People still search for Nano Banana 2. NENE Video now runs it on the newer Nano Banana 2.1, with up to 10 reference images and 1K, 2K or 4K output. Try it in the generator below, with examples and only the controls that fit this model.
Nano Banana 2 workflows on NENE Video now run on Nano Banana 2.1, the newer and lower-cost model, so images can differ from older Nano Banana 2 results. This page covers the product-scene and composition work people usually come to Nano Banana 2 for.
Nano Banana 2 is built for image work that combines a written direction with several visual references. The NENE Video page lets you bring a product, a character, a material, a layout, or a color reference into one image brief, then choose the output size and ratio that match the intended use. It can support concept development, product variations, mood boards, packaging exploration, and source images that you may later send into a video workflow.
A reference collection works best when every image has a distinct job. Tell the model which image defines the subject, which one carries the setting, and which one describes the finish or composition. Do not assume that adding more sources will fix a vague brief. Review the output for identity, lettering, object boundaries, and the relationship between references before downloading or using the image as a campaign asset.
Keep the first request small enough to review. The steps below match the controls and result states in the generator above.
Start with the final image you want, then label the reference roles in your own brief: subject, pose, material, background, palette, or layout. Keep the collection small enough to reason about. Contradictory sources can make a result harder to evaluate rather than more detailed.
Explain which visual facts should combine and which should stay separate. Describe the focal subject, camera view, lighting, texture, and negative space in words as well as images. A prompt gives the model a hierarchy that a folder of references cannot provide by itself.
Select a supported ratio, resolution, and output format where the controls provide it. Read the live credit quote before submitting. When the image completes, compare the main subject with the references, inspect small details at full size, and make a focused variation if one requirement is missing.
Choose a use case that fits the model's actual input and output. Treat each result as a reviewable draft until it passes your own quality and rights checks.
Use one source for the product and another for the setting or surface when the brand object must remain recognizable. Describe material, finish, package shape, and placement explicitly. This creates a better review target than a generic request for a premium product photo.
Combine a subject reference with a pose, clothing, or lighting direction when the final image needs a coherent character concept. Keep consent and usage rights clear, and inspect facial features, hands, garment seams, and accessories before using the result publicly.
A reference set can establish palette, architecture, texture, and framing while the prompt defines the new subject. Use this for a board of visual directions or a first campaign exploration. The output is a creative starting point, not proof that every source detail was reproduced.
When the next step is video, keep the main subject large enough to track and avoid a background with confusing repeated patterns. Choose a ratio that leaves room for the intended camera move. Confirm the image works as a still before opening a video model page.

Choose Nano Banana 2 when several reference images carry meaningful information and you want selectable output sizes. GPT Image 2 is a simpler fit for a brief or a focused edit, while GPT Image 2.5 is worth comparing when extreme ratios matter. Seedream 5.0 Pro is a useful alternative for product references when a smaller, explicit set and 1K or 2K output match the production plan.
Review a Nano Banana 2 image by tracing the relationship between the references rather than checking each source in isolation. Is the product still the same object, does the setting preserve the requested perspective, and did the palette or material source introduce a detail you did not intend? Remove a reference if it creates a contradiction, then compare the new result with the previous one. For a public campaign, also inspect faces, artwork, logos, and recognizable locations. Record which source contributed each accepted detail so the next edit remains understandable.
