Nano Banana 2.1 is Google's successor to Nano Banana 2. It generates images from text and edits photos using up to 14 reference images. The biggest change is pricing: a 1K, 2K or 4K image costs the same, so higher resolution does not raise the bill. You get 14 aspect ratios, including the extreme 1:4, 4:1, 1:8 and 8:1, plus auto, which keeps the source photo's format when editing. Each request returns one image.

Best for

  • Print graphics and large 4K banners with no resolution surcharge
  • Prompt-based product photo edits that keep the source framing
  • Compositions built from several references: product, character, background
  • 8:1 website strips and 1:8 sidebar graphics

Prompting tips

  • Since 4K costs the same as 1K, render at your final size right away instead of a draft plus a re-run.
  • For edits, keep aspect_ratio: auto and say both what should change and what must stay.
  • With several references, describe each one's role: "the first image is the product, the second is the background".
  • Multiple variants mean multiple requests - the model returns one image at a time.
