The standout feature of Nano Banana 2 is its Google Search integration. The model can leverage real-time web data to generate more accurate depictions of:

  • Real places and landmarks with accurate architectural details

  • Public figures and celebrities with better likeness

Simply toggle the Google Search option when creating your image, and the model will use web context to enhance accuracy.

  • 16:9 - YouTube thumbnails, presentations
  • 4:3 / 3:4 - Traditional photo format
  • 21:9 - Ultra-wide cinematic banners
  • 4:1 / 1:4 - Panoramic banners, vertical signage
  • 8:1 / 1:8 - Ultra-panoramic headers, vertical scrolls
  • Auto - Let AI choose the best ratio

Generate images at three quality tiers:

  • 1K (5 credits) - Fast generation for drafts and social media
  • 2K (10 credits) - High quality for web use
  • 4K (20 credits) - Ultra-high resolution for print
