Poster and campaign designers
Headline, sub-line and small print all come out readable, so a first draft is close to a layout you can send for review. Localise the same poster into three languages without rebuilding it.

Discover Nano Banana Pro's Endless Possibilities
Feature 01
Improvements in Prompt IntelligenceIt Reasons Before It Renders
Nano Banana Pro is built on Gemini 3 Pro, and it inherits that model's reasoning. Every request goes through a thinking pass first: Google's API documentation says this step is on by default and cannot be switched off, and the interim draft images it produces are not billed. In practice a long Nano Banana Pro brief with five subjects, a camera angle and a colour rule comes back with each part in place, instead of the two or three details a lighter model tends to keep.
- Thinking pass runs on every request, at no extra charge for the drafts
- Long, multi-clause prompts keep all their constraints
- Search grounding pulls real-time facts such as weather or scores into the image
Feature 02
Typography Rendering ImprovementsFrom a Tagline to a Full Paragraph
Google calls Nano Banana Pro its best model for correctly rendered, legible text inside an image, whether the copy is a three-word tagline or a whole paragraph. You can ask for a specific font style, calligraphy, or handwriting, and you can translate the text already in an image into another language while the layout stays put. That makes Nano Banana Pro the model to reach for when a poster, a menu, or a packaging mockup has to ship in several markets.
- Legible headlines, labels and body copy in the same image
- Font, calligraphy and handwriting styles on request
- Translate and localise text inside an existing design
Feature 03
Lighting and Physics EnhancementsRelight a Scene with One Sentence
You can turn day into night, add a bokeh background, or push harsh chiaroscuro light across a face while the subject keeps their features. Google lists colour grading, light direction and focus changes among the Pro-level creative controls, and the reasoning pass keeps shadows falling the way the light source says they should. For product shots this means one base photo can become a sunset, a studio and a neon-street version without a reshoot.
- Day-to-night and golden-hour relighting on an existing photo
- Colour grading and directional light by instruction
- Shadows and reflections stay consistent with the light source
Feature 04
Better Composition ControlChoose the Shot, Not Just the Subject
Wide angle, panoramic, close-up, a shallow depth of field on the flowers in the foreground: Nano Banana Pro follows camera language the way a photographer would. It also supports localized editing, so you can select one area of the frame and change only that part. Adapting the same scene from a 16:9 banner to a 9:16 story is a prompt, not a redesign.
- Camera angle, shot type and focal point by instruction
- Localized edits that leave the rest of the frame untouched
- Re-frame one scene for landscape and portrait placements
Feature 05
Native 1K, 2K and 4K Output1K, 2K and 4K Straight from the Model
Google documents 1K, 2K and 4K as native output sizes for Nano Banana Pro, so the 4K file is generated at that size rather than stretched afterwards. On Ricebowl the Nano Banana Pro 1K and 2K tiers cost the same 8 credits and 4K costs 14. There is no reason to render at 1K here: 2K is free extra detail. Keep 4K for print, large displays, or any image you expect to crop.
- Native 1K, 2K and 4K output
- 2K costs the same 8 credits as 1K on Ricebowl
- 4K at 14 credits for print and heavy crops
Feature 06
Maximum Support for 14 Image UploadsBlend Many Inputs, Keep Every Face
Google built Nano Banana Pro to blend up to 14 input images in one composition and keep the resemblance of up to five people. That is how a sketch becomes a product render, or six separate portraits become one group editorial. One honest note: the model accepts 14 images through Google's API, while the Ricebowl uploader currently takes up to 8 references per generation. Eight covers a face, an outfit, a product and a location with room to spare.
- Up to 14 inputs at the model level, 8 per request on Ricebowl today
- Resemblance held for up to five people
- Sketches, blueprints and mood boards as references

