GOOGLE GROUNDED IMAGE MODEL
Nano Banana 2
Grounded image generation, wide aspect ratios and multi-reference edits for production-ready stills.
Use Nano Banana 2 when you need 0.5K to 4K stills, optional web grounding, wider aspect ratios and larger reference sets for controlled image generation or edits.
Grounded prompts
Use optional web grounding when current visual context matters.
0.5K to 4K
Draft cheaply, then move selected stills up to higher resolution.
Wide ratios
Support common, panoramic and extreme aspect ratios.
Multi-reference edits
Use larger reference sets for product, moodboard or layout consistency.
Seeds
Reuse a seed to iterate around the same composition.

4K finals
Validate at 2K, then finish at 4K.
Production-aware

Nano Banana 2 or Pro?
Use Nano Banana 2 for grounding, ratios and cost control. Use Pro when stronger text polish and campaign delivery matter more.
Using web grounding?
Only enable web search when the brief needs current visual context; keep owned brand references explicit.
Need text-heavy OpenAI stills?
Compare your brief with GPT Image 2 when label accuracy and controlled mask edits are the primary job.
How to write a strong Nano Banana 2 prompt
Nano Banana 2 responds best to clear composition instructions, explicit edit constraints, and grounded context only when needed.
Tip: use the UI for ratio, resolution, seed, web search, and output format. Keep the prompt focused on subject, layout, style, and what should stay fixed.
How Nano Banana 2 uses references
Text-to-image
Set subject, ratio, resolution, style and whether the prompt needs grounding.
Image edit
Use references to preserve product shape, layout, materials or palette.
Web grounding
Enable only when current context improves the image brief.
Extreme ratios
Design the composition for panoramic or vertical formats before generating.
Resolution ladder
Use 0.5K or 1K for drafts, then 2K or 4K for selected finals.
Global principles
- Describe the frame before the style treatment.
- For edits, say what to keep and what to change.
- Only use grounding when live or current context matters.
Engine quirks / what to watch for
- Wide ratios work better with explicit compositional zones.
- Large reference sets help, but roles per reference keep the edit cleaner.
- Grounded prompts should still be specific about the target aesthetic.
Nano Banana 2 image prompt examples
Use these for grounded stills, product edits, multi-reference workflows and wide-ratio 4K images.
Grounded product scene
1K grounded1K product still for an outdoor water bottle on pale stone, natural daylight, premium e-commerce campaign style, current urban hiking context if web grounding is enabled.
Product edit
Image editUsing this product reference, keep the shape, logo, main color and proportions. Change the environment to a light mineral studio, clean reflections and remove dust.
Multi-reference edit
14 refs maxCombine the references into one cohesive still: reference 1 for product identity, reference 2 for material, reference 3 for palette, reference 4 for composition. Do not blend competing styles.
Wide-ratio 4K still
4K · 21:94K still in 21:9 for a launch banner, product on the left, negative space on the right for text added later, soft light, photorealistic finish.
Before you generate
Build the reference before the edit
If the still needs a reusable character reference or a better viewpoint first, solve that before Nano Banana.
Tips and limits
Nano Banana 2 is most effective when you separate composition intent from styling intent and only enable grounding when the prompt truly needs fresh context.
What works best
- Use 0.5K and 1K to reduce cost while testing composition.
- Describe wide or tall frames explicitly when you use extreme ratios.
- If web grounding is enabled, state what current cues matter so the search context is useful.
- For multi-reference edits, assign a role to each reference and say what must remain unchanged.
Hard limits to keep in mind
- Still images only.
- Maximum 4 outputs per request.
- Web search is optional and billed per request.
- Edit mode accepts up to 14 reference images.
