Nano Banana 2 combines Google’s Gemini 3.1 Flash Image base with 4K output, world knowledge, reliable text rendering, and multiple reference images. That combination keeps images consistent across multi-step edits.

Google made the stable API generally available on May 28, 2026. In the Gemini app, Nano Banana 2 replaces the Pro mode across several model paths, while Nano Banana Pro remains selectable for specialized work that needs especially high visual control.
