Nano Banana 2 - AI-generated image showcasing reasoning-guided generation quality

Think First. Generate Better.

Fast Generation. Full Fidelity.
Lightning-Fast Generation

Fast Generation. Full Fidelity.

Nano Banana 2 generates vibrant, high-fidelity images in 5-10 seconds. Built on Flash architecture, it reasons about composition and spatial relationships before rendering, but does it at speed. Rich color, punchy contrast, and coherent structure without the wait.

Typography That Actually Works
Accurate Text Rendering

Typography That Actually Works

Render legible, correctly spelled text directly in generated images across multiple languages. Nano Banana 2 handles signage, labels, watermarks, and typographic compositions with character-by-character validation. From product packaging to social media graphics, the text comes out right the first time.

Edit With Words, Not Masks
Natural-Language Editing

Edit With Words, Not Masks

Describe changes in plain language and Nano Banana 2 executes them. Replace backgrounds, change colors, add or remove objects, adjust lighting, all without masks or manual selection. Support for up to 14 reference images and multi-image compositing makes complex edits as simple as a sentence.


Endpoints

Generate and edit, one API

Text-to-image for new creations, image editing for refinements. Both endpoints share the same model and pricing.

FAQ

Common questions about Nano Banana 2

What is Nano Banana 2?

Nano Banana 2 is Google's next-generation image model built on the Gemini 3.1 Flash Image architecture. It combines reasoning-guided generation with speed and efficiency, producing high-fidelity images with accurate text rendering, character consistency, and natural-language editing, all in 5-10 seconds per generation.

What's new compared to Nano Banana 1?

Nano Banana 2 introduces reasoning-guided generation (the model plans before rendering), dramatically improved text rendering with character-by-character validation, native multi-resolution output (1K/2K/4K), character consistency for up to 5 people, multi-image compositing with up to 14 reference images, and optional web search grounding for real-world factuality. Generation speed is also significantly faster at 5-10 seconds per image.

What resolutions does Nano Banana 2 support?

Nano Banana 2 generates natively at 1K, 2K, and 4K resolution across a wide range of aspect ratios including 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9, 4:3, 3:2, and more. All resolutions are true native output, not upscaled.

How does image editing work?

The editing endpoint accepts one or more reference images along with natural language instructions. Describe changes like "replace the background with a beach sunset" or "change the shirt color to blue" without providing masks. Supports up to 14 reference images and 1-4 output variations per request.

How much does Nano Banana 2 cost on fal.ai?

Pricing is pay-per-image with no minimums or subscriptions. Check the model page for the latest pricing details.

Can Nano Banana 2 render text accurately in images?

Yes. Nano Banana 2 achieves state-of-the-art accuracy in text rendering with character-by-character validation, producing legible typography in multiple languages directly within generated images. This makes it well suited for product packaging, signage, social media graphics, infographics, and any visual that requires readable text.

How do I get started with the API?

Install the fal.ai SDK (Python or JavaScript), grab an API key from your dashboard, and make your first request in a few lines of code. The API is serverless, so there are no GPUs to manage and no infrastructure to set up. Check the API documentation for all available parameters.

Can I use Nano Banana 2 for commercial projects?

Yes. Images generated through the fal.ai API can be used in commercial projects. All outputs include SynthID digital watermarking for provenance. Check fal.ai's terms of service for full details on usage rights and licensing.
