Google’s Nano Banana Pro can finally render readable text in AI images

Google made Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) generally available — an image model built with the reasoning of Gemini 3, and notably the first where a prompt like ‘add the text Sale in bold white on the product’ reliably produces legible words instead of decorative gibberish. A lighter sibling, Nano Banana 2, even accepts a video file or YouTube URL as context to generate thumbnails and posters. The release lands as Google retires its older Imagen models in favor of the Gemini line.
