input images whilst maintaining consistency of up to 5 people. The model includes SynthID watermarking and is rolling out across consumer, professional, and enterprise products.
Advanced Text and Context Capabilities for Visual Content
Nano Banana Pro addresses two persistent challenges in AI image generation: accurate text rendering and contextual information integration. The model leverages Gemini 3 Pro’s enhanced reasoning to generate legible text directly in images—from short taglines to longer paragraphs—with support for multiple languages. This enables practical applications like multilingual mockups, poster creation with varied textures and fonts, and content localisation for international audiences.
The integration with Google Search’s knowledge base enables real-time information visualisation—creating recipe infographics, weather snapshots, or sports updates grounded in current data. Users can generate context-rich educational explainers, diagrams based on provided content, or visualisations derived from real-world facts rather than purely synthetic training data.
For professional workflows, Nano Banana Pro introduces studio-quality creative controls including localised editing (select, refine, and transform image sections), camera angle adjustments, colour grading, and scene lighting transformation. The model supports composition with up to 14 input images whilst maintaining consistency and resemblance of up to 5 people—bridging the gap between concept sketches and photorealistic 3D structures or maintaining brand consistency across multiple touchpoints.
Output flexibility includes multiple aspect ratios and 2K/4K resolution options for cross-platform deployment. Google is embedding SynthID digital watermarks in all generated media, with visible watermarks (Gemini sparkle) on free and Pro-tier images whilst removing them for Ultra subscribers and developer tools to provide a clean professional canvas.
Looking Forward
The rollout strategy signals Google’s positioning across market segments: upgrading Google Ads creative tools globally, integrating into Workspace (Slides, Vids) for professionals, making available via Gemini API and Vertex AI for developers and enterprises, and including in Flow for creatives and filmmakers. The simultaneous launch of in-app SynthID verification—allowing users to upload images and ask if Google AI generated them—addresses transparency concerns as synthetic media proliferates. The distinction between original Nano Banana (fast, casual editing) and Nano Banana Pro (complex, high-quality compositions) establishes a tiered model approach that balances accessibility with professional capability demands.
