Google Nano Banana was a real hit when it launched, with millions of users creating images using Google’s latest AI image generation service. One of our team members tested Nano Banana’s capabilities by creating social media posts and the results were surprisingly good.
However, like all other generative AI models, including ChatGPT, Nano Banana had problems creating images with text. The poor text rendering was always a clear indication that the images were generated by AI.
Google claims to have solved this problem with its latest Nano Banana 2 engine. It offers improved text rendering as well as several other useful upgrades.
A smarter, faster way to turn ideas into images
One of the biggest improvements that Nano Banana brings is how much the model “knows”. Nano Banana 2 can draw on Gemini’s broader world knowledge and pull real-time information and images from web searches.
Google says this makes Nano Banana 2 more accurate by creating infographics, turning notes into clear charts and generating accurate data visualizations.
Nano Banana 2 offers significantly improved text rendering and can not only produce readable and accurate text, but also translate text into other languages.
More control and improved consistency
Nano Banana 2 offers several more upgrades that allow users to create consistent and production-ready images. Key improvements include:
- Subject consistency: You can now maintain character likeness of up to five characters and 14 objects. This makes storyboarding and multi-scene narratives much more practical.
- Detailed instructions according to: Another big improvement is following instructions. Nano Banana 2 follows your complex prompts, captures specific nuances, and creates an accurate version of your idea.
- Production-ready specifications: Finally, you can generate images in any aspect ratio and resolution, making it easier for you to create assets for social media and other projects.
- Improving visual fidelity: Nano Banana 2 also promises richer textures, sharper details and more vibrant lighting, delivering noticeably better images than before.
More than just an upgrade
If what Google promises is anything close to reality, Nano Banana 2 will mark the next evolutionary stage in image creation. With high-resolution images, improved text rendering and character consistency across the project, Nano Banana 2 is shaping up to be a groundbreaking update.
