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.

  • Built on Gemini 3 Pro reasoning
  • Legible text in multiple languages
  • Camera angle, lighting, focus and colour controls
  • 2K and 4K output with a range of aspect ratios
  • SynthID watermark checks in the Gemini app

Who it suits. Designers, marketers and Gemini subscribers who need detailed, accurate images and infographics.
