Google Unveils Nano Banana Pro AI Image Tool: Supports Multilingual Text Rendering and 14-Element Blending

Summary

Google released Nano Banana Pro on November 20, 2025 (EST), a next-generation AI image generation and editing tool built on Gemini 3 Pro. The model achieves breakthrough capabilities in text rendering, multi-element blending, and creative control, supporting clear and legible multilingual text generation within images. It can blend up to 14 image elements while maintaining consistency across up to 5 people. Nano Banana Pro is now available across Gemini app, Google Ads, Workspace and other products, with limited quotas for free users and higher limits for subscribers.

Google announced the launch of Nano Banana Pro on November 20, 2025 (EST), marking a significant upgrade from the original Nano Banana released in August this year. Built on Google's latest Gemini 3 Pro model, Nano Banana Pro represents the company's most advanced achievement in AI image generation technology.

The core breakthroughs of Nano Banana Pro are manifested in three key areas. First, the model demonstrates remarkable advancement in text rendering capabilities, able to generate clear, accurate, and legible text directly within images. It supports various formats from short taglines to long paragraphs and enables multilingual text generation with localization and translation features. This allows users to create posters, infographics, and diagrams containing complex textual information.

Second, Nano Banana Pro possesses powerful multi-element blending capabilities. The model can simultaneously process up to 14 image elements while maintaining facial consistency across up to 5 people. This functionality enables users to transform sketches into product prototypes, convert blueprints into photorealistic 3D structures, or create complex composite scenes while maintaining brand visual consistency.

Third, Nano Banana Pro offers professional-grade creative control features. Users can adjust camera angles, change focus points, apply color grading, and even transform scene lighting effects. The model supports localized editing, allowing users to select, refine, and transform any part of an image, with support for multiple aspect ratios and output resolutions up to 2K and 4K.

Nano Banana Pro can also connect to Google Search's knowledge base to retrieve real-time information such as weather or sports scores, creating context-rich infographics and educational content based on real-world data. This capability enables the tool to not only create visually appealing images but also generate educational and informative visual content.

In terms of product availability, Nano Banana Pro has launched across multiple Google products. Consumers and students can access Nano Banana Pro in the Gemini app by selecting the "Create images" feature with the "Thinking" model. Free users receive limited quotas and automatically revert to the original Nano Banana model after reaching the limit. Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers enjoy higher usage quotas.

For professional users, image generation in Google Ads has been upgraded to Nano Banana Pro, and the feature is rolling out to Workspace applications including Google Slides and Vids. Developers and enterprise users can access the model through Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI. Additionally, Google AI Ultra subscribers can use Nano Banana Pro in Flow, the AI filmmaking tool.

Regarding AI content identification, Google has implemented multiple measures to ensure transparency. All media generated by Google's tools are embedded with the imperceptible SynthID digital watermark. Users can now directly upload images in the Gemini app and ask whether they were generated by Google AI. Images generated by free users and Google AI Pro users will carry a visible Gemini sparkle watermark, while images generated by Google AI Ultra subscribers and the Google AI Studio developer tool have the visible watermark removed.

The original Nano Banana quickly went viral after its August release, with its ability to transform selfies into hyperrealistic 3D figurines creating a social media sensation. According to Josh Woodward, Vice President of Google Labs and Gemini, Nano Banana brought 13 million new users to the Gemini app within four days. The Gemini app currently has over 650 million monthly active users, while Gemini-powered AI Overviews reaches 2 billion monthly users.

The launch of Nano Banana Pro comes amid intense competition between Google and OpenAI in the generative AI space. OpenAI's ChatGPT currently tops the list of free apps on Apple's App Store, with Gemini in second place. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in October that ChatGPT had reached 800 million weekly active users.

Beyond Nano Banana Pro, Google is actively expanding its AI product portfolio. The company continues to promote Flow, its AI filmmaking tool, and Genie, a "world building" model currently available as a limited research preview.

Adobe has also announced integration of Nano Banana Pro into Firefly and Photoshop. Until December 1, Creative Cloud Pro and Firefly plan subscribers can generate unlimited images using Firefly image models and partner models in the Firefly app.

Regarding market demand for AI image generation, Woodward noted that many users are signing up for Gemini's subscription plans to access higher usage limits. He called this "the best problem to have," with strong demand that the company is working to meet.

Analysts point out that the release of Nano Banana Pro marks a new phase in AI image generation technology, shifting from simple image creation toward greater emphasis on text rendering accuracy, multi-element blending, and professional-grade control. Application scenarios have also expanded from personal creative expression to professional design, advertising creation, and enterprise-level applications.

Following the launches of Nano Banana Pro and Gemini 3 Pro, Alphabet's stock rose 4% on November 21, reaching record highs. This reflects market recognition of Google's continued innovation capabilities in the AI field.
