At its core, Nano Banana Pro is the professional-grade evolution of Nano Banana, offering higher image resolution, better visual consistency, multilingual text rendering, and tighter creative control. Built on Google’s Gemini 3 Pro Image model, Nano Banana Pro elevates the earlier Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) into a full studio-quality design engine.
If Nano Banana was made for quick edits and casual creativity, Nano Banana Pro is built for serious creators, designers, and AI-driven brands.
As an all-in-one AI platform, GlobalGPT is an excellent choice for accessing Nano Banana. It eliminates the hassle of switching between multiple apps, allowing you to generate 4K images with Nano Banana Pro.
