When Pro is worth the higher price
Nano Banana 2 handles most single-product edits. Pro earns its price in three situations: when a shot combines several references and each has to keep its identity (a garment, a model, a location), when a small product has to survive several edits with its details intact, and when you are putting apparel, jewelry or intimates on a model. In our category tests, on-model lingerie and swimwear shots that GPT Image 2 refused went through on Nano Banana. Nudity is still blocked.
The pricing is simple. Pro charges per image, and when we checked the catalog in October 2026 the 2K setting cost the same as 1K, so there was no saving in choosing the smaller file. Use 2K for marketplace galleries, where buyers zoom; our 2K outputs were 2048×2048 at 1:1 and 1856×2304 at 4:5. Pro has no 4K setting, so a 4K file is a Nano Banana 2 job.
