Combine a written brief with up to 10 reference images and choose 1K, 2K or 4K output. Try it in the generator below, with examples and only the controls that fit this model.
Nano Banana 2.1 is the current Nano Banana model on NENE Video. This page is the practical guide: how many references it accepts, which sizes it offers, what each size costs, and how to write a brief that uses them well. The generator beside it is the same one used on the Nano Banana 2 page, so you can read here and create there.
Think of a request in three parts: a prompt that names the result, a small set of references that each carry one job, and an output size chosen for where the image will be used. Most disappointing results come from skipping the first part and hoping the references explain themselves.
Keep the first request small enough to review. The steps below match the controls and result states in the generator above.
State the subject, camera view, lighting, material and finish in a few clear sentences. Add the one change you want if you are editing, and name what must stay the same. Doing this first makes it obvious which references you actually need.
Upload only images that add information: one for the subject, one for the setting, one for the palette or texture. Say in the prompt what each contributes. If two references disagree about the pose or the light, remove one instead of hoping the model averages them.
Use 1K to test a brief, 2K for most publishing, and 4K when the image will be printed or cropped hard. Check small text, logos, hands and edges at full size, and change one instruction at a time between variations.
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.
A written brief alone is enough for concept art, social graphics, product scenes and illustrations. Specific nouns, a camera view and a lighting description give more control than adjectives such as beautiful or cinematic.
Combine a subject, a setting and a style reference in one request. The limit is ten images of up to 20 MB each in JPEG, PNG or WebP. A smaller, well-chosen set is easier to reason about than a full folder.
Resolution changes the output size and the credit cost, not the accuracy of the content. Pick the smallest size that fits the destination, and move to 4K only for the final version.
Nano Banana 2.1 is priced at 3 credits at 1K, 5 at 2K and 8 at 4K. That makes it practical to test several prompt variations before spending credits on a large final render.
The generator is the source of truth for the current controls. Use this guide to plan a request, then confirm the exact quote before submitting.
Choose Nano Banana 2.1 when you want several references in one image, a choice of output size and the lowest credit cost among the Nano Banana models. The Nano Banana 2 page covers the same generator from the product-scene angle. Compare GPT Image 2.5 when you need extreme aspect ratios, and Seedream 5.0 Pro when a product reference workflow at 1K or 2K is the priority.
Check the main subject against your references, then inspect small text, logos, hands and edges at full size. Confirm the framing matches the destination ratio and that the lighting is consistent across the image. If one problem matters, change one instruction and generate a focused variation rather than rewriting the whole brief.

We last checked this page against the NENE generator on October 8, 2026. The generator always shows the current controls, availability and credit price before you submit.
Availability and controls can change. The live NENE workspace is the source of truth for the current inputs, duration, resolution, and credit quote.
