Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) model profile

Evidence snapshot:

Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) is a Google model profile with a 131,072-token context window. The dated catalog snapshot records image, text modalities and interfaces for image generation, prompt caching, reasoning controls, structured output, text generation.

Nano Banana Pro is Google’s most advanced image-generation and editing model, built on Gemini 3 Pro. It extends the original Nano Banana with significantly improved multimodal reasoning, real-world grounding, and...

Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) is a reference profile: Google publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call.

Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) is an independent knowledge profile. It does not claim that Kendr hosts the model, quote a Kendr customer price, promise API availability, or advertise a Kendr routing receipt.

Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) accepts image and text and returns image and text. The snapshot records image generation, prompt caching, reasoning controls, structured output, text generation, tool calling, vision, and web search pricing as capabilities or interfaces.

The dated unit-price records list $2 per 1M tokens for input_image, $120 per 1M tokens for output_image, and $2 per 1M tokens for input_image. Each figure retains its billable dimension, variant, provider, source, and evidence date.

No comparable third-party benchmark value is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot. Missing values are not estimated.

No comparable popularity rank or traffic share is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot. No comparable routing rank or traffic-share observation is attached to this dated profile; missing adoption evidence is not estimated.

Profile data was reviewed for the 2026-09-06 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated.

When to pick Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image)

Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) is a reference profile: Google publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call.

Each condition below is derived from this model's own values in the 2026-09-06 snapshot, compared only against models publishing the same field.

  • Reach for it when the input includes images. The snapshot records image input, so screenshots, scans, and diagrams can be sent directly instead of described.
  • Reach for it when the output is image. This route produces image rather than only text, and those units are priced separately from tokens.
  • Reach for it when the model has to call tools. Tool calling is recorded in the snapshot, so this route can drive an agent loop rather than only answer in prose.
  • Look elsewhere when you need to call it through Kendr today. This is a research reference profile with no Kendr alias. The facts and evidence here are published for comparison; the model is not routable on Kendr.
  • Look elsewhere when the prompt is long. The 131K-token context window is in the bottom quarter of the 163 models publishing a limit. Long documents need chunking or a wider-context route.
  • Look elsewhere when the request is trivial and latency-sensitive. Reasoning is mandatory on this route and cannot be turned off, so short factual requests still pay reasoning tokens and reasoning latency.
