What is Nano Banana Pro?

Welcome to the new era of AI-powered creativity. Google’s Nano Banana Pro is a next-generation AI model that improves realism, accuracy, and stylistic understanding. 

It works seamlessly within Envato’s AI tools to enable continuity and professional polish across your creative workflows.

Compared to Nano Banana, the Pro model offers more tailored functionality for creative folk. Experience greater detail, improved consistency across a sequence of refined images, and an overall better adherence to prompts. No more wasted time trying to second-guess how the AI model will interpret your request!

And with Envato’s ‘Enhance Prompt’ feature, you don’t even need a Nano Banana Pro prompting guide to hand. Simply jot down the gist, and Envato will work its magic, bringing in trending aesthetics, stylistic details, and more to bring your idea to life.

How Nano Banana Pro works inside Envato’s AI Image Generator

Nano Banana Pro will power into gear when you include a reference image in Envato’s AI Image Generator. This AI model supports several improved features, including:

Consistent subjects across multiple prompts

Keep characters consistent as you refine them, retaining the same facial identity across various poses, expressions, outfits, and scenes. You can stick with the same ‘actor’ throughout a complete sequence of images, making ImageGen and ImageEdit perfect for campaign ideation, storyboarding, character design, and product series development.

Create a cute robot like this one, and keep him consistent throughout your revisions. Start with a prompt like this:

A sleek, compact robot with rounded edges and a glossy finish, standing confidently. Large, expressive LED eyes display a friendly demeanor. Its arms are slightly bent, hands open as if offering a greeting. A small antenna juts jauntily from its head. The robot’s body features segmented panels with subtle joint articulation, showing off its functionality and design. It has sturdy, wide-set feet that provide stability.

Improved composition and inter-object relationships 

Enhance the spatial arrangement of your AI creations with more accurate object placement, informed by your reference image and prompt. Maintain visual continuity across multiple variations, with the best results from Nano Banana Pro making it impossible to tell what’s AI-generated and what’s simply the next step in your idea.

More stylistic understanding

Aesthetics are everything. With Nano Banana Pro, fine-tune stylistic cues like ‘retro’, ‘cinematic’, ‘minimalist’, ‘futuristic’, plus editorial and trending styles that make social media designs and marketing campaigns feel fresh and relevant. Working within a brand direction? Have confidence that brand traits will be maintained throughout, allowing you to create spot-on designs for branding and mood boards.

When should I use reference images?

A reference image serves as a starting point for ImageGen or ImageEdit. This image will serve as the ‘blueprint’ for your refined creations, so consider what consistent elements you want to carry forward into AI-refined imagery. For example, you might want to use an image that features common elements of a brand identity to build a complete campaign, or an image that depicts a human subject you want to maintain throughout a sequence, when creating a range of product shots for a clothing website. 

By using reference images, you can exert more control over the refinement process, and it will provide Nano Banana Pro with plenty of food for thought.

How Nano Banana Pro powers Envato’s AI Image Editor

Now let’s take a look under the bonnet of Nano Banana Pro in Envato’s AI Image Editor. When you use a reference image and select ‘Generate similar’, AI Image Editor uses Nano Banana Pro to build variations of the original image.

Some of the unique features you can now explore in ImageEdit include:

Avoid full regeneration by editing specific areas 

Make subtle, sophisticated adjustments to lighting, materials, color, or even tiny details in your image, without the need to create a full regeneration. For production-level editing and retouching, it’s a game-changer.

The still point of the turning world

Don’t leave important elements behind by maintaining the continuity of your creations. Keep the subject’s facial identity and body type intact as you make natural adjustments to lighting direction, textures, and composition. If you’re working with a batch of images, such as a storyboarding sequence, Nano Banana Pro ensures that core details are consistent across the batch.

Fine-tune the details instantly

There’s no need to keep going back to the drawing board. Refine shadows, soften highlights, correct colors, and adjust textures without needing to restart, making ImageEdit a handy tool for polishing AI-generated images or stock assets.

Advanced Nano Banana Pro techniques

Once you start rolling with Nano Banana Pro, you can achieve fantastic results tailored to specific purposes and projects. Here are some advanced Nano Banana Pro techniques you can try for branding, fashion imagery, product photography, and concept art.

Branding and packaging

Creating branded visuals that stick to the brief is a breeze with Nano Banana Pro in ImageEdit. Adjust logo details, such as font style or graphic style, switch up brand colors, and apply branded designs instantly to different mock-ups and products with just a few prompts.

