Nano Banana Pro AI Image Generator
Nano Banana Pro is the higher tier of Google's Nano Banana image family on Kavel. Write a prompt, pick 1K, 2K or 4K, and see the credits before you spend them. In our own six-run test it returned every image in 43 to 53 seconds.
Nano Banana Pro AI Image Generator
Two images Nano Banana Pro made here
Generated with Nano Banana Pro on this site on 2026-08-04, unretouched. Both were chosen for the same reason: this model's distinguishing strength is type. Asking most image models for a headline returns letter-shaped decoration; these came back spelled correctly, kerned, and sitting where the layout wanted them.

What is Nano Banana Pro?
Nano Banana Pro is the upper tier of Google's Nano Banana image models, available on Kavel as a text-to-image generator. You describe the image you want, choose an output resolution, and Pro renders it. It sits alongside Nano Banana 2 on the same generator, so you can switch between them without changing anything else in your workflow.
Creative engine
Measured, not quoted
Every number on this page comes from generations we ran ourselves on 22 July 2026 through the same pipeline the site uses. Timings include queue time, so treat them as end-to-end waiting, not raw model speed.
Text to image
Text to image. Describe the subject, lighting, framing and style, and Pro renders it from scratch.
Three output sizes
Three output sizes. 1K for drafts and iteration, 2K for most finished work, 4K when the image needs to hold up large.
Predictable turnaround
Predictable turnaround. Across six runs in our test the slowest result arrived ten seconds after the fastest.
The OpenAI side of the shelf runs GPT Image 2, with its newest release covered at GPT Image 2.5. Nano Banana 2 is the cheaper tier of this same family, and Qwen Image 3 is the one to reach for when the frame is mostly lettering.
When to reach for Pro
Pro is not automatically the right answer. It earns its place in specific situations, and we would rather tell you which ones.
You need a predictable wait
If you are generating in a batch or making someone wait on the result, a narrow timing range matters more than a fast best case.
You want the brief followed literally
In our poster test Pro stayed with the requested elements instead of introducing extra scenery. Useful when the prompt is already art direction — and when that poster needs a paragraph of copy on it too, [Qwen Image 3](/image/qwen-image-3) takes over.
You are finishing, not exploring
For wide exploration the cheaper 1K tier of Nano Banana 2 covers more ground per credit. Pro suits the image you intend to keep.
Nano Banana Pro on Kavel
What you get on this generator, and what we have not yet verified.
Prompt to image
Text-to-image generation from a single prompt, with no reference photo required.
Resolution you pick
1K, 2K and 4K are selectable per generation, and the credit cost updates with your choice.
Same workspace as other models
Pro appears in the model picker next to Nano Banana 2 and Lite, so switching does not mean relearning the tool.
Editing: not offered here yet
We have only verified text-to-image on Pro. For editing an existing photo, use Nano Banana 2, which supports image-to-image on Kavel today.

How to use Nano Banana Pro
Four steps from prompt to saved image.
Pick Nano Banana Pro
Open the image generator and choose Nano Banana Pro in the model picker.
Write the brief, not just the subject
Name the lighting, framing and style as well as the subject. In our tests the prompts that specified light direction produced the most predictable results.
Choose your resolution
Iterate at 1K or 2K — they cost the same — then re-run the winning prompt at 4K. The credit cost shown updates as you switch.
Generate and save
Results land in your history, so you can compare wordings side by side before deciding which to keep.
What people build with Nano Banana Pro
Jobs that match what we saw it do in testing.
Posters and covers with text
Layouts where a headline has to render correctly inside the artwork rather than being added afterwards.
Product and packaging shots
Studio-style images where surface, reflection and lighting direction carry the result.
Editorial and portrait concepts
Styled portraits where you want natural skin texture kept rather than smoothed away.
Final frames for a set
When you have explored cheaply and now need the one image that gets published.
Kavel pricing — you pay per generation, never per seat
One credit pool covers Nano Banana images and Seedance and Veo video. The cost shows before every run, the safety check runs before the model does, and a failed run is refunded automatically. Use a subscription for ongoing work, or a one-time pack when you just need to top up.

