Flux 2 Pro vs Google Nano Banana Pro
Generated on PixelDojo. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Flux 2 Pro costs 1.5 credits and edited our reference photo in about 32 seconds. Google Nano Banana Pro costs 3 credits, exactly double, and took about 38 seconds on the same job. Both kept the subject's face, glasses, hair, and outfit intact. The real difference showed up in the background: Nano Banana Pro wrote out real, readable shop signs, and Flux 2 Pro didn't.

How It Works
How we ran the comparison:
Start from the same reference photo
One character sheet, generated earlier with a character-consistency tool, fed as the only reference to both models.
Send the same scene-placement instruction
One prompt naming every identity detail to preserve: face, glasses, hair color and texture, jacket, and shirt, plus the new scene.
Download both results and compare
We pulled both finished files, checked identity match against the reference, and read the signage in the background of each.
The Pixel Dojo Advantage
| Others | Pixel Dojo |
|---|---|
| Price | Flux 2 Pro is 1.5 credits at its 1 megapixel default, 1 credit at 0.5 megapixels, 2 credits at 2 or 4 megapixels. Nano Banana Pro is a flat 3 credits at 1K or 2K, 6 credits at 4K. Flux 2 Pro is half the price at their default tiers. |
| What we measured | Flux 2 Pro finished in about 32 seconds. Nano Banana Pro finished in about 38 seconds. Close enough that price is the bigger factor for most jobs. |
| Reference image limit | Flux 2 Pro accepts up to 8 reference image URLs on its Pro tier. Nano Banana Pro accepts up to 14. Both took just the one character sheet in our test. |
| What we saw: Flux 2 Pro | A square 1008x1008 shot, subject centered on the bicycle facing the camera, rain streaks and wet pavement rendered with real texture. The neon shop signs behind her fell to soft, illegible color blocks. Face, glasses, red curly hair, denim jacket, and yellow shirt all matched the reference. |
| What we saw: Nano Banana Pro | A square 1024x1024 shot pulled back to show a full street: taxis with light-trail motion blur, pedestrians under umbrellas, a dusk sky, and three separate shop signs rendered as clean, readable text ('JAZZ BAR', 'CAFE', 'BOOKS'). Same identity match on the subject. |
