Google's fast flagship — strong text and composition.
Google’s fast flagship, with reasoning and typography, quick multi-turn editing and up to ten source images. At 3 credits it is the cheaper way to find out whether Google’s compositional style suits a prompt before paying for Nano Banana Pro.
Reach for it when you want Google’s compositional style without committing to Pro’s price.
Six test prompts
Every model on ImageForge renders the same six prompts, one per strength, so you can judge Nano Banana 2 against the others on identical input. Images are unedited, at 1 megapixel. How we ran the test.
Photorealism
Skin texture, natural light and a believable shallow depth of field.
“Close-up portrait of an elderly fisherman with a weathered face and grey stubble, wearing a yellow raincoat, soft overcast light from a window, shallow depth of field, 85mm photograph”
Text rendering
Both lines of text spelled correctly and placed on the sign, not floating beside it.
“A vintage enamel sign on a brick wall that reads "FRESH BREAD DAILY" in bold red serif letters, with "since 1962" in smaller script below, morning sunlight”
Product shot
Glass, metal and water rendered convincingly in one studio setup.
“A frosted glass perfume bottle with a brass cap on wet black slate, droplets on the glass, soft rim light, reflections on the stone, studio product photography”
Prompt adherence
Exactly three red cubes on the sphere, with the cone on the left and the cylinder on the right.
“Three red cubes stacked on top of a blue sphere, a green cone to the left and a yellow cylinder to the right, on a black and white checkerboard floor, soft studio lighting”
Illustration
A consistent watercolor-and-ink style rather than a photo with a filter.
“Children's book illustration of a fox in a knitted scarf reading a book under a large mushroom in light rain, soft watercolor and ink, warm palette”
Complex scene
Mixed light sources, wet reflections and several subjects in one frame.
“A narrow street in Tokyo at night after rain, neon signs reflecting in puddles, a cyclist with an umbrella passing a lit ramen shop, cinematic”