With branding, it pays to be consistent, so keep your prompt language similar throughout a sequence, using the same colors and font styles consistently as you work.

Use this prompt to create a similar image, and further refine using keywords like ‘sans serif’ and ‘metallic debossing’:

The wood is weathered, showing natural grain and slight imperfections, with small metal accents securing the corners. A subtle, wrought-iron bracket supports the sign, adding a touch of rustic charm.

Fashion and editorial imagery

Fashion is fast-paced, so don’t be left behind with AI-generated visuals that adapt to e-commerce standards and editorial requirements. No studio required.

Using ImageEdit, change your model’s pose, angle, and expression, adjust details like fabric and hem length, drop in accessories, and swap studio backdrops without influencing your subject. Use words that express the fashion aesthetic you want to achieve, such as ‘minimalist’, ‘eclectic’, ‘colorblock’, or ‘luxurious’.

With this image of a model as a starting point, created using the prompt below, it’s possible to refine shots to adjust the way clothing is displayed.

Accessorized with chunky, mismatched earrings and a bold statement necklace. Hair styled in a sleek, gravity-defying updo. Makeup features strong brows, smoky eyes, and nude lips, highlighting her striking features.

Product photography

Perfect for social media product shots or client mockups, you can achieve advanced product photography results by integrating subtle cues into your ImageGen prompts. Try adding product or liquid textures, adjusting packaging material details, incorporating a logo design, or incorporating embossed embellishments to packaging for a polished effect.

Product photography is about close-up detail and tactility, so shape your prompts around material cues like ‘pebbled leather’, ‘holographic’, ‘liquid glass’, or ‘fuzzy wool’.

A slender, matching applicator wand with a fine tip is included. The overall form factor is sleek and ergonomic, designed to fit comfortably in the hand.

Cinematic concept art

For conceptual artwork, combining ImageGen and ImageEdit into a single workflow can pull off professional storyboarding, and you can even take your generated visuals into specialist design software for final production. 

Try using prompt keywords that focus on switching camera angles (or use ImageEdit’s built-in Camera Angles tool), crafting new scenes, or editing subject actions to advance the narrative. For really focused results, stick to specific phrasing such as ‘extreme close-up’, ‘wide shot’, or ‘portrait’, or try to think about the cinematic aesthetic you want to achieve, using words like ‘film noir’, ‘3D animation’, or ‘Wes Anderson aesthetic’.

Nano Banana Pro vs Nano Banana

Nano Banana certainly made a splash when it was released in August 2025. The Google-produced AI model, built on Gemini, marked a new step in generative AI, featuring photorealistic visuals that maintained character consistency. It was great when used for fast, exploratory generations that focused on concepts, but not so much for production-ready results.

However, Nano Banana Pro is a welcome step-up and addresses some of its predecessor’s issues with even more advanced capabilities. A huge advantage is that it automatically powers into gear when using reference images, building more consistency into workflows. Some of the other key differences between Nano Banana Pro vs Nano Banana include:

Improved consistency

While Nano Banana made consistency a key part of the offering, some details could still be lost as refinements progressed. With Nano Banana Pro, a greater level of character consistency can be achieved, allowing you to retain important subjects and details while working.

Stronger composition

The relationships between objects and elements are more considered and realistic than in the older model, making the subject’s interactions with the world around them feel more believable. No more random floating elements or skewed perspective.

Improved detail and lighting

Nano Banana Pro is ‘pro’ for a reason: it responds accurately to specific prompts, producing more nuanced details and advanced lighting effects. Ambient lighting, spot lighting, task lighting, and candlelight are rendered in more photorealistic detail, and the model will also react to specific angle requests.

Reliable adherence to style

Set your style and aesthetics from the outset, and be confident that Nano Banana Pro will stick to the brief. Maintenance of aesthetic elements, such as colors, logos, and graphics, makes branding projects more seamless. Meanwhile, cinematic cues that give your imagery a distinctive atmosphere are reliably adhered to throughout the project. 

More stable outputs for brands and campaigns

The enemy of good AI output is the AI model exercising too much freedom. With Nano Banana Pro, AI’s imagination can’t run completely wild, giving you more creative control over results. Prompting also doesn’t require a degree in English Lit; the new model is more likely to understand what you’re aiming for from a few simple, clear directions.
