Google unveiled Nano Banana Pro on November 20, 2025, a significant upgrade to its AI image-generation and editing suite built on the Gemini 3 Pro model. The new tool promises improved reasoning, more consistent image results, and clearer text generation within AI-created images, addressing long-standing challenges in legible text rendering.
Nano Banana Pro is integrated across multiple Google platforms, including Google Search's AI Mode, the Gemini API, Google Ads, and Flow, the company's AI filmmaking system. Free-tier Gemini users receive limited access, while subscribers to Google AI Pro or Ultra tiers enjoy broader capabilities, such as watermark-free images and priority features.
The launch follows Google's recent rollout of Gemini 3, aimed at strengthening its competitive position against OpenAI. According to Google VP Josh Woodward, the tool excels at tasks like creating infographics, slide decks, and maintaining character consistency across up to 14 images. Internal testing has shown its utility in converting code snippets and resumes into visual formats.
Alphabet Inc.'s stock (GOOG) traded at $301.32 on the announcement day, with a 58.72% year-to-date return, outperforming the S&P 500. Google reported over 650 million monthly Gemini app users and 2 billion monthly AI Overviews users, as it narrows the gap with OpenAI's ChatGPT, which boasts 800 million weekly active users.
