Nano Banana 2 is Google's general-purpose Gemini image model, the one Google calls Gemini 3.1 Flash Image. Use it when you already know the picture and want a finished frame, including words that have to read inside it.
What it is good at
Google describes Nano Banana 2 as pro-level image generation and editing at Flash speed, drawing on Gemini's knowledge of the world. It is the everyday model in this family: detailed enough to commit to, without being the studio model.
How to use it on Visxy
Write the picture in the prompt. To edit or combine pictures, attach one to four of them and name them @image1, @image2, @image3, and @image4 in the prompt.
Where it differs
Nano Banana 2 Lite is Google's fastest Gemini image model, for trying an idea. Nano Banana Pro is the one Google describes as studio-quality precision. Nano Banana 2.1 is the newer update of this model. Imagen 4 makes a picture from text only.
FAQ
Can I edit with Nano Banana 2?
Yes. Attach one to four pictures and name them @image1 onward in the prompt.
Is this Imagen 4?
No. Imagen 4 is a separate Google model, and it does not take a picture to edit. Nano Banana 2 generates and edits.
When should I open Pro?
Open Pro when the frame has to hold type, a dense layout, or a product that must stay itself. Google describes Pro as the model for that kind of control.
Does the prompt get rewritten for me?
No. What you write is what this model receives. Models that can expand a prompt say so, and that switch starts off.
