Google Announces Availability of “Nano Banana 2” on Google Gemini Across the Arab World
Google has officially launched “Nano Banana 2,” its latest advanced image generation model, across Arab countries starting today, expanding access to high-performance visual AI tools for users and developers throughout the region.
The new model is now accessible via Google Gemini - both on web and mobile - as well as through Google Search using Google Lens and AI Mode, reinforcing the company’s strategy to integrate generative AI more deeply into its core consumer platforms.
Faster Generation and Pro-Level Capabilities
Nano Banana 2 introduces significant improvements in intelligence and speed, enabling rapid visual generation and seamless iteration. The model also expands access to previously exclusive “Pro” features, making advanced creative tools available to a broader audience.
Among its key capabilities:
Advanced global knowledge integration
The model leverages Gemini’s factual knowledge base and is supported by real-time web search data and images, allowing for more accurate visualization of specific subjects and contexts.
Text precision and translation inside images
Nano Banana 2 enables users to generate accurate, readable text within visual assets, making it suitable for marketing materials, greeting cards, and branded content. It also allows translation of text embedded in images, facilitating cross-border communication and global idea sharing.
Element and character consistency
The system maintains visual consistency across up to five characters within a single workflow, while preserving detailed accuracy for as many as 14 distinct elements - a feature particularly relevant for storytelling, advertising, and product visualization.
Production-ready specifications
Users can generate attention-grabbing visual assets with full control over aspect ratios and resolution settings ranging from 512 pixels to 4K. This ensures clarity and sharpness whether the image is intended for social media posts, digital campaigns, or high-resolution display backgrounds.
Enhanced visual fidelity
Nano Banana 2 delivers more dynamic lighting, sharper detail, and refined aesthetics, while maintaining the rapid generation speeds associated with Flash-class models.
Broad Rollout Across Google Products
The rollout begins today across multiple Google platforms, including:
Google Gemini (web version and mobile app)
Google Search via Google Lens and AI Mode
For developers, Nano Banana 2 is available in Preview through AI Studio and the Gemini API, enabling experimentation and integration into third-party applications and services.
The regional expansion underscores Google’s commitment to scaling advanced generative AI capabilities in emerging markets, as competition intensifies globally around multimodal AI systems that combine text, image, and real-time knowledge retrieval into unified user experiences.
