The fastest Nano Banana

Nano Banana 2 is powered by Gemini 3.1 Flash Image — Google’s most efficient image generation model. It delivers approximately 4× faster generation than Nano Banana Pro at roughly half the cost, while maintaining high output quality. At 1K resolution, images generate in 5–15 seconds; 4K takes 15–40 seconds. The model integrates real-time web search grounding, enabling accurate rendering of current products, events, and entities without requiring detailed prompts.

Prompting tips

  • Use it for exploration first — Nano Banana 2’s speed makes it ideal for validating compositions before upgrading to Nano Banana Pro or ImagineArt 2.0 for final output.
  • Reference images do the heavy lifting — Rather than describing every detail in text, pass reference images. The model excels at compositing from visual references.
  • Let web grounding handle known subjects — For branded products, logos, or real-world locations, name them directly instead of describing them. The grounding handles the rest.

Example prompts

A sleek wireless speaker on a white marble surface, soft diffused studio lighting, product photography, crisp shadow.
A woman in a yellow raincoat standing on a mountain ridge, dramatic storm clouds, cinematic photography.
