Hands On With Google’s Nano Banana Pro Image Generator Leave a comment
Company AI slop feels inescapable in 2025. From web site banner adverts to outside billboards, pictures generated by companies utilizing AI instruments encompass me. Hell, even the bar down the road posts glad hour flyers with that distinctly hazy, amber glow of some AI graphics.
On Thursday, Google launched Nano Banana Professional, the corporate’s newest image-generating mannequin. Most of the updates on this launch are focused at company adoption, from placing Nano Banana Professional in Google Slides for enterprise displays to integrating the brand new mannequin with Google Advertisements for advertisers globally.
This “Professional” launch is an iteration on its Nano Banana mannequin that dropped earlier this 12 months. Nano Banana grew to become a viral sensation after customers began posting personalised motion figures and different meme-able creations on social media.
Nano Banana Professional builds out the AI instrument with a bevy of latest talents, like producing pictures in 4K decision. It’s free to check out inside Google’s Gemini app, with paid Google One subscribers having access to further generations.
One particular enchancment goes to be catnip for firms on this launch: textual content rendering. From my preliminary checks producing outputs with textual content, Nano Banana Professional improves on the wonky lettering and unusual misspellings frequent in lots of picture fashions, together with Google’s previous releases.
Google desires the photographs generated by this new mannequin—textual content and all—to be extra polished and production-ready for enterprise use circumstances. “Even when you’ve got one letter off it’s extremely apparent,” says Nicole Brichtova, a product lead for picture and video at Google DeepMind. “It is sort of like having palms with six fingers; it is the very first thing you see.” She says a part of the rationale Nano Banana Professional is ready to generate textual content extra cleanly is the swap to a extra highly effective underlying mannequin, Gemini 3 Professional.
