Nano Banana 2 / Pro

From the first frame to the final detail.

Bring characters, locations, storyboards and design into one visual process. Establish a direction with references, then make every revision specific.

Nano Banana is Google Gemini’s native image generation and editing family. Describe a composition, establish characters and locations with references, then refine lighting, style and text through conversation.

01 / Storyboards

Turn a frame into a story.

Start with a character and location reference. Specify an establishing shot, medium shot, close-up and point of view in one storyboard brief, so your team can review the sequence before video production.

Production brief: specify panel count, action and character look. Review eyelines, costume and scene continuity.

02 / Multiple references

Bring your references into one scene.

Give character looks, costume, props and locations distinct reference roles. The official Pro example combines multiple people and visual elements into a shared composition; reference fidelity still needs review.

Reference brief: define what each input controls, retain key features, then review proportions, lighting and occlusion.

03 / Text and design

Make your words part of the image.

Specify exact wording, type direction and layout for posters, titles and story props. Multilingual generation and translation help explore variants; spelling, brand names and translations still need proofreading.

Design brief: establish the text first, then layout and space. Proofread glyphs, punctuation and facts before delivery.

04 / Precise edits

A new expression of the same scene.

Change focus, light, viewpoint or color through conversation while retaining your chosen subject and visual direction. Give each round one clear editing target.

Edit brief: specify what changes and what stays. Review identity, fine details and composition afterward.

Bring visual exploration into production.

Establish references, generate storyboards, revise individual elements, then hand approved frames to video production.

  1. Establish the visual baseline

    Organize character looks, locations, props and style. Give each reference a clear role.

  2. Explore storyboard options

    Specify framing, character positions and action. Try alternate compositions for the same beat.

  3. Refine one detail at a time

    Focus each round on lighting, expression, props or text while retaining approved elements.

  4. Hand off approved frames

    Review continuity and text. Use the chosen frames for pitches, storyboards or video references.

Start with a clear storyboard brief

In a production workflow
Night station · Four-panel storyboard

Use the supplied character look references to create a four-panel film storyboard. A station at night, cool overhead lighting, consistent character looks, costume and spatial direction. Panel 1: wide shot. A woman stands at the platform edge; a man enters from screen right. Panel 2: medium shot. She holds an old ticket and looks up at him. Panel 3: his close-up, looking screen left, hesitating to speak. Panel 4: a side close-up of both. She offers the ticket; he reaches out, then stops. Arrange in reading order. Keep identity, eyelines and light consistent. Black-and-white line drawings, without text.

Before you start creating

Versions, references, editing and delivery.

Nano Banana 2 is Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, suited to everyday generation, reference compositions and iterative edits. Pro is Gemini 3 Pro Image, designed for complex compositions, brand consistency and professional creative control. Choose by task and compare actual results; this page provides no untested speed or quality ranking.

This page covers image generation and editing. Storyboards and stills can guide later video production, but are not video outputs. Some versions can use video references to generate images; the output remains an image.

No. Reuse character looks and specify face, hair, costume and props to communicate identity. Review multiple characters, occlusion and complex poses. Lite is not optimized for multiple references or continuous multi-turn edits.

Google’s official examples demonstrate multilingual text, translation and edits that retain the design. Legible text is not necessarily correct. Proofread titles, brand names, numbers and translations.

The examples come from Google’s official Nano Banana Pro article, not Panco outputs. This page provides model information and creative guidance. Panco production support for versions, reference counts, resolutions, pricing and editing has not been verified. Check the actual product.
