Nano Banana 2 For Reference-Driven AI Image Editing
Use multiple reference images, keep visual consistency, and steer complex edits with stronger reasoning, web search, and image search when needed.
Why Choose This Model
Nano Banana 2 is the best fit when your task needs consistency, controlled edits, and stronger prompt understanding across multiple source images.
Consistent Across Multiple Inputs
Keep the same subject, style, or product language across several generations instead of restarting from scratch every time.
Better Reference Image Editing
Blend and edit up to multiple references to preserve identity, composition cues, and visual direction with less prompt trial and error.
Search and Reasoning When You Need It
Enable web search, image search, and stronger thinking for harder edits, trend-led visuals, or production tasks that need more control.
Best-Fit Use Cases
This model performs best when the image task is not just one-shot generation, but an iterative editing workflow with direction and constraints.
Storyboard and sequence frames
Create a series of visuals that feel like they belong to the same campaign, scene, or character arc.
Product image iterations
Keep the same product identity while changing angle, lighting, background, or campaign treatment.
Character and style consistency
Useful for social creatives, comic-like sequences, and branded visual systems where consistency matters more than raw speed.
Showcase Directions
These cards focus on prompt directions and in-house example visuals instead of hotlinking third-party generated images.
Ad Creative at Scale
Use Nano Banana 2 for campaign visuals that need sharp text, strong hierarchy, and consistent product framing.
Prompt Direction
Create a premium mobile ad creative for a canned sparkling fruit drink. Vertical 9:16 layout, centered product, diagonal torn-paper reveal filled with fresh fruit, realistic condensation, brushed aluminum texture, clean negative space for headline, photorealistic studio lighting, brand-safe composition, sharp legible packaging text.
Identity-Safe Edits
Great for upload-and-edit workflows where the face, pose, and camera angle need to stay intact while style changes.
Prompt Direction
Take the uploaded lifestyle portrait and make only these changes: replace the background with a cozy Paris cafe at golden hour, change the jacket from black leather to beige wool, correct the typo on the coffee cup to read "Bonjour", keep the face, pose, camera angle, and overall identity unchanged, photorealistic.
Storyboards and Scene Logic
Useful when the output must preserve character continuity across multi-panel storyboards or multi-stage campaign scenes.
Prompt Direction
Using the same main character across four panels, create a storyboard of a young female founder building a skincare brand: sketching packaging in a studio, reviewing samples in a lab, filming a product reel, and celebrating launch day. Preserve face, hair, outfit identity, and product design consistency across all panels. Clean cinematic lighting, commercial storytelling style.
