**Model ID:** `google-nano-banana-pro`

Nano Banana Pro is an image generation model that excels in generating studio-quality visuals with advanced text rendering, high-fidelity 2K and 4K outputs, and superior character consistency across multiple images. It is built on Google's Gemini 3 Pro Image architecture and leverages multimodal understanding for nuanced, context-aware creative direction rather than simple keyword matching.

It is designed for professional creative workflows, making it particularly effective for marketing campaigns, product visualization, and educational content requiring precise, legible text directly embedded in images.\
Nano Banana Pro supports complex editing tasks, such as multi-image fusion, localized edits, and maintaining branding consistency across diverse asset types.

Some other noteworthy features of Nano Banana Pro include multi-image blending (up to 14 images per generation), accurate infographic and diagram creation, and advanced controls for scene lighting, camera angle, and color grading.
