    Newest release, with 10 references and extreme banner frames.

    Which Nano Banana should I use?

    How the family fits together

    Every Nano Banana generates from a prompt and edits or combines images you attach. 2.1 is the newest, succeeding Nano Banana 2; older versions stay live under their own model ids, so tuned prompts keep their look.

    Getting more out of Nano Banana

    • Draft at 1K on 2.1, 2 or Pro, then rerun only the winner at 2K or 4K.
    • With several references, say what each one is for: product, background, palette.
    • Put on-image words in quotes and keep them short; a headline lands more easily than sentences.

    One credit balance covers images, video and audio. Pick the size that fits how much you make.

    Frequently asked questions

    • Not across the board. The limits match (1K to 4K, 8 references, same frames); Pro pays off where a slip in type or layout means a redo.

    • Every version takes the standard ten: 1:1, 4:5, 5:4, 3:4, 4:3, 2:3, 3:2, 9:16, 16:9 and 21:9, plus auto. Nano Banana 2.1 also renders 1:4, 4:1, 1:8 and 8:1.

    • No. It is always on for Nano Banana 2 and off for every other version, so moving a prompt from 2 to 2.1 also drops the lookup.

    • Yes. Under the terms of service you keep the rights to images generated from your prompts, subject to third-party rights in material you upload.

    • Yes. Each version keeps the same model id in Media Studio, the REST API and the MCP server, billed to the same wallet.
