Google recently launched an updated version of Nano Banana, dubbed Nano Banana Pro, and the results are impressive. According to Google, this is their most advanced image model to date, and hands-on testing confirms the hype is justified. The model excels at text rendering, generates photorealistic images, and has quickly gained traction across social platforms.
Getting started is straightforward: navigate to gemini.google.com, initiate a new conversation, select “Thinking with 3 Pro,” and enter your prompt. Reference images can be uploaded as needed.
Below are the practical applications I’ve discovered through testing (excluding capabilities already present in the original Nano Banana).
1.Infographics
Nano Banana Pro demonstrates exceptional proficiency with text integration and diagram construction, making it ideal for transforming data into professional-quality visual content.
The model comprehends information hierarchy, implements appropriate spacing, applies effective color schemes, and ensures readability. Additionally, it can research and incorporate accurate data points into your designs.
Test prompt: “Create a beautiful infographic about daily habits that improve mental wellness.”
The output delivered a polished layout with verified information that could immediately be used in presentations or shared on digital platforms. The design avoided common pitfalls like awkward compositions or inaccurate data.

Applications span business analytics, health guidance, productivity strategies, and educational materials. The model automatically determines optimal visual presentation methods.
2.Annotation
Photo annotation becomes simple when you need to identify or label specific elements within an image whether for tutorials, educational purposes, or basic identification.
Nano Banana Pro adds annotations directly onto uploaded photos. Simply upload your image and request labeling, identification, or text placement on specific areas. The annotations remain legible without overwhelming the original photograph.
A user on X demonstrated this by uploading food imagery and requesting ingredient annotation. The model delivered detailed, accurate identification with clear labeling for each component.
Practical uses include recipe documentation, product identification, cooking instruction, and any scenario requiring photographic markup.

3.Comics
Comic creation traditionally demands significant time investment. Nano Banana Pro streamlines this process with its dual capabilities in panel illustration and visual narrative comprehension.
Test prompt: “Create a four panel comics in vertical aspect ratio. In the first panel, show a girl opening her fridge and finding it completely empty. In the second panel, show her thinking deeply with a dramatic expression. In the third panel, show her ordering food on her phone with excitement. In the fourth panel, show her happily receiving an oversized delivery box at the door.”
The resulting output presents a cohesive narrative sequence. Panel transitions flow naturally, character design remains consistent, and facial expressions effectively communicate emotion.

4.Camera Angle
Photography can be reframed from alternative perspectives using Nano Banana Pro’s spatial understanding capabilities.
Upload your photograph and specify the desired camera angle or viewpoint. The model comprehends spatial relationships and reframes imagery accordingly. Whether you need a side view instead of front-facing, or require a wider scene perspective, the model adapts to your specifications.

5.Change Aspect Ratio
Format requirements vary across platforms Instagram requires squares, banners need wide rectangles, and stories demand vertical orientations.
Upload your photograph and request Nano Banana Pro to adjust the aspect ratio to your specifications. The crucial difference: the model doesn’t simply crop or stretch. When requesting wider ratios, it intelligently generates content that harmonizes with the original composition. You receive an expanded canvas with appropriate additions rather than distorted imagery.

6. Sketch to Photo
Conceptual ideas or rough sketches can be visualized as photorealistic images.
Upload any sketch to Nano Banana Pro and request photorealistic conversion. The model enhances your drawing with detail, texture, lighting, and realistic qualities.
One user submitted a basic house sketch and received a convincing photorealistic architectural rendering.
This proves valuable for architects visualizing designs, product designers presenting concepts, or creatives testing ideas in realistic contexts. The model fills gaps and adds details absent from the original sketch.

7. Handwritten Notes
Digital content sometimes requires handwritten text elements for design projects, blog posts, greetings, or personal touches.
Nano Banana Pro generates authentic handwritten notes. Test prompt: “Create a close and clean image of a handwritten note in blue ink on a white sheet. The handwriting should feel natural. The note should contain the text: ‘Hi Friend, hope your day is going well. Just testing this handwriting style.'”
The output appeared genuinely hand-written, featuring natural pen pressure variation, characterized letterforms, and authentic presentation avoiding mechanical or artificial qualities.
