What can Nano Banana 2 do for you?
Nano Banana 2 is not just an image generator — it's a full-featured AI image editor. With deep real-world knowledge and precise instruction-following, it handles complex creative work from generation to final polish.
Real-World Knowledge, Built In
Generate from facts, not just imagination
Nano Banana 2 pulls directly from Gemini's real-world knowledge base and live web search to render specific subjects with accuracy. Ask it to illustrate the layers of the Earth, map the water cycle, or visualize current weather data — and it will get the details right.
Features:
- Grounded in real-time web search and live data
- Accurately renders real places, people, and concepts
- Turn notes, data, and research into visual diagrams
- Create educational infographics that are factually correct
Powerful Image Editing, Instruction-Driven
Edit any part of your image with natural language
Nano Banana 2 is a full-featured AI image editor. Describe the change you want — remove an object, swap a background, adjust lighting, apply a style — and the model handles the rest. It remembers every detail of your image across multiple rounds of edits, so nothing gets lost no matter how many changes you make.
Features:
- Remove, replace, or recolor any element via text prompt
- Apply style transfers, lighting adjustments, and background swaps
- Localized editing: change one region while preserving the rest exactly
- Remembers full image context across long, multi-step editing sessions
Text That Actually Reads
Legible, styled text in 10+ languages
Most image models struggle with text. Nano Banana 2 doesn't. Render sharp, accurate typography directly into your images — from bold poster headlines to fine-print labels. Then localize it: translate the text inside your image into Hindi, German, Spanish, or any of 10+ supported languages without regenerating the scene.
Features:
- Accurate text rendering for posters, cards, and mockups
- Supports 10+ languages including Arabic, Hindi, and Japanese
- Translate and localize text within an existing image
- Control font style, weight, size, and layout via prompt
Characters That Stay Themselves
Up to 5 characters, 14 objects — scene after scene
Building a story means your characters need to look the same in every frame. Nano Banana 2 maintains the identity and appearance of up to 5 characters and the fidelity of up to 14 objects across an entire workflow — so your storyboard, comic strip, or product narrative stays visually coherent from start to finish.
Features:
- Consistent character identity across multiple generated images
