Hands On With Google’s Nano Banana Pro Image Generator

corporate ai slope Feels inevitable in 2025. From website banner ads to outdoor billboards, images generated by businesses using AI tools surround me. Heck, even the bar down the street posts happy hour flyers with the clearly blurry, amber glow of some AI graphics.

On Thursday, Google launched the company’s latest image generating model Nano Banana Pro. Many of the updates in this release are targeted at corporate adoption, from plugging Nano Banana Pro into Google Slides for business presentations to integrating the new model with Google Ads for advertisers globally.

This “Pro” release is a repeat of its Nano Banana model that was launched earlier this year. The Nano Banana became a viral sensation when users began posting personalized action figures and other memorabilia creations on social media.

Nano Banana Pro builds on AI tools with several new capabilities, such as creating images in 4K resolution. It’s free to try inside Google’s Gemini app, with paid Google One subscribers getting access to additional generations.

There’s one specific improvement that’s going to prove useful for corporations in this release: text rendering. From my initial tests generating output with text, Nano Banana Pro improves on the odd letters and odd misspellings common in many image models, including Google’s previous releases.

Google wants the images generated by this new model – text and all – to be more polished and production-ready for business use cases. “Even if you have even one character blank, it’s very obvious,” says Nicole Brichtova, product lead for images and video at Google DeepMind. “It’s like hands with six fingers; it’s the first thing you see.” She says one reason the Nano Banana Pro is able to produce text more cleanly is due to the switch to a more powerful built-in model, the Gemini 3 Pro.
