Use Pro when you need:
- Final or near-final assets — Magazine covers, ads, product shots, infographics, any design with text.
- Complex multi-element prompts — Scenes with many named elements, specific typography, or multi-step instructions.
- High resolution — 2K or 4K output for print, large display, or billboard-quality work.
- High-fidelity edits — Preserving a logo, face, or product exactly while changing the rest of the image.
- Real-time grounding — Imagery that should reflect current facts, events, or data.
Use Nano Banana 2 when you need speed and volume — drafts, concept testing, quick iterations where text accuracy and maximum resolution are less critical. Use Nano Banana (base) for high-volume, low-latency tasks where cost matters most.
