Google has unveiled Nano Banana Pro, a high-performance image generation and editing model built on Gemini 3 Pro, marking one of the company’s most sophisticated steps in visual AI so far. The new model offers studio-level control, stronger reasoning, and advanced intelligence aimed at creators, students, designers, advertisers, and developers around the world.

Nano Banana Pro arrives as the successor to the popular Nano Banana model launched earlier this year. While the original version expanded access to everyday AI creativity, this new upgrade delivers professional-grade outputs, higher accuracy, and improved factual grounding. It is engineered to help users convert any idea into detailed, high-fidelity visuals.

“This is the strongest model for creating images with correctly rendered and legible text directly inside the image, from short taglines to long paragraphs,” said Naina Raisinghani, Product Manager at Google DeepMind. She added that Nano Banana Pro blends creative freedom with advanced reasoning, setting a higher standard for reliable visual AI.

A Big Moment for Nigerian Creators and Students

Google highlighted that interest in AI tools is growing rapidly in Nigeria. Search queries for “AI for studying” have risen by over 200% in the past year, while “AI for graphic design” is among the country’s top trending technology searches.

Nano Banana Pro is positioned to support this momentum by providing more accurate academic visuals, reliable infographic generation, and professional-quality creative assets. Its blend of real-world knowledge and visual precision makes it suitable for students preparing projects, small businesses designing campaigns, and creators producing content directly on their phones.

Four Key Enhancements in Nano Banana Pro

1. Factual Visuals and Smarter Infographics

When enabled, Nano Banana Pro can connect directly to Google Search to retrieve real-time information and integrate it into images and diagrams. This allows users to produce context-rich illustrations, recipes, maps, sports breakdowns, or educational visuals with accurate details.

The company says the model will help people “generate more helpful content” with a stronger sense of real-world knowledge.

2. Clear and Accurate Text Rendering

One of the biggest problems with AI-generated images is distorted or unreadable text. Nano Banana Pro introduces significantly improved text rendering, supporting multiple languages with clear, precise wording inside posters, mockups, labels, or product concepts.

Google describes it as the model with the strongest text-integration capability so far. It also supports translation inside images, allowing creators to produce multilingual content or tailor campaigns for different regions.

3. Stronger Consistency Across Complex Scenes

Nano Banana Pro allows users to blend up to 14 reference images, maintaining consistent style, character likeness, and branding across full compositions. This is particularly relevant for advertising agencies, designers, and filmmakers.

The model can:

• Preserve the resemblance of up to five people across images

• Convert sketches into 3D-style visuals

• Combine logos, product shots, and brand palettes into cohesive designs

• Build surreal scenes or cinematic shots using multiple reference elements

Google says this “bridges the gap between concept and production-ready assets”.

4. Studio-Quality Photo Editing and Control

The new model supports refined, localised editing that allows users to:

• Adjust lighting (including day-to-night transitions)

• Change camera angles

• Alter focus and depth of field

• Apply colour grading

• Modify scenes without losing context

These controls are available across 2K and 4K resolution outputs, each suitable for social media visuals, marketing materials, or print campaigns.

5. Google Strengthens AI Transparency With SynthID

Alongside the new model, Google announced expanded transparency features to help users verify whether an image was generated or edited by Google AI.

With SynthID, the company’s invisible digital watermarking technology, users can upload an image into the Gemini app and ask questions like: “Did Google AI create this?”

Images generated via Nano Banana Pro, Google Ads, Vertex AI, and the Gemini app will include C2PA metadata for additional verification.

Google is also revising how visible watermarks appear:

• Free and Pro users will continue to receive images with the Gemini sparkle watermark

• Ultra-tier subscribers will receive clean visuals without the visible watermark, while SynthID remains active in the background

The company says this approach supports professional creators who need visually clean assets while maintaining responsible AI practices.

Global Rollout Across Google’s Ecosystem

Nano Banana Pro is launching worldwide across multiple Google platforms:

• Consumers and Students: Available in the Gemini app under the ‘Thinking’ model, with higher limits for Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers.

• Search (AI Mode): Now available to Pro and Ultra users in the U.S.

• NotebookLM: Accessible for global subscribers.

• Google Ads: Immediately upgraded to Nano Banana Pro for advertisers.

• Workspace: Rolling out to Google Slides and Vids.

• Developers and Enterprises: Available via the Gemini API, Vertex AI, and Google Antigravity, Google’s new agentic development platform.

In Antigravity, coding agents can now generate UI mockups or visual assets directly within workflows, while platforms like Adobe, Figma, Canva, HubX, and Photoroom are integrating Nano Banana Pro into their creative tools.

Major companies already testing the model report improved quality, enhanced character consistency, and smoother localisation for global campaigns.
