7 ways Nano Banana 2 just got better and faster - how to try Google's latest image model

Google's Nano Banana 2 model boosts image generation speed while enhancing text and visual fidelity, offering up to 1,000 daily images for AI Ultra subscribers.

  • On Thursday, Google announced Nano Banana 2, officially Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, as the default model across Gemini and Google services, promising faster image generation with improved visual fidelity.
  • By fixing weak instruction-following and text rendering, Nano Banana 2 inherits Pro features and uses Gemini's real-world knowledge to keep up to five characters and 14 objects consistent.
  • Users can control output size and resolution within Gemini, setting aspect ratios from 512px to 4K, using presets/templates, and images are tagged with Google's SynthID and limited by subscription tiers.
  • Developers and creators will see Nano Banana 2 as the default across Gemini website and app, Google Search, Google Flow, AI Studio, and the Gemini API for developers, while paying users keep access to Nano Banana Pro and a `Redo with Pro` option.
  • The change lets creators produce more assets more quickly for commercial uses, with Google's SynthID marking images and usage limits varying by subscription plans AI Plus, AI Pro, and AI Ultra.
