Skin that looks photographed
Pores, freckles and small blemishes survive, and light falls on faces the way a camera would record it. Reviewers rate Pro's skin and lighting the most lifelike in the family.

Nano Banana Pro image generator
Nano Banana Pro is Google's top Gemini image model. It thinks through a prompt before drawing, which is why it is the one to use when skin has to look real, every word has to be spelled right, or a person has to stay the same across several edits. Write a prompt or add a photo below and it opens in Image Studio on Nano Banana Pro.

What Nano Banana Pro is known for
Print-grade typography
Mastheads, cover lines, labels and posters come out spelled as written, in several languages. Google calls Pro its best model for text in images.
Up to five people, kept consistent
Edit a scene with several people and each keeps their own face. Give it a person and a new setting and the person survives the move.
Directions it actually follows
Camera angle, lens, light and layout instructions land, because Pro reasons about the prompt first. In our tests it was the one that put her on the rooftop we asked for.
Where it's weaker
- It is the slowest Nano Banana: Pro always thinks before drawing.
- Very small text and dense infographics can still contain spelling or fact errors.
- Faces seen in profile or far away are harder to keep consistent.
- Real public figures are refused, and every image carries an invisible SynthID watermark.
- 4K costs twice as much as 1K or 2K.

Every image below was generated with the prompt shown, unedited. Load any prompt into the generator and make your own version.
Skin and lightA creator mid-laugh in a cafe
Prompt
A candid vertical phone photo of a 26-year-old woman with curly auburn hair and freckles filming a get-ready-with-me video in a sunlit cafe. She holds an iced latte and is caught mid-laugh, looking just past the camera. Natural skin texture with visible pores, soft window light, shallow depth of field, shot on a phone's main camera.
Same face, new sceneThe cafe creator, moved to a rooftop
Prompt
Keep the exact same woman from the image: same face, freckles and curly auburn hair. Place her on a city rooftop at night in a black leather jacket, holding her phone up to film the skyline, neon city lights behind her.
UGC with a readable labelA serum selfie for an ad
Prompt
UGC-style vertical selfie of a woman in her thirties in a bright bathroom, holding a frosted glass serum bottle up next to her cheek toward the camera. The bottle label clearly reads "DEWLAB" and, below it, "Niacinamide 10%". Natural makeup, real skin texture, a slightly messy bun, morning light from a window.
Text in the imageA magazine cover, every line spelled right
Prompt
A fashion magazine cover: a model in a tailored mustard-yellow suit against a deep teal backdrop, three-quarter portrait, chin slightly raised. The masthead at the top reads "LUMEN" in large serif letters. Cover lines on the left read "The Quiet Luxury Issue" and "48 Looks for Autumn". A small line at the bottom reads "November 2026 · No. 112". Crisp studio lighting.
Two photos, one imageHer face, his coat, a Paris street
Prompt
Dress the woman from the first image in the camel overcoat, cream knit sweater and wide grey trousers worn by the man in the second image. Same face and hair as the first image. Full-body shot of her walking down a rainy Paris street at dusk, umbrella in hand.
Fashion on a personStreet style in Seoul
Prompt
Full-body street-style photo of a young man in an oversized camel overcoat, a cream knit sweater, wide grey trousers and white sneakers, walking across a zebra crossing in Seoul at golden hour. Caught mid-stride, framed like a fashion-week street photographer's shot, city traffic softly blurred behind him.
HeadshotsA professional headshot
Prompt
A professional headshot of a Black woman in her forties with short natural hair, wearing a navy blazer over a white top, with a warm, confident smile. Soft grey seamless studio backdrop, gentle key light from the left, sharp focus on the eyes.
Many faces at onceThree generations at dinner
Prompt
A warm candid photo of three generations of a Mexican-American family laughing around a backyard dinner table at dusk, string lights overhead. A grandmother passes a plate of tamales, a teenager is mid-laugh, a toddler sits on her father's lap. Documentary style, 35mm film look, every face natural and distinct.
Thumbnail with a headlineA YouTube thumbnail
Prompt
A YouTube thumbnail: a surprised young creator with round glasses on the right side, pointing at a giant bold yellow headline on the left that reads "I TRIED 30 AI TOOLS". Plain bright purple-to-blue gradient background with no logos, icons or brand marks. Clean cut-out look around the creator, high contrast, readable at small size.

Nano Banana 2 is newer but not a replacement: fal's tests and ours found it close to Pro, with Pro still ahead on realistic skin and complex scenes.
The original Nano Banana and the Lite tiers are also in the studio's model menu. Credits are read from the live catalog; the Standard plan ($24/month) includes 2,000 credits, about 66 Nano Banana Pro images.
Prompting Nano Banana Pro well
- Render at 2K: on Affogato it costs the same as 1K.
- Describe the scene in sentences instead of listing keywords: who is in it, what they are doing, where, and how it is framed and lit.
- Spell out every word that should appear in the image, in quotes, and say where it goes ("the masthead reads…").
- Use photography terms for realism: lens, shot type, light source, "shot on a phone".
- When you edit, say what must stay the same ("keep the exact same woman: same face, freckles and hair") and change one thing at a time.
- With several photos, give each one a role: "the woman from the first image, the coat from the second".
- Say what you want rather than what you don't: "an empty street" works better than "no cars".
