Question 1

What is Nano Banana?

Accepted Answer

Nano Banana is the name for Gemini's native image generation capabilities, available inside Runway. Using a text prompt and optional reference images, it can generate, edit and composite images with a high degree of creative control.

Question 2

What's the difference between Nano Banana, Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana Pro 2?

Accepted Answer

Nano Banana is optimized for speed and high-volume tasks: it generates at 1K resolution and supports up to 3 reference images. Nano Banana Pro is built for professional asset production, with up to 4K resolution, up to 14 reference images and stronger in-image text rendering. Nano Banana Pro 2 (also called Nano Banana 2) is the recommended starting point for most workflows — the best balance of quality, speed and intelligence, with the same 4K ceiling and 14-image support as Pro. Nano Banana Pro 2 Lite is a faster, more budget-friendly variant for exploration and high-volume drafts.

Describe the full scene in sentences rather than keyword lists, include context and intent, and use photographic language — shot type, lens, lighting — to control composition. If you include reference images, describe how each one should be used.
