Image Generation

Nano Banana — Gemini Flash Image Generator

Google's Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image) delivers Pro-level quality at Flash speed. Generate images up to 4K with accurate text rendering, maintain consistency across 5 characters and 10 objects, and tap into Gemini's real-world knowledge for accurate landmarks and details. Available available on ComfyUI Web.

Why Use Nano Banana

Text to Image

Generate images from text with Gemini 3.1 Flash Image quality. Complex compositions, accurate objects, and detailed environments — at speeds previously reserved for draft models.

Multi-Reference Editing

Nano Banana 2 Edit accepts up to 14 reference images for context-aware editing. Style transfer, object insertion, text translation within images, and subject-consistent modifications.

Accurate Text in Images

Renders legible text directly in generated images — posters, marketing mockups, infographics, and product labels. Supports translation of embedded text between languages.

Up to 4K Resolution

Output from 512px to 4K widescreen. trial-credit tier generates at 1K; API access unlocks 2K–4K output with 10 aspect ratio options.

100% Cloud-Based

No GPU, no Python, no local setup. ComfyUI Web runs Nano Banana on cloud GPUs — works on any device with a browser.

How to Use Nano Banana on ComfyUI Web

Generate your first image in under a minute.

STEP 1

Choose a Mode

Select Text to Image for generation from scratch, or Edit mode to modify existing images with up to 14 reference inputs for context.

STEP 2

Write Your Prompt

Describe the image in detail. Nano Banana leverages Gemini's world knowledge — reference real landmarks, products, or concepts and the model renders them accurately.

STEP 3

Generate & Download

Click generate. Nano Banana produces results in seconds at Flash speed. Download at full resolution in JPEG or PNG.

What Is Nano Banana?

Nano Banana is Google's consumer-facing image generation model, built on the Gemini 3.1 Flash Image architecture. The name refers to the internal codename for Gemini's image capabilities — 'Nano Banana 2' is the second generation, released February 2026.

The model sits in an unusual position: it matches the quality of Gemini Pro Image (Google's premium tier) while running at Flash speed (Google's lightweight, fast tier). This makes it one of the few models that eliminate the traditional speed-vs-quality tradeoff in AI image generation.

Key Technical Differentiators

Subject consistency is Nano Banana 2's standout capability. The model maintains visual identity of up to 5 characters and 10 objects within a single workflow — useful for storyboarding, brand content, and multi-image campaigns where elements need to look identical across outputs.

World knowledge integration sets it apart from most image generators. Because it's built on Gemini, Nano Banana pulls from the model's understanding of real-world entities. Ask it to generate the Eiffel Tower, a specific car model, or a scientific diagram, and it produces accurate representations rather than generic approximations.

All outputs include SynthID digital watermarks and C2PA Content Credentials, making AI provenance verifiable — increasingly important for commercial and editorial use.

Nano Banana vs Flux and Seedream

Flux Dev offers more community ecosystem support (LoRA fine-tuning, extensive ComfyUI integrations) and broader stylistic range. Nano Banana trades that flexibility for speed and world knowledge accuracy.

Seedream V5 leads in text rendering accuracy for Chinese characters and achieves faster inference times (2–3 seconds). Nano Banana matches or exceeds Seedream on English text rendering and offers higher maximum resolution (4K vs Seedream's 4K native).

On ComfyUI Web, all three are available free. Nano Banana is the best choice when you need accurate real-world objects, brand-consistent multi-image output, or fast generation with strong text rendering.

Frequently Asked Questions
