Introducing Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), the latest state-of-the-art image model. Now you can get the advanced world knowledge, quality and reasoning you love in Nano Banana Pro, at lightning-fast speed. It’s faster, cheaper, and delivers nearly identical visual quality. With a significant boost in generation speed and a price that’s roughly half of Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana 2 sets a new benchmark for high-performance, cost-efficient AI design generation.
Try Both Models on AI Design
Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro are both available at AI Design, so you can compare them side by side, match them to your use cases, and build tiered workflows with the right model for each task. Visit our All-in-One AI Image Editor to get started.
Speed vs. Quality: The major difference
Nano Banana 2 Flash: Fast and Efficient
Nano Banana 2 Flash is aimed at speed and scale.
- Much faster image generation (possibly under 2 seconds for standard sizes)
- Lower cost per image compared to Pro
- Quality that’s “good enough” for most everyday needs—and often close to Pro
- Better performance when generating lots of images or using an API
Nano Banana Pro: Built for Quality
Nano Banana Pro takes its time. It spends longer on each image to get things right—how objects fit together, how lighting works, how the scene looks overall, and what you’re trying to create.
Because of that, you get:
The best image quality in the Nano Banana lineup
Very accurate text rendering (around 94% in tests)
Strong handling of complex scenes, even with up to 5 people staying consistent
Native 4K images with lots of detail
- The downside? It’s slower and costs more per image.
