It’s official. The AI image model that’s been making waves in pre-release testing, affectionately dubbed “Nano Banana Pro” by the community, has arrived. Google has formally launched this powerhouse as Gemini 3 Pro Image, and it represents a massive leap forward in creative artificial intelligence.
Powered by the reasoning capabilities of the new Gemini 3 model, Nano Banana Pro isn’t just about generating pretty pictures; it’s about deeply understanding your creative intent to deliver results with unprecedented precision and control.
Here’s everything you need to know about what’s new and how you can start using it today.
What’s New in Nano Banana Pro?
This isn’t a minor update. Nano Banana Pro brings a suite of professional-grade features that address some of the biggest challenges in AI image generation.
1. Perfect Text Rendering
This is a game-changer. For years, AI models have struggled to generate legible text, often producing garbled, alien-like squiggles. Nano Banana Pro solves this. You can now create posters, infographics, diagrams, and UI mockups with perfectly clear, accurate text. Thanks to Gemini 3’s multilingual reasoning, it even works across multiple languages.
2. Unmatched Consistency and Control
Have a specific character or product you need to place in different scenes? Nano Banana Pro excels at maintaining consistency.
- Reference Images: You can upload up to 14 reference images to guide the generation process, ensuring the final output matches the style, character, or object you have in mind.
- Character Persistence: The model can maintain the visual identity of up to five different people within a single, complex composition.
3. Studio-Quality Editing Tools
You no longer need to be a Photoshop wizard to make precise edits. With simple text prompts, you can now control photographic elements like:
- Lighting: Change the time of day, add dramatic shadows, or create soft, diffused lighting.
- Camera Angles & Focus: Shift perspective, adjust the depth of field, or create a bokeh effect to make your subject pop.
- Localized Edits: Select and transform specific parts of an image without affecting the rest of the scene.
4. High-Fidelity 4K Output
For professional workflows, details matter. Nano Banana Pro creates stunningly detailed, photorealistic images in resolutions up to 4K, making them ready for print and high-end digital displays.
How to Access Nano Banana Pro
Google is making this powerful new model widely available across its ecosystem and through partners. Here is how you can try it out:
- For Everyone (Free & Paid):
- Gemini App: The easiest way to try it is through the Gemini app on the web or mobile. Simply switch to the “Thinking” model (Gemini 3) and start a prompt with “create an image.” Free users will have a limited quota before reverting to a standard model, while Gemini Advanced subscribers get higher limits.
- For Developers & Professionals:
- Google AI Studio & Gemini API: Developers can integrate Gemini 3 Pro Image directly into their applications.
- Adobe Creative Cloud: In a major partnership, the model is integrated directly into Adobe Photoshop (via Generative Fill) and Adobe Firefly, giving creatives access to these tools within their existing workflows.
- In Google Workspace:
- Look for these capabilities to appear in tools like Google Slides and the upcoming Google Vids for Workspace customers, making it easier to create visuals for presentations and videos.
Whether you’re a professional designer looking for a powerful new tool or just someone who wants to create amazing memes with perfect text, “Nano Banana Pro” is ready for you to explore. Go give it a try!
