Google Mixboard Now Turns Idea Boards Into Full Presentations With Nano Banana Pro

Early tests point to roughly 20‑minute builds and fluctuating generation limits tied to server load.

Overview

  • The update is rolling out in Google Labs with expanded tools including a selfie camera, PDF uploads, doodle-based edits, and support for larger projects with multiple boards.
  • The feature uses Google's Gemini 3 Pro Image model, optimized for higher‑fidelity visuals and readable in‑image text for cleaner slides.
  • Mixboard assembles decks by combining board context with user inputs such as format, presentation focus, and preset visual styles like photography or illustration.
  • Hands-on reports note presentation generation typically takes about 20 minutes and is subject to quotas that vary with real‑time server demand.
  • Reviewers describe the tool as easy to use and useful for quick pitches or design ideas, with current constraints including PDF or image-only downloads, best performance in Chromium-based browsers, and free access during its experimental phase.
