  6. 06

    1K to 4K Output

    Draft at 1K and finish at 2K or 4K, now without the tiling artifacts that used to affect wide panoramic ratios such as 4:1 and 8:1.

  7. 07

    14 Aspect Ratios

    From 1:1 squares and 21:9 cinema frames to extreme 1:8 and 8:1 banners, pick the canvas that fits social posts, ads or website headers.

    Flash Speed, Lower Cost

    Flash-tier speed at about half Nano Banana 2's official price. On Dreamega, 1K images start at 4 credits, with 2K and 4K for Pro members.

Nano Banana 2.1 FAQ

Still have questions?

[email protected]DiscordJoin our DiscordSubmit a Ticket
Nano Banana 2.1 is Google's image generation and conversational editing model, released on October 6, 2026 with the model ID gemini-nano-banana-2.1. It succeeds Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), is reported to run on Gemini 3.6 Flash, and Google positions it as the efficient counterpart to Nano Banana Pro.
Google lists better visual quality and realism, stronger prompt adherence, cleaner text and infographic layouts, more reliable multi-turn character consistency and fixed tiling artifacts on wide panoramic ratios at 2K and 4K. In Google's preference tests reported by The Decoder, 2.1 scored 1050 for text-to-image against 990 for Nano Banana 2. The 0.5K option was dropped.
Choose 2.1 for speed, cost, text-heavy designs, infographics and multi-character sets, where it beats Pro in several of Google's benchmarks. Hands-on reviews still find Pro more natural for photorealistic colours and proportions, so compare both for photo-real hero shots.
A 1K image costs 4 credits, 2K costs 6 and 4K costs 14. Turning on Web Search or Image Search adds 2 credits each. 1K is available to every account; 2K and 4K require a Pro plan.
Yes. Switch to the edit mode, upload up to 14 images and describe the change: swap backgrounds, combine products, restyle a scene or keep a character across new poses. Leave the aspect ratio on Auto to follow your input.
They let the model look up live Google Search results before it draws, which helps with real landmarks, recent products and factual details. Keep them off for purely imaginative prompts to save credits.
Google has said the Nano Banana 2 API model (gemini-3.1-flash-image) shuts down on October 29, 2026, with Nano Banana 2.1 as its replacement. Your prompts carry over unchanged, because 2.1 accepts the same settings plus the new search options.
