What Sets It Apart
Six core capabilities that make Nano Banana 2 the most versatile image model available

Image Search Grounding
A capability exclusive to Nano Banana 2. The model searches Google Images for visual references during generation, dramatically improving accuracy for real-world subjects like landmarks, celebrities, and brand assets.

Precision Text Rendering
Currently the leading model for in-image text generation. Produces accurate, legible text with improved spacing and formatting — ideal for marketing mockups, posters, greeting cards, and infographics.

Multi-Character Consistency
Maintain consistent appearance for up to 5 characters and fidelity across 14 objects in a single workflow. Perfect for comic strips, storyboards, brand mascots, and sequential narratives.

Style & Texture Transfer
Extract texture, color palette, or artistic style from any reference photo and apply it to new subjects. Experiment with aesthetics like oil painting, watercolor, pixel art, or photorealistic rendering without starting from scratch.

Natural Language Editing
Edit existing images with plain text instructions — swap backgrounds, remove objects, add elements, or change lighting conditions. The model preserves details you want to keep while precisely modifying what you describe.

Configurable Thinking
Control the model's reasoning depth: Minimal for instant results, High for complex scenes requiring spatial reasoning, or Dynamic to let the model decide. Tune the speed-quality tradeoff for your specific workflow.
