What is new in Nano Banana 2.1
Nano Banana 2.1 is the newest model in Google's Nano Banana 2 family. It keeps everything Nano Banana 2 does, text to image, editing and up to 14 reference images, and gets better at three things designers ask for most. Layouts hold together: grids stay even, panels line up and the copy lands where you put it. People and products stay consistent when you carry them into new scenes. And edits do what you ask and nothing else, so a color change stays a color change.
On Pixel Dojo, Nano Banana 2.1 is now the default model in the Nano Banana generator, and it also powers Character Studio, Film Studio frames, Character Sheets, Consistent Characters, Image Relighting and Reality Polisher.
What you can create with Nano Banana 2.1
We made all six of these with Nano Banana 2.1 on Pixel Dojo at 2K. Each tile shows its settings and credit cost. Tap Use this prompt on any tile to load it into the prompt box at the top of the page, then press Create with Nano Banana 2.1.
A finished festival poster with the title and both lines of type set exactly as written, clean margins and a bold flat illustration. Start from this prompt for your own event.
A finished vertical poster for an independent film festival called MIDNIGHT ORCHARD. Bold flat geometric illustration of a crescent moon caught in the branches of a stylized pear tree, deep plum and saffron palette with fine paper grain. The title in tall condensed letters across the top, and the lines OCTOBER 14 TO 19 and SEVEN NIGHTS OF NEW CINEMA in a small clean sans serif along the bottom, generous margins, precise alignment.
A macro product hero with crisp facets, a single running drop and believable reflections on wet stone.
Studio product photograph, low three quarter angle on a 100mm macro lens. A faceted amber glass perfume bottle with a brushed brass cap stands on a slab of wet black basalt, a single drop running down the glass, soft rim light from behind turning the liquid honey gold, crisp reflections on the wet stone, dark charcoal backdrop, razor sharp detail on every facet.
Natural skin texture, freckles and film grain in an editorial portrait lit by a rainy window.
Editorial portrait by a rainy window, medium close up on an 85mm lens. A woman in her early thirties with copper hair in a loose braid, freckles and a charcoal wool coat with the collar turned up, looking just past the camera with a calm half smile, rain streaked glass behind her throwing soft blue light, natural skin texture, fine film grain.
Architecture with straight verticals, layered materials and a single disc of sunlight exactly where the prompt put it.
Architectural interior photograph of a small reading room carved into a cliffside: curved rammed earth walls, a long built in oak bench with linen cushions, one round skylight casting a sharp disc of afternoon sun on the stone floor, books set into wall niches, a single olive tree in a stone planter. Wide angle, perfectly straight verticals, calm warm palette.
A styled overhead food shot with hard side light, long shadows and every ingredient from the prompt on the table.
Overhead food photograph on a dark walnut table: a cast iron skillet of shakshuka with three glossy eggs, crumbled feta, torn cilantro and a swirl of chili oil, a torn sourdough loaf, a small bowl of labneh and a rumpled linen napkin, hard morning side light with long shadows, a wisp of steam, rich saturated color.
A matched icon set: one stroke weight, one corner radius and two colors across all nine icons.
A finished set of nine flat vector icons for a mountain hut hiking app, arranged in an even three by three grid on warm ivory: alpine hut, trail marker, water source, weather, avalanche risk, first aid, campfire, lookout tower, folded map. Two color style in deep forest green and terracotta, identical stroke weight and corner radius across every icon, no labels and no text.
Same person, same product, new scene
We took two images from the showcase and fed each back in as a reference. One prompt moved the portrait subject into a pottery studio. The other asked for exactly three changes to the perfume shot.
From one reference photo, the same face, braid and freckles in a brand new scene.
Use the reference image as the identity reference and keep the same woman clearly recognisable: same face, copper braid and freckles. Show her as a ceramicist at work in a sunlit pottery studio, shaping a tall vase on a spinning wheel, wet clay on her forearms, a linen apron, shelves of glazed pots behind her, warm afternoon light through dusty windows, documentary photograph on a 35mm lens.
Three changes asked for, three changes made: cobalt glass, travertine and morning sun. The bottle, cap, drop and angle stay put.
Edit the reference photograph with exactly three changes: make the glass and the liquid deep cobalt blue, replace the wet black stone with a slab of pale travertine, and light the scene with bright morning sun from the left. Keep the bottle shape, the brushed brass cap, the running drop and the camera angle exactly the same.
- Say what to keep. Naming the face, the braid and the freckles carried the same woman into a new scene from a single reference photo.
- List each change you want and tell it to keep everything else. The perfume edit made its three changes and left the bottle, cap and angle untouched.
Nano Banana 2.1 vs Nano Banana 2 on an infographic
We sent the same infographic prompt at 2K to both models. Nano Banana 2.1 follows the brief closely, with four even panels, a title and one short caption each. Nano Banana 2 adds its own tags and props for a busier, more illustrated page. Both cost 3 credits at 2K. Pick Nano Banana 2.1 when the layout has to match your brief. Nano Banana 2 is still in the model picker if you like its more decorated style.
Same prompt: A clean editorial infographic titled HOW COFFEE IS ROASTED, landscape layout with four numbered panels from left to right: GREEN BEANS, DRYING, FIRST CRACK, COOLING. Each panel has a precise flat illustration of the beans at that stage and a one line caption under it, warm cream background, espresso brown and copper accents, consistent icon style, thin rules dividing the panels.