USE CASES
Who Uses Nano Banana Pro
Infographic and explainer makers
The model draws on Gemini's world knowledge to turn notes into diagrams, recipes into step-by-step cards, and live data such as weather into a chart. Check the facts before publishing, as Google itself advises.
E-commerce and product teams
Upload the product once, then relight it, re-stage it and re-frame it for every channel. Brand details stay consistent across the batch, which is what a catalogue needs.
Architects and industrial designers
Turn a hand sketch or a blueprint into a photorealistic render, then keep the design locked while you try different materials, times of day and camera angles.
Agencies localising content
Translate the text inside an existing visual and keep the product, the model and the layout the same. One master image becomes a set of market-ready versions in minutes.
WHAT USERS SAY
What Creators Keep Pointing Out
01
Text is finally usable
The recurring comment is that posters and labels come out spelled correctly often enough to use, including longer lines of copy that older models turned into noise.
02
It is slower than the Flash models
The reasoning pass costs time. People who iterate fast drafts switch to Nano Banana 2 for exploration and come back to the Pro model for the final frame.
03
Relighting feels like a real photo edit
Day-to-night and light-direction changes keep the subject intact, which is the edit photographers ask about first.
04
Facts still need a check
Infographics look authoritative, which is exactly why Google tells users to verify data-driven output. Treat numbers in a generated chart as a draft.
WHAT SETS IT APART
What Makes Nano Banana Pro Stand Out
01
Is 4K Worth the Extra Credits
Only for print, big screens and heavy crops. On Ricebowl a 4K render is 14 credits against 8 for 2K, a 75% premium. A social feed compresses everything to a fraction of 2K anyway, so 4K there is money spent on pixels nobody sees. Render at 2K by default, which costs the same as 1K, and switch to 4K for the one file that goes to the printer.
02
No Gemini subscription needed
Since February 2026 the Gemini app uses Nano Banana 2 by default, and only Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can reach the Pro model through the regenerate menu. On Ricebowl you select Nano Banana Pro directly in the model picker and pay per image in credits.
03
Google's premium image tier
Google's own model guide describes it as the premium choice for the most complex visual tasks, with the highest level of world knowledge, advanced localization and precise creative control in the family.
OUR TAKE
Our Verdict on Nano Banana Pro
Pro or Nano Banana 2: when is Pro worth it?
On Ricebowl, Nano Banana Pro is not the expensive option. It costs the same 8 credits as Nano Banana 2 at 1K and is cheaper at 2K (8 vs 12) and 4K (14 vs 18). Use Pro for every final image at 2K or 4K. Use Nano Banana 2 only when you are iterating quickly and want Flash speed or its image-search grounding.
Text-heavy posters: Pro or GPT Image 2?
Nano Banana Pro. Google positions it as its best model for legible text from a tagline to a paragraph, with in-image translation. OpenAI's own documentation still lists precise text placement as a GPT Image limitation. For a single-line title or label, GPT Image 2 is the steadier pick, and for text that must sit at an exact position, Ideogram 4. Pro is also cheaper on Ricebowl at 2K (8 vs 10 credits) and 4K (14 vs 16).
Should you turn on 4K?
Not by default. Start every job at 2K, which costs the same as 1K. Turn on 4K only for print, signage or a crop you already know you need. That single rule saves 6 credits on every image that never leaves a screen.

FAQs
What the model is, what it costs on Ricebowl, and how it compares with Nano Banana 2.
Try Nano Banana Pro FreeIs Google Nano Banana Pro free?
You can try Nano Banana Pro for free. New Ricebowl accounts get 20 free credits on sign-up, and a 1K or 2K image costs 8 credits, so your first two generations need no card. After that you pay per image with credits from a plan or a top-up. Google's own Gemini app limits the Pro model to paid Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
What is Google Nano Banana Pro?
It is the nickname of Gemini 3 Pro Image, the image generation and editing model Google DeepMind released on November 20, 2025. Built on Gemini 3 Pro, it reasons about the prompt before rendering, writes legible text in multiple languages, blends many input images, and outputs at 1K, 2K or 4K.
What makes Nano Banana Pro stand out?
Three things: text that stays legible from a short tagline to a full paragraph, studio-style controls over lighting, focus and camera angle, and the deepest world knowledge in Google's image family. Google describes it as the premium choice for the most complex visual tasks.
How can I use Nano Banana Pro for free?
Sign up on Ricebowl, open this page and generate with the model that is already selected. The 20 sign-up credits cover two 1K or 2K images at 8 credits each. You do not need a Gemini subscription, a Google Cloud project or an API key.
Nano Banana Pro vs Nano Banana 2: which one should I use?
On Ricebowl, use Pro for final images at 2K or 4K: it costs 8 and 14 credits against 12 and 18 for Nano Banana 2. Use Nano Banana 2 when speed matters more than the last bit of fidelity, or when you want Google Image Search grounding, which only the Flash model adds.
Can Nano Banana Pro render text in images?
Yes, and it is the main reason people pick it. Put the exact words in quotes in your prompt, name the font style you want, and say where the text goes. It can also translate text that is already inside an image while keeping the design.
What resolution does Nano Banana Pro support?
1K, 2K and 4K, all generated natively. On Ricebowl 1K and 2K both cost 8 credits and 4K costs 14. Aspect ratios in the Ricebowl generator are auto, 1:1, 16:9 and 9:16.
How many reference images can I upload?
Up to 8 per generation on Ricebowl. Google's API accepts up to 14 inputs for this model and keeps the resemblance of up to five people; Ricebowl's uploader is capped at 8 for now.
Are images watermarked?
Google embeds an invisible SynthID watermark in every image its Gemini image models create, so the output can be identified as AI-generated. There is no visible logo on the image.
Where can I use Nano Banana Pro online without a subscription?
Right here on Ricebowl. The generator at the top of this page runs Nano Banana Pro, your first image is covered by sign-up credits, and the same workspace also runs Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana 2 Lite, GPT Image 2 and 30+ other image and video models, so you can compare results without switching sites.
