Generating images with crisp, accurate text is the single hardest task in AI image generation — and Nano Banana 2 is the model that finally does it well. Posters, brand logos, app mockups, restaurant menus, package designs, business cards: Nano Banana 2 will render the words you asked for, in the font weight and casing you described, without the squiggly artefacts that plague stock SDXL or even FLUX. Google DeepMind trained the model with explicit glyph-level supervision, which is why it handles language as language rather than as visual texture.
Why choose Nano Banana 2
Pick Nano Banana 2 for any image where the text has to be legible. Bonus: it handles logos and brand-identity shots — minimal icons on coloured fields, monogram designs, packaging mockups. Costs 3 credits per generation. For text-free creative work — landscapes, portraits, abstract art — switch back to FLUX 1.1 Pro or RealVisXL V4 to save credits.

Frequently asked questions
- How does Nano Banana 2 compare to ChatGPT Images 2.0 for text?
- Both render text well — Nano Banana 2 has a slight edge on multi-line typography and font-weight precision; ChatGPT Images is faster on simple captions. Try both for hero work and pick the result you prefer.

- Yes — minimal icon-and-wordmark logos in particular. Specify the icon ("mountain", "coffee cup", "abstract leaf"), the typography style, and the colour palette in the prompt.
- What about non-Latin scripts?
- Same as edit mode: Latin best, Cyrillic and CJK supported but worth reviewing for glyph errors.
