Nano Banana 2 is Google’s Gemini 3.1 Flash Image—the Flash-speed workhorse for multi-reference stills on Cinel. Members pay 6 credits per image at 1K, 2K, or 4K (same price — observed imagePricing). This model is memberOnly: gold credits only; there is no daily silver trial on this slug (observed). It is not a free-queue model—Kolors and FLUX.2 Klein 4B stay at 0 credits when you want free runs (observed). For a silver daily-credit path at flat 6, open Nano Banana 2.1; for cheap 1K drafts, open Nano Banana 2 Lite.
Fuse product, person, and place references into one coherent frame, then finish at 2K/4K without a resolution surcharge on Cinel.
Flat 6 credits (1K=2K=4K) · members only · multi-reference · free queue = Kolors / FLUX.2 Klein 4B — not this model.
Examples
See Nano Banana 2 in action
Three directed stills—not corner-label filler. Each figcaption states what stayed locked and what changed: UI chrome restyle, vinyl mascot consistency, or food plating direction.
KPI chrome locked — same dashboard frame; chart theme → neon mint dual-series. Shows directed UI restyle.
Same vinyl mascot — explorer identity held; peach seamless catalog light. Shows 3D figurine consistency.
Same bowl, steam held — tonkotsu plating locked; warm wood + steam hero crop. Shows food still direction.
Why Nano Banana 2
Why open Nano Banana 2 on Cinel
1K → 4K with no resolution surcharge
Draft at 1K, publish at 4K—still 6 credits per image on Cinel (observed flat). Batch 1–4 outputs multiplies by count, not by resolution.
Same studio, clear upgrade paths
Stay for Flash multi-ref work; jump to 2.1 for silver trials, Pro for denser fact and typography jobs, or Lite for cheap 1K volume.
Workflow
From references to a 4K still in three steps
Step 1Open Nano Banana 2 (members)
Confirm 6 credits × output count on Generate before submit; default resolution is 4K.
Step 2Brief ± labeled refs
Name each upload by role (“image 1 = product, image 2 = talent, image 3 = location”). Respect studio ref limits.
Step 3Generate → refine or promote
Directed edit (“same subject, overcast sky”), or switch to 2.1 / Pro / GPT Image 2.5 when the brief needs their lane.

Deep Dive & Practical Guide
Nano Banana 2 Capabilities & Guide
Explore generation speeds, resolution options, prompt fidelity, and workflow tips for Nano Banana 2.
Nano Banana 2 is the nickname for Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, and it has become the everyday workhorse for people who build pictures out of other pictures. Hand it a product photo, a model shot and a location reference, and it fuses them into one believable frame while keeping the people and packaging recognisable. It renders at 1K, 2K or 4K on Cinel, runs at Flash speed, and costs flat 6 credits for members (1K = 2K = 4K) — a sweet spot between the bargain Lite tier and the heavyweight Pro.
Nano Banana 2 Feature Guide
What makes Nano Banana 2 different
The headline skill is multi-reference consistency. Google built this generation to hold up to five distinct characters and as many as fourteen objects steady across a scene, so a brand mascot, a hero product and a presenter can share one frame without morphing into each other. That is a generational jump over the original Nano Banana, which ran at lower resolution and was less reliable with text.
The second advantage is resolution headroom at Flash speed. Where the Lite version stops at 1K, Nano Banana 2 lets you take the same composite to 2K for web heroes or 4K for print, and text in the frame stays readable at those sizes. It approaches Pro-level polish for most commercial briefs while costing less and returning faster, which is why many teams make it their default and only escalate to Nano Banana Pro for the toughest jobs.

Before you create
Which Google model powers Nano Banana 2?
Yes. Nano Banana 2 is the creator community name for Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (gemini-3.1-flash-image)—the Flash-speed workhorse for multi-reference stills.
What does Nano Banana 2 cost on Cinel?
It is flat 6 credits per image across all resolutions (1K, 2K, and 4K). You only pay more if you increase the batch output count (1–4 images).
Can non-members try it with daily silver credits?
No. Nano Banana 2 is a member-only model (memberOnly: true) and requires gold credits. If you want to use daily silver credits at flat 6, open Nano Banana 2.1; for low-cost 1K drafts, open Nano Banana 2 Lite.
Is 4K output more expensive than 1K?
Not on Cinel for this model—1K, 2K, and 4K are all flat 6 credits per image. Older documentation that suggested higher costs at 2K/4K was outdated and has been corrected.
How many reference images does it support?
The studio interface supports references (supportsReferenceImages: true): non-members can attach up to 3, and members up to 8 where supported. In prompts, label each reference by role (e.g., "image 1 = product, image 2 = talent, image 3 = location").
Does Nano Banana 2 include a visible watermark?
No. Google embeds invisible SynthID provenance metadata, but Cinel does not add any visible watermark or overlay to your downloads.
Is Nano Banana 2 free on Cinel?
No. Nano Banana 2 is a 6-credit member model. Cinel's genuine 0-credit free queue models are Kolors and FLUX.2 Klein 4B. Google Flow's zero-credit promotion is separate from Cinel's infrastructure.
Should new projects use Nano Banana 2 or Nano Banana 2.1?
Google's public selection guide recommends Nano Banana 2.1 for new projects. On Cinel, Nano Banana 2.1 also supports daily silver trial credits, while Nano Banana 2 remains available as the dedicated Flash multi-reference lane for members.
