What is Nano Banana 2.1?
Nano Banana 2.1 is Google's newest Nano Banana image model, part of the Gemini 3 series of natively multimodal models and built on Gemini 3.6 Flash. Give it text, images, or both — with a context window of up to 1M tokens — and it generates images and text together in one response. It launched in October 2026 as the latest step in the Nano Banana line.
- Gemini 3 series, built on Gemini 3.6 Flash
- Text + image input, up to a 1M-token context
- Images and text in one response
Generate in 1K, 2K, and 4K across 15 aspect ratios
Pick the output that fits the placement: 1K, 2K, or full 4K resolution, in 15 aspect ratios from square 1:1 through cinematic 21:9 to ultra-tall 9:21 — including banner formats like 8:1 and 1:8. Text renders inside the image in multiple languages, and generations draw on world knowledge, so posters, infographics, and educational visuals come out factually grounded.
- 1K, 2K and 4K output
- 15 aspect ratios, 1:1 to 21:9
- Multilingual text rendering
Edit anything: objects, styles, characters - even with a doodle
Nano Banana 2.1 edits as well as it generates. Swap objects, change environments, restyle a whole image, or edit a character while keeping them recognizable. Ink-based editing means you can doodle directly on the picture to mark exactly what should change — no mask tools, no settings hunt. The rest of the image stays as you shot it.
- Object and environment edits
- Stylization and character editing
- Doodle on the image to direct the edit
Combine images and refine across a whole conversation
Bring several images into one result: recontextualize multiple products into a single scene, or keep several characters consistent in the same frame. And because Nano Banana 2.1 is built for multi-turn work, you refine in conversation — ask for a change, see the result, ask again — instead of restarting from a fresh prompt each time.
- Multi-product recontextualization
- Multi-character scenes
- Multi-turn refinement
