Nano Banana 2 (image generation)

Google’s fast ‘flash-tier’ text-to-image model, good for rapid drafts, batches of social thumbnails, and predictable in-image typography. Built for speed and quick iteration over maximum photorealism.

How to use it

Text-to-image with controls for aspect ratio, resolution tier (0.5K drafts up to 4K finals), batch size (up to 4 at once), and an optional web-grounding toggle. Heads up — it runs on the RunComfy service (a RunComfy account is required) and higher resolutions / web search cost more. Best practice: draft cheaply at 0.5K in a 4-up batch, then re-render the winner at 2K. Quote any literal on-image text for reliable rendering.

How to invoke / keep it on

Ask to “use Nano Banana 2” (or ‘nano-banana-2’). Requires the RunComfy CLI signed in; default to 1K unless you ask for higher to keep cost down.
