Nano Banana Pro

Nano Banana Pro is Gemini's native image generation and editing model, built on Gemini 3 Pro. It's **distinct from Imagen**—optimized for conversational editing, character consistency, and multi-image fusion. Supports 1K-4K resolutions with SynthID watermarks. **Now requires a paid plan (AI Pro, $19.99/mo)**—free users get Nano Banana 2 as the default model instead. Access Nano Banana Pro via the three-dot model menu.
