MEET THE MODELS
Get familiar with Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2.0
Both Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2.0 turn a prompt into a finished image, but with different strengths. Nano Banana 2 is Google's Flash-speed model built on Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, delivering near-Pro quality up to 4K fast. GPT Image 2.0 is OpenAI's autoregressive model built for ~99% text accuracy and studio-grade photorealism. Generate with both in our AI Playground.
SPEED & RESOLUTION
Compare speed, resolution, and cost
Both models are fast: Nano Banana 2 generates at Flash speed with up to 40% lower cost, while GPT Image 2.0 returns an image in about three seconds - 3 to 5x faster than GPT Image 1.5. On resolution, Nano Banana 2 reaches full 4K from 512px, and GPT Image 2.0 generates up to 2048x2048 natively with 4K available in beta. For high-volume speed, Nano Banana 2 leads; for native text-perfect output, GPT Image 2.0 leads.
TEXT & TYPOGRAPHY
Text accuracy and multilingual rendering
This is where GPT Image 2.0 stands out: ~99% character-level text accuracy across headlines, fine print, and multilingual labels - Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hebrew - making it ideal for posters, packaging, and infographics. Nano Banana 2 also renders text well and pairs it with Gemini's search-grounded accuracy. If typography is the job, GPT Image 2.0 is the pick.
EDITING & CONSISTENCY
Editing, consistency, and provenance
GPT Image 2.0 edits through plain language - inpainting, outpainting, object removal, background replacement, and style transfer - keeps up to 8 consistent images per prompt, and embeds C2PA content credentials for provenance. Nano Banana 2 maintains up to five characters and fourteen objects per scene with strong consistency, editable inside Picsart's tools. Both scale well; GPT Image 2.0 adds deeper editing and provenance.
