Nano Banana 2.1
Google's Nano Banana 2.1 on Imgo — steadier text in images, several figures in one frame, and up to 5 reference images
Nano Banana 2.1 is Google's image model, stable since October 6, 2026, and the step up from Nano Banana 2 wherever lettering matters: signs, packaging text, UI mockups and captions come back legible, several characters can share one frame without faces drifting, and wide 21:9 layouts hold their composition. On Imgo it runs in the image generator and the image editor, takes a text prompt plus up to 5 reference images, and renders 2K output at 5 credits an image — the generator quotes every run before you submit.

Open Nano Banana 2.1 in the generatorPrompts to start with
Copy one, fill in the [brackets], and open it in the generator with Nano Banana 2.1 already selected.
Exact text on a sign or label in a scene
Create a photorealistic scene of [setting] featuring a [surface] that displays exactly the text '[exact text]' in [font style] lettering. This is the only writing in the image, spelled exactly as quoted, with perspective, lighting, and wear that match the surface. Frame the shot so the text is fully visible and sharp, spanning about [text size] of the frame width. No other words, letters, numbers, logos, or watermarks anywhere in the image.
Clean catalog main image
Photograph the exact [product] from the reference on a seamless pure-white background. Preserve the package silhouette, [brand color], logo position, label wording, and material. Center it with natural perspective, a subtle contact shadow, even studio lighting, and no props, watermark, or added text.
Character reference sheet
Create a reference sheet for the fictional [character name]: [age range], [face shape], [hair], [distinctive feature], wearing [signature outfit]. Show front, three-quarter, and profile views under neutral studio light. Keep facial proportions and outfit details the same in every view. Plain background, no captions.
Core benefits
Practical value mapped to real production workflows.
Benefit
01
Text that stays legible
Lettering is what Nano Banana 2.1 changes most: put the exact wording in quotes inside the prompt — a headline, a label, a price tag — and it renders the characters instead of approximating them. That is what makes store signage, packaging fronts and app-store screenshots workable straight from the generator.
Benefit
02
Several figures, one frame
Group scenes are where Nano Banana 2 blends two faces into one; 2.1 keeps each person's features and wardrobe apart across the frame. Attach a reference per character when the people must match real ones, and keep the cast small enough to describe.
Benefit
03
Five references in one run
Attach a product photo, a logo, a character, a style frame — up to five — and say in the prompt what each is for. The model composes a new image from your text and the references together, which is how packaging, brand colors and faces stay yours.
Benefit
04
Generate, then edit in place
Nano Banana 2.1 also powers Imgo's image editor, so a result can be revised with a mask, an outpaint or a guided instruction without switching models. Iterate in the generator until the composition is right, then fix the details in the editor.
Recommended workflow
A simple three-step path from source material to a reusable result.
Step 1
Pick Nano Banana 2.1 and a ratio
Open the image generator with Nano Banana 2.1 selected and choose a preset from square to widescreen. The credit quote for the run appears before you submit.
Step 2
Write the prompt, attach references
Describe subject, scene and light, put any on-image text in quotes, and attach up to 5 reference images when the result must match a real product, logo or person.
Step 3
Iterate, then reuse
Adjust the prompt until the take is right, refine it in the image editor, or use the image as a start frame for a Seedance 2 shot — everything stays in the same workspace.
Frequently asked questions
Is Nano Banana 2.1 available on Imgo?
Yes. It is live in Imgo's image generator and image editor, with the credit quote shown before every run. New accounts start with 10 credits, and daily check-ins add more.
What does Nano Banana 2.1 cost?
5 credits per image at 2K, the model's native resolution. The generator quotes each run before you submit, so the number is never a surprise.
Nano Banana 2.1 or Nano Banana 2 — which should I use?
Pick 2.1 when the image carries text, holds several people, or needs a very wide layout. Nano Banana 2 remains a strong general-purpose pick at 9 credits, and Nano Banana 2 Lite is the cheapest for high-volume drafts. The side-by-side comparison lists every difference.
What inputs does Nano Banana 2.1 take on Imgo?
A text prompt plus up to 5 reference images. Google's own API additionally accepts video and PDF input; those are not available on Imgo, so describe that material in the prompt or attach a frame from it as a reference image.
Can it keep a character consistent across images?
Attach the same character reference image on every run and describe the character the same way each time. References are what carry the face and wardrobe; the prompt carries the pose and scene.
