What is Nano Banana 2.1?

Nano Banana 2.1 is Google's update to Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), the all-round Nano Banana model for creating and editing images. Google says it brings better image quality and realism, closer prompt following, steadier characters across edits, and more accurate text and infographic layouts.

The generator above opens on Nano Banana 2.1. The same picker holds Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro for detail-heavy professional work, Nano Banana 2 Lite for fast drafts, and the original Nano Banana.

What it does

Three things Nano Banana 2.1 does well

What each one lets you do, with an example.

Up to 10 references, one finished picture

Upload a person, an outfit, a pet and a chair, then describe the scene you want them in. Nano Banana 2.1 takes up to 10 reference images, and Google says it keeps up to four characters consistent across edits, so the people and products in the result still look like the ones you uploaded.

Text you can read inside the image

Posters, menus, packaging and greeting cards only work when the words are right. Google says Nano Banana 2.1 renders text and infographic layouts more accurately than Nano Banana 2, so headlines, labels and charts come out clean.

Any shape, up to 4K

Nano Banana 2.1 offers 14 aspect ratios, from a tall 1:8 banner to a wide 8:1 strip, plus the everyday 1:1, 9:16 and 16:9. Google says it fixed the tiling seams very wide and tall images could show at 2K and 4K. Draft at 1K, then run the version you like again at 2K or 4K on a paid plan.

Nano Banana 2.1 vs Nano Banana 2 on the same prompts

Six prompts on both models, side by side, plus what Google changed in 2.1.

Inside the generator

Nano Banana 2.1 generator features

Start from words, a photo, or both.

  • Text to image

    Start from a sentence when you have no photo yet. Name the subject first, then the setting, the light and the style, so the most important part leads the prompt.

  • Edit one photo

    Upload a single picture and describe only the change: a new background, a different outfit, a cleaner table. Everything you do not mention stays as it was.

  • Consistent characters

    Upload your character once and reuse the same reference for every scene, so the face and outfit match across a comic page, a storyboard or a set of posts.

  • Exact words in quotes

    Write any text that should appear in the picture inside quotes, and say where it goes, such as "headline at the top" or "label on the bag".

Where it helps

What people make with the Nano Banana 2.1 generator

Product shots, recurring characters, localized packaging and social images.

  • White skincare bottle with a pale yellow cap on a travertine pedestal with lemons and eucalyptus

    Online shops: the product in a styled scene

    Upload the product photo plus a few props or mood images, describe the setting, and get a listing image where the product still matches the real thing.

  • Four comic panels of the same red-haired girl in a yellow raincoat at a bus stop, on a bus, in a park and at a library

    Comics and storyboards: one character, many scenes

    Upload your character once and describe each panel. The same face, hair and outfit carry from the bus stop to the library door.

  • Two banana chip bags with the same design labeled BANANA CHIPS and CHIPS DE BANANE

    Packaging and ads: the same design in another language

    Upload the finished pack or poster and ask for the text in French, Spanish or Japanese. The layout, colors and photo stay as they were.

  • Overhead smoothie bowl topped with banana slices, blueberries and granola on yellow linen

    Social posts: the right shape for each feed

    Generate the same idea as a square post, a 9:16 story and a 16:9 cover, then download each one at the size you need.