Model credit guide
What each model costs in credits
A failed run is refunded automatically. The exact estimate in the generator varies by model, length, resolution, audio, and number of images.
| Type | Model | Credit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Seedance 2.5 | The long-take tier, priced per second: 5s 480p ≈ 525 credits, 5s 720p ≈ 1,185. A full 30s take runs ≈ 3,150 at 480p and ≈ 7,090 at 720p. |
| Video | Seedance 2.0 | Supplying a starting frame or clip costs less than starting from words alone: 6s 720p ≈ 565 credits from an image, ≈ 925 from text. Scales with resolution and length. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Fast | Faster and lower cost. 6s 720p text-to-video ≈ 745 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Mini | The cheapest tier of the Seedance 2 family. 6s 720p ≈ 465 credits, 6s 480p ≈ 215 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 1.5 Pro | Audio doubles the rate. 6s 720p ≈ 85 credits silent, ≈ 160 with audio; 1080p ≈ 175 and ≈ 340. |
| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video, not per second, and the tier you pick is the whole price: Lite ≈ 115 credits at 720p and ≈ 135 at 1080p, Fast ≈ 225 at 720p, Quality ≈ 940 at 720p. |
| Video | Kling 3.0 | Audio raises the rate by about half. 6s 720p ≈ 320 credits silent, ≈ 455 with audio; 1080p ≈ 405 and ≈ 610. |
| Video | MiniMax H3 | Fixed 2K, no resolution ladder. Priced per second — a 5s clip ≈ 395 credits. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 | Generate or edit from text and images. 20 credits per 1K image, 30 at 2K, 45 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana Pro | Consistent run times across generations. 30 credits per 1K or 2K image, 55 at 4K. |
| Image | Nano Banana 2 Lite | Faster, simpler variant, and the everyday editing price: a flat 15 credits per image at every resolution. |
| Image | GPT Image 2 | The lowest-cost premium image model here. 10 credits per 1K image, 15 at 2K, 30 at 4K. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Flare | OpenAI's newest image model, on the fast tier. 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K — same price whether you generate or edit. |
| Image | GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | The 2.5 tier for edits that touch only what you named. Same price as Flare: 25 credits per 1K image, 40 at 2K, 60 at 4K. |
| Image | Seedream 5.0 Lite | Flat pricing — 20 credits per image whether you generate or edit. |
Nano Banana Pro FAQ
Answers based on our own testing and on what Kavel actually offers.
Not in a single direction. At matched 2K resolution the two finished within roughly the same time in our tests, and each followed the brief more closely on a different prompt. Pro was the steadier of the two on turnaround; Nano Banana 2 costs fewer credits at 1K, which makes it better for exploring. We wrote up the full side-by-side, including where our results contradict each other.
30 credits per image at 1K and 2K, and 55 credits at 4K. The cost for your selected resolution is shown in the generator before you generate.
1024 x 1024. This matters when comparing models: in our tests Nano Banana 2 defaulted to 2048 x 2048 on the same prompts, so an unconfigured comparison is not comparing equal work.
In six runs on 22 July 2026 it returned in 43 to 53 seconds, measured end to end including queue time. That is our own measurement on our pipeline, not a published benchmark, and your result will vary with load.
Not on Kavel today. We have only verified text-to-image for Pro, so we do not offer it for editing. Use Nano Banana 2 if you want to work from a photo you already have.
Generating spends credits from your Kavel account, so you will need to be signed in for the credits to be tracked.
They chase different failures. Banana Pro holds texture and lighting — product shots and portraits keep their materials rather than turning plastic. Seedream 5.0 Pro pushes stylised range further. If the subject must stay recognisable, Banana Pro; if the style is the subject, Seedream.
