Google Launches Nano Banana 2 Image Model With Native 4K and Improved Chinese Text Rendering

A staged rollout across Gemini, Search, developer tools, plus Google Ads follows the official release.

Overview

  • Built on Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, the model delivers faster responses and stronger prompt understanding.
  • Google reports improved generation consistency and fixes for issues such as Chinese character garbling and visual artifacts.
  • Output resolution increases to native 4K, with support for up to five consistent characters across images and up to 14 elements in a single scene.
  • The company plans to replace the previous Nano Banana across Gemini, Google Search, Google AI Studio, Google Flow, paid APIs, and Google Ads.
  • The debut comes after days of leaked 4K samples on X, a reported Gemini 3.1 Flash Image entry in Vertex AI, and sightings of an anonymous model on Arena.ai.
