Designers needing 4K and fine control of lighting and camera get the family's best, at about four times Nano Banana 2's price.
Kenning's take
What it does
Nano Banana Pro, or Gemini 3 Pro Image, is Google's image generation and editing model for complex, high-quality work. It is built on Gemini 3 Pro, renders clear text in several languages, and lets users change camera angles, lighting, focus and colour grading, with output up to 4K. It launched in the Gemini app, Google Ads, Workspace, NotebookLM and the Gemini API, and is now kept in the Gemini app for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers alongside the faster Nano Banana 2.
