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. **Full access requires Google AI Pro ($19.99/mo)**—free and Google AI Plus users get Nano Banana 2 as the default in the Gemini app, with only limited Nano Banana Pro access through Google Flow. Access Nano Banana Pro via the three-dot model menu.
