The fast Nano Banana model
Nano Banana 2 is the quick, affordable Nano Banana model. Use it for ideas, everyday edits and batches of variations, and move to Pro only when a result needs the extra detail.
Nano Banana 2 is the fast, lower-cost model in the Nano Banana family of Google Gemini image models. On NanoBanana it costs 20 credits per image at 1K, 2K or 4K, makes up to 4 images per run and accepts up to 8 reference images for edits and consistent characters. It is the default model for most everyday work.

Nano Banana 2 is a newer generation of the Nano Banana image model, tuned for speed and cost. It keeps what made Nano Banana popular, editing photos from plain instructions and keeping characters consistent, while returning results quickly enough for real back-and-forth work.
On NanoBanana it is the default model: most edits, social images and concept drafts never need anything more.
Choose Nano Banana Pro when a single image has to carry a lot: dense or small text, infographics and diagrams, many subjects in exact positions, or a final 4K image for print. Pro costs 45 credits per image and takes longer, so a common workflow is to explore with Nano Banana 2 and render the final version with Pro.
