Nano Banana 2 — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about Nano Banana 2 and what makes it different
What's new in Nano Banana 2 compared to the original Nano Banana?
Nano Banana 2 (also called nano banana 2.0 or nano-banana 2) is a major upgrade: it uses Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview model, supports Web Search for real-time knowledge, offers up to 4K resolution, and delivers noticeably better image quality — all while maintaining fast generation speed.
What can I do with Nano Banana 2's Web Search feature?
Web Search lets Nano Banana 2 pull in real-time information during generation. This means you can create images involving current events, real public figures, specific brand logos, or trending topics — something the basic nano banana version cannot do. It's a game-changer for topical and reference-heavy content.
How does Raphael make Nano Banana 2 faster and cheaper than Google's API?
Raphael uses the exact same official Gemini 3.1 Flash API that Google offers, but with optimized batching — each request generates 4 images at once (Google's API only returns 1). Combined with pipeline optimizations, you get more output for less cost.
What resolution and quality options does Nano Banana 2 support?
Nano Banana 2 supports resolutions from 0.5K up to 4K. Credits scale with quality: 10 credits for 0.5K, 15 for 1K, 20 for 2K, and 30 for 4K. This flexibility lets you choose the right balance of quality and cost for each project.
Does Nano Banana 2 support image editing and multi-image composition?
Yes. Nano banana 2 handles text-to-image generation, image-to-image editing, style transfer, and multi-image composition. Upload reference images and describe what you want — the nana banana 2 engine understands complex natural language instructions for creative transformations.
Nano Banana 2 vs Nano Banana Pro — which should I choose?
Choose Nano Banana 2 (nano banana 2.0) for everyday work where speed and cost matter — it's faster and costs 10–30 credits. Choose Nano Banana Pro (nano-banana-pro) when you need the absolute best quality for professional output — it uses Gemini 3 Pro and costs 30–50 credits. Both generate 4 images per request.
How much does Nano Banana 2 cost?
Nano Banana 2 costs 10–30 credits per generation (4 images), depending on the resolution you choose. Registered users get 10 free daily credits. Pro subscribers receive 2,000 monthly credits and Ultimate subscribers get 5,000 — plenty for regular nano-banana 2 usage.
Is Nano Banana 2 using the real Google Gemini model?
Absolutely. Nano Banana 2 calls Google's official Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview API directly — there's no proxy or alternative model. You get the authentic google nano banana output, wrapped in Raphael's optimized editing workflow at a lower price point.
