Nano Banana 2 Is Now Live in Brand Image Copilot

Nano Banana 2 is officially available in Brand Image Copilot today. Starting now, you can select Nano Banana 2 as your image generation model inside Copilot and create brand-consistent ad visuals at 3x the speed of Nano Banana Pro — with no quality compromise.

This is the update we've been building toward: the best AI image model we've ever offered, running inside a workflow that already knows your brand. Here's what this means for your daily ad creation, and exactly how to start using it.


What Changed Today

Until yesterday, Brand Image Copilot offered two models:

ModelQualitySpeed
Nano Banana ProPremium15–30 seconds
Nano Banana (original)Good3–5 seconds

The trade-off was clear: quality or speed. Now there's a third option that breaks that trade-off:

ModelQualitySpeed
Nano Banana 2Premium5–10 seconds

Pro-level quality. Flash-level speed. That's the pitch — and in practice, it delivers.


How to Use Nano Banana 2 in Brand Image Copilot

Step 1: Open Brand Image Copilot

Go to Brand Image Copilot from the top navigation bar, or click Copilot directly.

Step 2: Select Your Brand

Choose the brand you want to create ads for in the brand selector at the bottom of the chat. If you haven't set up your brand yet, head to Brand Ads first — paste your website URL or upload brand images, and the AI will extract your Brand DNA in about 30 seconds.

First time? Check out our Brand Image Copilot tutorial for a complete walkthrough of setting up your brand.

Step 3: Switch to Nano Banana 2

In the model picker next to the brand selector, select Nano Banana 2. That's it — every image generated in this session will now use Nano Banana 2.

Step 4: Start Creating

Describe the ad you need in plain language. Nano Banana 2 will generate it with your brand's colors, visual style, and identity baked in.

"Create a social media ad for our spring collection. Feature the new tote bag on a clean, lifestyle background with 'New Arrival — Shop Now' text."

Your image will appear in 5–10 seconds. Then iterate:

"Make the text larger and move it to the top left. Switch to a warm, golden-hour lighting."

"Give me a vertical version for Instagram Stories with the same look."

Each round builds on the last. Your brand identity carries through every generation automatically.


Why Nano Banana 2 + Brand Image Copilot Is a Game-Changer

Speed That Changes Your Workflow

With Nano Banana Pro, each iteration took 15–30 seconds. Over a typical 6–8 round conversation to nail an ad, that's 2–4 minutes of waiting. Nano Banana 2 cuts that to under a minute total. The speed difference sounds small on paper, but in practice it transforms the creative process — you stay in flow instead of waiting.

Pro-Quality Text Rendering, On Brand

Nano Banana 2's 95% text accuracy improvement means your headlines, taglines, and CTAs actually render correctly the first time. Combined with Brand Image Copilot's brand awareness, you get text that's not only legible but styled in a way that fits your brand. No more Photoshop touch-ups.

More Affordable at Scale

Nano Banana 2 costs significantly less per generation than Nano Banana Pro. For teams running multi-channel campaigns — where you need 10–20 variations across Instagram, Facebook, email, and web — the savings add up quickly. Check the pricing page for current rates.

Character Consistency Across Campaigns

Need the same model, mascot, or product across a dozen ad variations? Nano Banana 2 maintains character consistency for up to 5 subjects. Pair that with Brand Image Copilot's brand memory, and you get a complete campaign where every piece looks like it came from the same shoot.


Real Workflow: Creating a Multi-Channel Campaign

Let's walk through a realistic workflow — creating a product launch campaign across three channels.

Round 1: Concept Exploration

You: "I'm launching a new wireless earbuds product. Create a hero ad — clean, premium feel, dark background, product front-and-center with subtle lighting. Include 'SoundPure X1 — Hear Everything' as the headline."

Nano Banana 2 generates the first concept in ~7 seconds, fully on-brand with your color palette and visual style.

Round 2: Refinement

You: "Great direction. Make the lighting more dramatic — a rim light from behind the product. And make the headline text a bit larger."

Round 3: Instagram Feed Version

You: "Love it. Now give me a square version for Instagram feed. Keep the same composition but tighter crop."

Round 4: Instagram Stories Version

You: "Now a 9:16 vertical for Stories. Move the product to the center-bottom, headline to the top."

Round 5: Email Banner

You: "One more — a wide 3:1 banner for email. Same look, product on the left, text on the right."

Total time: ~5 minutes for a complete multi-channel campaign kit — 5 polished, on-brand images across 3 channels. With Nano Banana Pro, the same workflow would have taken 15+ minutes and cost significantly more.


Nano Banana 2 vs. Pro: When to Use Which

Both models are available in Brand Image Copilot. Here's how to choose:

ScenarioRecommended ModelWhy
Daily ad creationNano Banana 2Best balance of speed, quality, and value
Multi-channel campaignsNano Banana 2Fast iteration, affordable at scale
Social media contentNano Banana 2Quick turnaround for content calendars
Ultra-complex compositionsNano Banana ProSlightly better with highly detailed scenes
4K print materialsNano Banana ProMaximum resolution output
Quick concept draftsNano Banana (original)Fastest and most affordable option

Our recommendation: Start with Nano Banana 2 for everything. Switch to Pro only if you're working on print-resolution or highly complex compositions that need that extra edge.

Tip: You can switch models mid-conversation. Start exploring with Nano Banana 2, and if you need maximum detail for the final output, switch to Pro for the last generation.


Tips for Getting the Most Out of Nano Banana 2

Lean Into Text

This is the biggest practical improvement over the original Nano Banana. Don't be afraid to include headlines, taglines, prices, and CTAs directly in your generated images. Put the exact text in quotes in your message for best accuracy:

"Add the text 'Summer Sale — Up to 60% Off' in bold at the top of the image."

Use Reference Images

Upload your actual product photos, existing ads, or style references directly in the chat. Nano Banana 2 excels at incorporating reference images — it'll match lighting, angle, and context while keeping your brand identity intact.

Batch Your Variations

Since Nano Banana 2 is fast and affordable, use it to create more variations than you normally would. Generate 5–10 options for each channel, pick the best ones, and A/B test them. The cost is minimal and the data you get from testing is invaluable.

Go Multi-Language

Nano Banana 2 handles CJK scripts (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and other non-Latin text significantly better than previous models. If you run multilingual campaigns, you can now generate localized ad visuals with accurate text — no separate design pass needed.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nano Banana 2 better than Nano Banana Pro?

For most marketing workflows, yes. Nano Banana 2 delivers comparable quality at 3x the speed and a lower price point. Nano Banana Pro still has an edge for ultra-high-complexity compositions and maximum 4K resolution output, but for everyday ad creation, Nano Banana 2 is the better choice.

Just switch the model picker to Nano Banana 2. Everything else — brand selection, conversation flow, iteration — works exactly the same.
