Nano-banana-pro is fal.ai's flagship image generation model — the higher-quality counterpart to nano-banana-2. It produces photorealistic images with exceptional detail fidelity, making it the go-to choice for hero images, showcase content, and any use case where image quality is the primary criterion.

What Makes Nano Banana Pro Different

Detail fidelity: nano-banana-pro produces images where fine details — fabric texture, skin pores, water droplets, material surfaces — are rendered with photographic precision. The difference is most visible in close-up and macro shots where detail fidelity is the whole point.

Lighting quality: The model handles complex lighting scenarios with greater accuracy — the way light falls on a subject, creates shadows, and interacts with different materials is more convincing than most models at this level.

Prompt adherence: nano-banana-pro follows complex, multi-element prompts more faithfully than the fast variant. If your prompt has specific compositional requirements (exact subject placement, specific elements in specific positions), nano-banana-pro is more likely to deliver.

Editing capability: The nano-banana-pro-edit variant supports image editing and inpainting — take an existing image and make targeted changes while preserving the rest.

When to Use Nano Banana Pro vs. Nano Banana 2

Use nano-banana-pro when:

The image is the final output that will be seen (thumbnail, hero image, showcase post)
Close-up or macro photography where detail fidelity is paramount
Complex compositional prompts with multiple specific requirements
You've already validated the prompt direction in nano-banana-2 and want maximum quality

Use nano-banana-2 when:

Testing and iterating on prompt direction before committing
Producing images at volume for backgrounds or supporting visuals
Generation speed matters more than maximum quality

Prompt Structure for Nano Banana Pro

Because nano-banana-pro follows complex prompts more faithfully, you can include more specific detail without losing coherence:

Structure:

[Subject with specific physical detail] + [Setting with specific context] + [Lighting with specific direction] + [Camera/lens specification] + [Stylistic reference or mood]

Example: A close-up of a master watchmaker's hands assembling a movement. Older hands, precise grip on a screwdriver. Jeweler's loupe mounted on spectacles. Bright clinical work light from above-right. Macro lens, extremely shallow depth of field. Documentary photography aesthetic.

10 Nano Banana Pro Prompts

A hyper-detailed close-up of a beekeeper's gloved hand holding a honeycomb frame. Bees in motion, sharp on the honeycomb, blurred in flight. Bright summer afternoon light. Macro.
A luxury hotel suite at dusk. Floor-to-ceiling windows, city lights coming on below. The room interior is warmly lit. Interior design photography.
A sushi chef's hands forming nigiri — precise, practiced movement. Each fish piece sharp. Blurred restaurant background. Warm overhead light. Macro.
An alpine climber attaches a carabiner — extreme close-up of hands and equipment against a rock face. Ice crystals on the rope. Cold blue ambient light.
A master calligrapher mid-brushstroke. The ink on the paper is wet. The stroke is captured mid-movement. Bright even light. Macro of the brush and paper.
A glass alembic still in a craft distillery — amber liquid visible inside, copper tubing, warm backlight through the glass. Rich material textures.
A desert sand dune at dawn, no wind. The shadow line across the dune is perfectly sharp. Footprints from a previous day in the foreground. Wide, minimal.
A deep-sea bioluminescent creature photographed in the dark. Blue-green light from the creature itself illuminates the surrounding water. Black background. Macro.
A Georgian library — floor-to-ceiling dark wood shelves, rolling ladder, green reading lamps. A scholar reads at a desk in the center. Warm ambient library light.
A hand-thrown ceramic bowl on a potter's wheel mid-spin. The clay is wet. The potter's hands shape the rim. Side-lit by afternoon window light. Close.

Image-to-Video with Nano Banana Pro

For short-form content creators, the nano-banana-pro workflow often ends in video:

Generate your hero image in nano-banana-pro — maximum quality still
Animate it with Kling o3 — add motion appropriate to the scene (water ripples, cloud movement, subtle character motion)
Post the animated version as a Reel or Short

This two-step approach produces the highest quality input for animation — nano-banana-pro's detail fidelity gives Kling o3 a richer source image to work with.

Accessing Nano Banana Pro

aicut provides access to nano-banana-pro in the AI image creation flow. Both the standard generation mode and the edit variant (nano-banana-pro-edit) are accessible from the model selector. Switch between nano-banana-2 and nano-banana-pro in the same session to use the recommended two-stage workflow.

Key Takeaways

nano-banana-pro is the maximum-quality choice for images where detail fidelity matters — hero images, showcase content, close-up photography.
Use it after you've validated the prompt direction in nano-banana-2.
The edit variant (nano-banana-pro-edit) supports inpainting and targeted editing for still images.
Combine with Kling o3 animation for the highest-quality image-to-video workflow.
Available on aicut alongside nano-banana-2 and other image models.
