## What is Nano Banana 2?

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.


## When to switch to Nano Banana Pro

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.
