In August of last year, our Gemini Image model, Nano Banana, became a viral sensation, redefining image generation and editing. Then in November, we released Nano Banana Pro, offering users advanced intelligence and studio-quality creative control. Today, we’re bringing the best of both worlds to users across Google.

Introducing Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), our latest state-of-the-art image model. Now you can get the advanced world knowledge, quality and reasoning you love in Nano Banana Pro, at lightning-fast speed.

Intelligence and visual quality at Flash speed

Nano Banana 2 brings the high-speed intelligence of Gemini Flash to visual generation, making rapid edits and iteration possible. It makes once-exclusive Pro features accessible to a wider audience, including:

Advanced world knowledge: The model pulls from Gemini’s real-world knowledge base, and is powered by real-time information and images from web search to more accurately render specific subjects. This deep understanding also helps you create infographics, turn notes into diagrams and generate data visualizations.
Precision text rendering and translation: Nano Banana 2 allows you to generate accurate, legible text for marketing mockups or greeting cards. You can even translate and localize text within an image to share your ideas globally.
